After crimea they are under tremendous pressure
No amount of pressure will ever force them to relinquish critical technologies associated with hot section designing and fabrication, TBCs like YSZ (lab samples of which have already been fabricated in India) or other critical tech. There is only one nation is the world which was willing to part with critical engine tech, said nation has already been tapped out. No JV will help us.
Kaveri's de-linking from the Tejas project came too late as it is. I do not understand how the current article has provided any new information in any way. Neither the Mark-1 nor the Mark-2 will ever be operationally utilized with the Kaveri engine, even if the said engine achieves the required attributes by then. The contents of the article will be news only to those who've been living under a rock.
