You are comparing apple with orange. MALD is 926km range decoy and Astra is a A2A missile. What is the point to compare both?

Chambal Transport Plane will be used with Surface to Air missile to knock down enemies incoming Ballistic Missiles. Brahmos Air extended version is already there, 732 kms.

HAL/NAL Regional Transport Aircraft (RTA), a range of 1,350 nm (2,500 km), and require a take-off field length and landing field length of 900m (2,950 ft). The aircraft would have a length of 28.6m and a wing-span of 29.4m. The aircraft would have a service ceiling of 30,000 ft.

Do you understand what is a decoy in military terminology? So you are saying Brahmos is decoy. Decoy is used to jam enemy radar and A2/AD. Let me ask this question, does Indian Air Force has or used decoy? What is the make and model of decoy?

Rafale is going to be great assets for India for many years to come. Rafale is the most technologically advanced fighter jet of Indian Air Force. Good on India.

IAF flies India's first bio-jet fuel blended sortie

A team from the Aircraft Systems and Testing Establishment (ASTE), Indian Air Force's premier testing establishment, flew India's first military flight using blended bio-jet fuel on Russian-made An-32 transport aircraft here on Monday. The aircraft was flown by experimental test pilots and test engineers from ASTE. The project is a combined effort of IAF , Defence Research, and Development Organisation (DRDO), Directorate General Aeronautical Quality Assurance (DGAQA) and CSIR-Indian Institute of Petroleum.

The IAF carried out extensive engine tests of the sortie on the ground. This was followed by flight trials using 10 per cent bio-jet blended ATF. The fuel is made from Jatropha oil sourced from Chhattisgarh Biodiesel Development Authority (CBDA) and then processed at CSIR-IIP, Dehradun. In July, Air Chief Marshal BS Dhanoa had announced IAF's intention to promote biojet fuels. Addressing the CII-SIDM seminar on promoting indigenised technologies, the Air Chief Marshal had stated that IAF was keen to fly the AN-32 aircraft with 10 per cent bio-jet fuel in the Republic Day flypast on January 26 next year.
