I don't know why some of us have such a low level of self confidence in ourselves? It's like saying "Humein apne mardangi pe shak hain". By and large I would say we have got a good deal but its dependent on how we play our cards now onwards. The IAEA agreement clearly says there will be a ...

Sumeet, Thank you for the timeline. This clearly shows our slow decision making process is to blame for us not joining the PAK-FA development earlier.

But should have seen some money trial, i think IAF backed out once they realized the missile is limited to just one platform and its more than likely that MRCA or even PAK-FA won't be able to carry it.

Correct me if I am wrong but I do recollect reading somewhere that India was funding/part funding the development of the KS-172? You are correct.

I'm sure the DDM author mixed up the Gorshkov and the Viraat. if the MiG-29 can land on the Gorshkov, the N-LCA should be able to do so as well. length of the runway for landing is more than adequate for a small sized N-LCA to land with arrested recovery. It does sound fishy. However, the AC needs ...
