Source please....
Sfdr will be a meteor equivalent missile
Does meteor has 300 km range .....
What means range ?
It may be the no escape zone range, the max range (ie in a near ballistical trajectory, but with quite no agility at the end) ....
In the case of Meteor, the max range (ie with low pk at the end) was rumored to be in the 300km area. True? Untrue?

So, Indian Navy Mig-29K is already integrated or will be integrated with Astra mk1.
Leave alone integration, not yet tested in Mig29K. It would take time for carrier based operation. For shore based facility, it would happen only after Mig-29UPG integration.

No.
50 LSP order was a fake news
200 was talks but finally, it is happening due to present standoff. 200 for IAF and 48 for Navy. but only God knows when they will be delivered
It was not. This decision of ordering 250+ came only post extensive trial of those 50 LSP. I mentioned it earlier too that order would come only after extensive flight and fire trial of the 50 LSPs.
BTW thos 50 LSP was not just for test from Su30.

Quick noob question here:

I see that the deal is 'cleared' by defence ministry. How many stages left before it actually gets signed?

I mean it generally passes through DAC, IAF, ministry, Russians, chaiwala, doodhwala etc etc.. I see 'cleared', 'approved', 'greenlighted' in news... Does anyone here has insight as to how many jumps left before it gets 'signed' ? :notsure:

Depends upon the size of the deal. If the deal runs into billions, like the Tejas, the deal further needs to be cleared by CCS. But for astra now only the deal needs to be signed by the manufacturer.

Eventually it would be. I am more interested in seeing it carrying out captive trial on Tejas.

Last week itself I told few ones from here privately that next week jingos would get some good news.
Ok ...the news that Tejas is doing taxi trial s with astra.................
