These comments have been made in view of the LCA, Kaveri and LR-SAM project - LCA and Kaveri are okay but what the problem with LR-SAM? The LR-SAM project is progressing well with the preliminary tests flights already successful.The vertical launch units of the LR-SAM, have already been built into INS Kolkata and the MF-STAR [multifunction surveillance and threat alert radar] is in place for missile guidance - all we need to do is take delivery of the missile from DRDO, load it and fire it early next year.
