India has become a dialogue partner in Tempest, the sixth-generation fighter jet programme jointly developed by the United Kingdom, Japan and Italy, with induction planned from 2034. The status lets India discuss the programme's technology, progress and capabilities, but it does not make India a buyer or co-developer. Tempest has received US$6.1 billion to advance its full-scale design phase. Separately, India is building the Advanced Medium Combat Aircraft (AMCA), a fifth-generation fighter expected to join the Indian Air Force by 2035.
