I hope you guys buy our EF, our economy needs a boost and that can only come from trade and etc especially with the war in Afghanistan and Iraq which has completely f'ed our economy(mind my language).
why to buy these expensive BVRAAM , each costing more them $3ml , when Astra would be ready by the time first MMRCA arrive...

METEOR is sure to come..Python-5 is better suited to us than AIM-9x sidewinder..
So, a combo of METEOR,DERBY,Python-5 and ASTRA (in future) will be the AAM arsenal we will be looking at..While ELRAAM will be russian origin..
Not to forget that we will have MICA IR and EM also, personaly I hoped for Python V for LCA, or the upgraded fighter, but so far it looks like we don't go for them. Derby is not really needed when we have R77, Astra, MICA EM and can go to METEOR, or AIM 120. MICA IR is really an interesting missile imo, because it is the only IR missile that can be used at BVR ranges.
A possible missile combo for Indian Rafales could be MICA IR + ASTRA + METEOR, which would be a deadly combo in BVR.
I also think we should combine the Maitri SAM co-development, with an SR AAM development, MICA VL is also based on MICA IR, just like Spyder SAM is based on Python V missiles. We just would go the other way around.
Thats an interesting idea..We can and should do that. But I doubt we will go for it..
Regarding Derby:: I was advocating this beause of commonality ..We already are using this in Harriers..BTW i had detailed discussion on this with an israelli guy on this and even he does not know what is its range..
