Don't take India too seriously. If you go by their past record, you wouldn't. As per their claims, by now they should have had a scram-jet driven missile and satellite launch vehicle. Heck, they don't even have a scram jet engine so far. Heck, they don't even have a jet engine so far. Their LCA fighter "jet", that was slated for completion more than 2 decades ago is still not part of the their military. It is being built with a jet engine supplied by GE and the avionics come from Dassault/France. The composites come with Russian help. They are trying to build the pilot seats and other upholstery on their own. Why do you think they bought so many Rafale's? Their missile programs are mostly a scam. Except for the joint India-Russian Brahmos cruise missiles, where India contributed the capital and Russia contributed the technology, rest is all hot air. In fact most indigenous missile development programs have been scraped. Now Indian government has made it mandatory to only provide funding for joint development programs such as the Brahmos. Their indigenous tanks don't work, their replacement efforts for the WW II Bofors gun has yielded nothing. You want to believe this story? It's just another of their scams, which they are notoriously good at.
