From what closes friends have told me there are different versions of Astra; all named Astra with different features . At least 4 different indigenous seekers were tested . BVR 's are probably one if the toughest missiles to produce and perfect most BVR's have a 50 percent success rate. This is...

Any missiles/weapons you know of Indian made that use indigenous chips?

I am saying developing an industrial military infrastructure should be a priority. With essential parts like chips being imported we are not 100 percent indigenous (very few nations are). Chinese were forced to develop an industry from the ban against them. It has taken them about 20 or more...

Just glad this will be a indigenous missile and seeker even with imported chips.

Any electronic in Indian defense industry is imported. India has no indigenous semiconductor manufacturing/industry even for Indigenous weapons. Israel a much smaller nation does.

That will not be the final seeker. Much of the electronics in Russian seeker is American (semiconductors-texas instruments?) http://www.ti.com/general/docs/distributorinfo.tsp?countryCode=RU

This has been the delay in astra. India tested 4-6 seekers mostly foreign, the indigenous seeker always performed best. Indian govt always wanted indigenous seeker for astra.

More than give seekers have been tested for astra including French, russian and Israeli seekers . I don't think any other bvraam had this much testing ? After ten years it should be up to par?

Almost all bvr have a fifty percent success rate. It would not be guaranteed.
