It won’t. Unless their intent is to either never fly or just crash.

I had an Indian mechanical engineer ask me if the inspection department uses gage pins just yesterday. And he’s one of the better Indian mechanical engineers I have worked with.

I’d bet dollars to doughnuts we could supply them with three planes and a complete set of drawings and they still wouldn’t be able to make a working plane.

It will take a long time and likely under perform. But some of those Indians studying in the US, UK and Canada will return home and apply their knowledge there. But it will probably happen eventually.

They already have a light fighter, although not stealth. I also don't expect it to be amazing but I assume it is good enough to fight similar non-stealth planes.
