Any idea what's happening with Rustom 1.. Last time I heard about it was when it crashed in a Naxal area operation in Jagdalpur..
I haven't read anything of it after that crash, so not sure. But it's really crazy with whats happening with Rustom-2 aka Tapas. Looks like as if they are trying to emulate the manned fighter dev cycle and timeline. HAL would have been a better dev agency for Tapas I think.

This would be game changer for ops in carrier, something like this should be developed in tandem with TEDBF.
Yeah absolutelely! Its a great idea! An unmanned aerial refueller Drone Which would be Operated by the Indian Navy. Wonder what kind of Design it would be from my personal opinion.

If we can buy Fleet Replenishment Tankers from Turkey then why not Bayraktar Akinci drones?

Bro , that's highly unlikely to happen from my personal opinion, There is a difference between buying Fleet Replenishment tankers and drones, one can be used for offensive and the other cannot! Don't have much to say here.
