Now this is the news and what is its impact on Indian aerospace professionals.
2 things clearly come out of this ... one that the joint venture is successful and Russia and India will look on to make more joint ventures like this, so learning Russian will be an advantage that I see here!
This development might trigger some other joint ventures that can be made as successful as this one and other countries might look for a partnership.
Everybody loves a customer and India is the most preferred aeronautical customer right now that no aerospace giants can afford to loose so enjoy!!!
