flying a fighter on land does not make it a Naval fighter. None of those 6 aircraft will fly from Carrier.

I will make another prediction, you will be long banned (and trolling in another avatar) when it flies off a carrier.

Well, depends on what you call an assembly line, the Italian and the (proposed) Japanese line will assemble kits made in the USA, if that´s the idea, it might be possible.

what about the turks ? weren’t they supposed to get a line or is that whole thing scrapped for political problems ?

too bad, I thought it ironic and funny that su-25 bombed a su-25 factory. reality is so mundane sometimes. 🙁

I thought DRDO has their own ABM system based on Prithva?

was just a fishing project??

India’s interest in arrow was in late 90’s, before the Indian BMD prgram was launched.

of course it’s not theory, it’s bull$hit ! 😀

you are claiming India doesn’t have the money for an airliner project while India is actually developing an airliner. 😉

do I hear noises about an ICBM next ? people might remember what I said earlier in this thread. 😉

it doesn’t have to be the K-8, any low end robust design would do.

even though I am hoping the rafale wins, spidey sense is telling me EADS has this in the bag.
