There are lot of promising underlying numbers but proof is in the pudding. TOI prime puts paywall, here is the earlier article from regular TOI...

Amidst the recently concluded “Defexpo 2022” in India, a significant yet under-reported development materialised regarding local Indian missile platforms and the Dassault Rafale aircraft. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed between BDL (Bharat Dynamics Limited) and Dassault on the...

Well for some reason Aslan (from the C S Lewis stories) popped up in my head earlier (and I already knew the name was taken from Turkish) and I just wondered what Tiger was. Also two of my best friends from Pakistan (one from school years and other from university) share the name cognate in...

In following video, there are many details he overlooks (I have an oil/gas energy friend who has given me deep insight over some time on the subject of USSR energy), but he covers many of the key elements of the earlier backdrop relevant to Germany, Europe and even the US. It is instrumental to...

Much of this applies to gaganyaan @Paro @Rajendra Chola et al

I have moved it to the dedicated BMD archive. The detailed ongoing discussion thread (which I hope you participate in): https://defencehub.live/threads/india-tests-ad-1-anti-ballistic-missile-as-part-of-bmd-phase-ii-program.15551/ will also be archived here eventually

One thing I've learned a long time ago is never believe any "memorandum of understanding" you see. Its to keep bureaucrats busy with some paper pushing at best by default. Its always best wait for cold hard proof of the goodies and use natural 20/20 hindsight vision for analysis afterwards...
