just out of curiosity if the RLV was of the American space shuttle dimensions how would the iSRO transport it ?

weak engines can be replaced with better ones later, whats important is they have a full spectrum capable plane in production and flying .. now

kit

I don't see why not..the MKI already has sagem and Thales equipment..the Rafales avionics would be a natural progression.. alternately versions of Israeli equipment for their F35 comes to mind

The new MKI s could be a different variant.. incorporate elements of the Rafales avionics ..

Out of curiosity if the COMCASA enables the US to eavesdrop on Indian mil communications is the reverse also possible? ..( someone says yes ! .. just a little bit of work and the right gear! )

i suppose this is a way to assuage American "concerns" for the time being .. as also th clause to cancel it if required. So any American sanctions could potentially negate COMCASA as well . ?
