Thanks a TON for such an informative post.
This will prove that our reserch organisations are capable of designing any thing. we just need to have faith in them & give them enough time to develop the tech from scratch.
hope Russia will learn its leson by the decisions Indian had made in the last couple of year.
we really dont want to loose Russia but they must change their way of doing business & be more reliable, punctule & provide spares at right time.
IA & IAF loves the fancy INPORTED items more than the indigenous products. hell with them.
whem will these fools understand the importance of the Indigenisation of the equipments.
Russia need to learn a lot of things when it comes to doing business from US & The Europian countries.
they never delays, honors each & every commitment, not cost escalations in the middle.
otherwise they will loose Indian market for their wepons some day.
best of luck to DRDO.
test as many times as you like. fail many times. but please dont dump the project.
develop a potnt engine for our jets. may be a decade later but India wants to be selfsufficiant in this tech.
GOOD LUCK

extencively tested for all kinds of terian. couple of months back I have seen some army personal inspecting the vehicles. its surely on offer.
wait for fwe more years & you will be surprised by the products offered by TATA MOTORS to the armed forcess.
Russians are indeed a few years late we have already placed our orders, PC7 for basic training, Sitar for intermediate training & Hawk for Advanced training.
i dont see any space for YA130 in Indian airforce training.
good to see SA acting in favour of India. we need to sternthen the ties & rope in more GULF countrie like UAE. we need them to expose the hideouts of the terrorists.
good going to the inteligance services of the country.
one question "HOW CAN CHINA ATTACK INDIA WITH A-SAT MISSILE??????????????"
well definately they can destroy Indian satellite that to the LEO satellites.
in contrast India can launch minisatellites with A5 in LEO. so i dont see a major issue.
