SA,

1. How many of these projects are actually operational or in service??

I think that's pretty basic stuff that you can learn from Wikipedia. Please do pay the site a visit.

2. Arent they more look like russian designs??

Please be more specific. Which one looks like which russian design?

Since it is going to fly at the end of the year these is real scale downed one.

 

[echo 1]

India has been a busy bee. It is working on a lot of projects and they have been coming along well by the looks of things.

Su 30 (??)

Looks Mig-35 to me...

Please be more specific. Which one looks like which russian design?

Cruise Missile
BrahMos and Oniks CM have typical Russian appearance, with folded delta wings in the middle and "mig-21" type air intake.

And as for PAK-FA project is concerned, Sukhoi Corporation is the head of the project while India is just a paying customer like Turkey, Netherlands, Italy, Canada, Australia, and Norway are funding F-35 program with cash, UK being exceptional with BAE little contribution to F-35.
Indians are just over glorifying god knows what contribution on the Advanced Tactical Frontline Fighter "ATFF" where as they have not been able to put a decent 4th generation fighter in the inventory yet even after 20 years of development with the help of over 4 different countries.
