Just a muse here. If I remember correctly, the trainers are still Mk1 FOC standard. If the new order of 97 is also for replacement of Jaguars, then it would be nice if we can develop a Mk1a version of two-seaters optimised for ground attack. It's already a top performer for ground attack. What more...

How is Project Kusha different from LRSAM or anti-ballistic missile systems?

Media reports already include 21k crore price tag, so this must be an existing system or just a minor variation. Which is it?

Chetak ji, yes, there could be money coming through hawala channels. But, that money doesn't add to India's forex account and may be causing more harm than good.

If India is going to build just 3 aircraft carrier. Then the r&d expenses for no 3 indigenous aircraft carrier might not be worthwhile. As just 2 EMALS will not be enough to recuperate the R&D expenses. IAC3 will likely just be the first of a few with EMALS. And IN will need to support each...

Does it impact AMCA? No. Two different programs. I do not believe the Govt has the funds for 114 MRFA. It will be a truncated number in the MRFA contest. 74 MRFA + 26 MRCBF = 100 aircraft.
