This thing is very costly.I guess that is the reason why only 10 have been ordered.They are gonna be used in extreemely despirate situations only.
5 are enough for wasting in wargame-exercises to save Indian pride in world community. The rest will be locked down and keys will remain in Washington.

Arya putra why are u so pessimistic???.Dude its not like our country is gettin doomed or somthing.Dont get emotional.
Because some intelligent people said in 1967 - "Why we need to invest in home-grown fighter-aircraft(LCA,MCA) programme? We can import faster from Russia. Lets close HAL's wasteful aircraft R&D division which is demanding funds for new CFD division which I think is useless." And, so they did.
The rest is history.
Same intelligent people say today - "why waste funds on modifying Lakshya and newer sensors which are costly, when we can import faster from Israel?"
And, the story continues.
a good news indeed but we have to do our own R&D too...
I see you have a point...But let me ask you some important questions....
a) Look at the history of DRDO projects and the kind of delays that were/are plagued with....Now not for a second i am doubting the capabilities of DRDO, In fact i am a big fan of it(Produced some awesome weapons)..However can you or I ignore the delays???
b) What should an army do when there are delays??? Shall it keep on waiting or shall it go to foreign market to fulfill its needs???
