In the 90s during the development of LCA Tejas and they ask us to leave their premisis because of US sanctions against India.

They didn't allow our scientists to collect their drawing and documents. Then we are forced to start it from the scratch but now we are indipendent upto a level on that project.

Can anyone answer me this question : Where is the a2a refuelling probe? I have asked this question numerous times on numerous threads and numerous sites, after it was handed over to the IAF in the US at the LM plant in December I was told not to worry as some tech would be added on by the time it flew to India. Now it has arrived and the probe is nowhere to be seen. This is very worrying especially as it was clearly seen in the first pics of its first flight in the US:

Right from the start the a2a refuelling probe is clearly visible:

Could this have anything to do with India not signing CISMO? although I doubt it as this is primarily to do with communications equipment right??
