I've heard of nuclear plants going critical. But have never heard of a critical nuclear technology? I think you are referring to fourth generation nuclear reactors.
And for the record, India leads the world on thorium energy research. Might not need uranium in the future.
Rafale is not to be used as an interceptor. Naked eye is never a good way to judge acceleration.
Interceptors are normally lesser advanced and cheaper fighters in the arsenal of an airforce. Possible to deploy in large numbers and expendable.
The reason why it will take 6 weeks to determine the lowest bidder.
The acquisitions manager read out in broad terms the financial terms offered by the two sides. As the executives took notes furiously, it dawned that the formulae for pricing the aircraft presented by each was so complicated...

Overcoming the adversarial mindset on the other side of the "wall" is never easy. It not only takes time, it often involves a leap of faith. The Jackson-Vanik Amendment of 1974 lives on eternally despite the "non-existence" of the USSR and its restrictions on Jewish emigration; its repeal is...

Admiral Gorshkov is known as the name of the aircraft carrier that India is acquiring from Russia.

I believe this comes against the backdrop of the Syria situation. India along with Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) visited Syria outside of the UNSC purview and within the UNSC blocked the NATO move along with China and Russia against intervention in Syria.
Given the latest anti-Iran rhetoric by...
