Im one of those unfortunate ones that saw everything!!!:(:(:cry::cry:
My friend woke me up, he sounded like a bomb just blew up in NYC, and he asked to turn the TV on. I asked him which channel to which he replied "any ucking channel, just turn it on quickly"
I turned my TV on and saw world...
We are not that far off. 1st test of C-25 was done back in Dec 2014 where they tested crew module.
It is on track to launch another test flight in Dec 2016.

US tech always comes with many strings attached.
Somebody please remind them French Scenma has offered 1 billion Euros for co-development of kaveri.

We have a very Nationalist Govt, Modi n Parrikar are not the kind that will keep quiet. Shit has hit the fan, expect repercussions. We'll know in a couple of days.
Either way, this drama not going to end well, IMO.
It's only EIGHT jets, purchase of either jet isn't really a big deal as one is making it out to be.
Funny thing is, Indian and Pakistani media is jumping up n down hyping up their respective jets, only to see a 3rd contender knock them both out.
