Russian deputy PM set to discuss more nuclear, energy cooperation
The government’s “Make in India” programme and Russia’s “Eastern pivot” will meet as Russian Deputy Prime Minister Rogozin will discuss more cooperation on energy, the co-production of fighter aircraft and nuclear cooperation with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj and National Security Adviser Ajit Doval.

During the day-long visit on Wednesday, Mr. Rogozin will chair the 20th commission (IRIGC-TEC) along with Ms. Swaraj, as well as draw up the plan for “deliverables” for President Vladimir Putin’s visit to Delhi, expected in December for the annual India-Russia summit. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is expected at the end of November as well. “Each of these fields, from defence production to nuclear and space programmes, are fields India is looking to Russia for closer cooperation, and so Mr. Rogozin’s visit is important,” an official source told The Hindu.

It never was out, but the first batch of orders included single seat fighters only, to reduce the costs. Same reason why the F35 is build only as a single seater, but for India and most likely because of the export success of the Su 30, the twin seater will come at a later point.

so which will be inducted first in IAF Pak-FA or Rafale.

I like the thinking behind the PAK-FA/FGFA
it doesn't necessarily sacrifice one aspect of the plane to make it good at one thing like the F-35 <------stealth
