I understand that the army wants the best but when you realize that even the best from around the world can't keep up with your requirement then I believe it is high time you reconsider your requirement and see if they are feasible.
If it is dead then India should buy out the prototypes since it is pretty far in development cycle and can get us much more help rather than working in the dark.
Lol And why do you think India is buying all the equipment from US and other countries they have already planned this out the entire thing has been going on for years now they are simply acting on it.
New units that re being raised are specialized units for mountain warfare they will mostly...
Not really, since they will be simply substituted in my new recruits in the old units, it is better to have already trained soldiers in a specialized units rather than new recruit. The army already does yearly recruit and gets enough recruits to support their expansion.

It would be helping if it were free, since when is it acceptable for a customer to not complain about cost overruns. Russians were not doing us a favor here they got paid for the work. And also there are a handfull of countries that operate ACC, and only one or two at most, they can barely...
You also realize the only reason it is climbing is because it is our first carrier, every project overshoots its target there is a learning curve involved to properly quoting a project when you have no back data from similar project to learn from. Even then it is around 3 billion, and a new one...
