LOLZ, the integration of the R-73 took 18 Month, and DERBY or Python took few days or in short it was already mated.
Integration is more of the software, and with the MMR and BVR missile both Israeli, now issue of the source code for the Israeli technicians to mate, and the firing of the training BVR Missile, does it prove anything, which is already proved -- Only thing is that you need a tick in the paper, which is needed for the FOC certification.

Baki Lage Raho Bhaiyo.

It's Ballistic non guided mode,

Full integration with radar gets confirmed only with radar guided mode ?

Is this just a blind shooting to check the flight paramaters ?

Tejas fires Derby missile in Jamnagar - Oneindia

According to sources associated with the project, the LSP-7 from Tejas flightline fired the missile in Jamnagar as part of its scheduled weapon trials. These weapon trials are part of the Final Operational Clearance (FOC) mandate. Sources confirmed to OneIndia that LSP-7 fired the BVRAAM Derby missile on a BNG (Ballistic Non Guided) mode. It was the 169th flight of LSP-7 and was piloted by Group Capt Rangachari of National Flight Test Centre. Tejas is also scheduled to fire a Close Combat Missile (CCM) Python-5 missile as part of the FOC trails. The LSP-7 along with LSP-4 were part of Indian flying assets at the just-concluded Bahrain International Air Show (BIAS-2016) As reported earlier, the current trials are aimed at validating the accuracy of the missile. Apart from Python and Derby, Tejas has in weapon menu Russian-made CCM R-73, laser-guided bombs (LGB) Griffin and Paveway and Russian-made gun Gsh-23. "It's a great achievement. We are awaiting the test results. The next schedule will be decided based on our analysis. We are awaiting the data," an official attached to the weapon trials programme said.
