For usually snotty IAF , Astra BVR missile has to be real stuff for an IAF chief to come in public and demand it's early and across platforms who are already using latest russian BVRs. So congratulation to the DRDO scientist who managed to satisfy hard to impress IAF brass.We need to be able to use the indigenous Astra missile on the Su30s and across other fighter aircraft like the MiG-29 for better performance of air power," he said.
India is trying to achieve self sufficiency in weapons since 1947 but still importing, I am happy at their failureFor usually snotty IAF , Astra BVR missile has to be real stuff for an IAF chief to come in public and demand it's early and across platforms who are already using latest russian BVRs.

Well, yes that's expected, but you are also depressed at India's access to global weapon market. Astra missile must be very good for IAF lobbying for it instead of some imported maal they often crave for.India is trying to achieve self sufficiency in weapons since 1947 but still importing, I am happy at their failure
India's global access and huge economy only means that India is at risk of importing, importing and importing. India has had 5 decades to be self-sufficient and look where it stands: still heavily importing and heavily dependant on foreign hardware. Just take an example of India's Tejas fighter plane. It's still in limbo whereas PAF's JF-17 project with China started much later than India's Tejas and already JF-17 is combat proven/combat veteran fighter plane, which PAF will eventually have in the region of 250. Pakistan now enjoys access to some of China's most unique and unknown weapons which - like it or not - the IAF quietly fears. China is actively working on even better hardware which we will soon see enter service.Well, yes that's expected, but you are also depressed at India's access to global weapon market.

India already has started indigenisation process for planes with MWF already in prototype stage. It will be a fully indigenous plane similar to Gripen E but slightly bigger. India also is indigenising radars and will have indigenous radar by 2022. India is already having BVRAAM indigenously made. It will be by 2025 that India will have ready indigenous solution in almost all technologyFinally some indian talking sense. Unlike their keyboard warrior here. But it will take maybe Indian at least a decade to do that. So PAF has a 10 years breathing space.
Indigenous is one thing. To reach world standard is another thing.India already has started indigenisation process for planes with MWF already in prototype stage.

What do you mean by world standard? India is not some rag tag country without technology. When India makes anything indigenous, it will already be in world standard. India would rather take more time than to make substandard equipmentsIndigenous is one thing. To reach world standard is another thing.
Don’t believe what IAF Chief says. They are definitely preparing to level the score. This time it won’t be possible for us to jam their radars and communication systems which played a vital role in getting desired results. Don’t underestimate IAF. They have full support of Israel and US.
