Why don't you guys just let the kid be.

He made a post claiming India is able to develop a 5th generation turbofan (class of F-119, WS-15, F-135/6, and IZD.30) and that UK and France may seek Indian assistance in their 5th/5.5th generation fighter. Acknowledge this is the internet and avoid going into an endless "discussion". Indians are too good at those types of "discussions".

Well, please try it the other way around and explain us, why do you think we should belive taht India could do this independently while it tries the same for a fourth generation engine (the Kaveri) since decades without success, while it tries to develop and get a decent fourth generation fighter into service since decades without true success!? IMO India’s endless list of wishes, promised and in the end delays or just plain failures - I would call this a hard reality check - gives me NOT A SINGLE jota of hope, India could develop a faith generation let a fifth generation fighter independently.

Do't get me wrong, and in no way I want to belittle India or its achievements and even more so its rise, but these constant claims what India will do as step 5 and 6 - aka dreaming about 5th & 6th generation fighters and more - while still not getting steps 3 and 4 done without falling is in fact embarrassing.
Their tactic is to drag you down to their level of thinking, and then use whatever experience they've got, however limited, to beat you.

Indian military equipment. In Delhi on Friday 26 January, a military parade was held in honor of India's Republic Day, marking the adoption of the constitution on 26 January 1950 and the acquisition of sovereignty from Britain. The military parade was hosted by Indian President Draupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, guests from different countries, including French President Emmanuel Macron. For the first time, military women became the main theme of a military parade. For the first time, the parade was opened by 100 women playing Indian national musical instruments. India's military equipment is quite diverse, as defense products are purchased from 85 countries, the main suppliers being Russia, Israel and France. But there was little of her at this parade. The military part of the parade was led by Russian-Indian T-90S Bhishma tanks; the first Indian T-90S tank was assembled on January 7, 2004.
