All of IAF advance money paid to Russia is cutting loss on a bad dream, and close the books.

IAF better wake up & smell some coffee. Cut some flab, channel it to create a design office lead by technical officers only (no flying pilot) and go make a weapon it can trust and afford. AMCA.

This flex nozzles in all stages bit seems to suggest (just extrapolating) a K4 type 3d maneuvering trajectory to defeat Chinese ABMs. Flex nozzle based booting phase manuvering could somewhat help mask spacebased sensors by reducing their accuracy of estimated azimuth and elevation. That is first k...
