Thanks!. Yes. I read that too.
Not approving yet is not the same as denying. Quantum of ToT would be part of the negotiations which have not started yet. So there is no question of approving or denying yet.
I think F/A-18 is very much probable for the Indian Navy as RAFALE needs to be...
The real ‘show stopper’ for the entire MRCBF requirement, however, is the configuration of IAC-1. Unlike Vikramaditya, and like most contemporary carriers, the aircraft lifts on IAC-1 are positioned on the starboard edge of the deck allowing longer aircraft to ‘hang out’ over the water with only...
