Re: Nirbhay: The most awaited cruise missile
Russia can sell the Cryogenic engines as long as it is used for civilian purposes. The dates have nothing to do with it, US has been demanding Russia to stop the sale since '89, but allowed GD to sell the engines to India. It is merely a business tactic. Once GDs turn was lost, ISRO turned to Ariane and then Glavkosmos. It is not surprising. Today, the US won't do anything if ISRO orders more Russian engines. The only hurdle for the deal was proliferation of advanced technology to a developing country. Now that is no longer the case because of our impecable record.
MTCR allows sale of rocket engines for civilian use.
Then it is funny why General Dynamics was the first to offer cryogenic engines in the first phase followed by ToT in the second phase, even after Agni I's launch. It is well documented.You missed the point.
Their was a compromise between US and Russia to sort out differences before Russia joining MTCR, US extended waiver till July Russia pledged to extend it till November of 1993. Russia roughly tried to fulfill her commitment in Indian Space research before signing the MTCR treaty. No commitment,no clause to supply cryogenic engine their after.
