    "got/getting tested" - Past vs present vs future. There is lot of reasons for navy to consider SH, from iac2 & 1, emals, aag, aew, p8, romeo, low cost munitions , tedbf, chinese navy etc and IN choose fa18f for training, if IN select sh. US don't support tejas as f/a18ef trainer, may be...

    MKI is a issue for IAF due to heavy class & two pilots. Tejas - ioc not so good, foc ok, still not good. rafale - too small in nos. Mirage 2000 is better than lca mk1 foc. Jaguar can do its job better with aesa/ew pod/asraam etc. mig 29 also there with astra, and .. Considering mki, iaf need mwf...

    Yes, IAF need to give some hope/chance to ADA and ADA needed to take best of it. IAF conducted all trial needed to understand its capability before choosing AH 64, CH 47 and C 17 and P8 used by IN, and GoI choose P8, M777 and C130, without any test or trial.

    yes, from articles range extension kit uses rocket motor. Hammer is not a glide bomb, means it need a boot to reach 70km, or it range similar to jdam.
