Nice catch, i did saw the video the other day. I was curious about the PAF claim the Su-30MKIs carried Derby missiles (asked about this previously), and if this image is really from Sindoor it seems the MKI carried the standard russian AAMs. Which seems to corroborate with some articles claiming that the Derby integration was dropped.

India is selling 155mm artillery shells to NATO countries. Which then get sent to Ukraine. India have no right to even demand something like that from Russia.

India would have thrown Russia under the bus if Trump just demanded these things in private and praised "Indian power" in public. But Trump being Trump doesn't stoke India's ego and thus India has act tough in public.

The Indians are supposedly developing the Astra Mk 2 AAM. So why waste money on Derby?

They have i-derby for Tejas anyway.

Given emergency procurement of RVV-SD this may, I don't think things went smoothly with Astra, MKI and 29s. They clearly expected Astra to be available, and uncertainty is sufficient to order emergency substitute.

Which is troublesome - RVV-SD almost perfectly matches Astra in performance, and overall they're sort of sister missiles.
