For this you should first get a firm grip on what the MTCR and its mechanism is!



MTCR is a 34 nation (signatories) export group pact, with China n Israel as (non signatory members) verbally pledging adherence to its EXPORTING guidelines.



In other words, its all about prohibition of exporting of banned material (benchmarks established) to other nations. But something which is homegrown even with the help of MTCR member under the GUISE of consultancy, then nothing doing.





In these cases a recipient country is not held responsible but a violator nation is.



And DRDO has already ground tested its hypersonic engine, so what gives ?

Hi Ankit-S, I know what MTCR is. Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but from what you've posted DRDO has ground tested it's hypersonic engine does not translate into DRDO has managed to develop a scramjet engine which will power a CM based on the BrahMos-II to 500-1000 km+ in about 5 years from today. I guess, DRDO needs to set up a technology cell and acquire as much Russian "consultancy" as possible and do so PRONTO! Without meaning to denigrate DRDO, we've seen plenty of DRDO projects which have shown "encouraging results" for decades, but which have never materialized into anything tangible!
