It has been pushed back to 2017 :rolleyes: With regard to internal bays, that was a Force India article. No other publication has reported the same. Thus I would take that bit of news with a big bag of salt :disagree:

IN is using sea kings: Could be replaced by: 1) eh101: 2) MH-60 (pic is of UH-60)

Cryo Stage need not be necessary. Most modern ICBM's are solid propellant missiles if I am not mistaken. These include minuteman as well as Trident series!
