#1 What a bizarre headline.

The test was not of the missile. India has thousands of Russian missiles like this.

What was being tested was weaponization of India's homegrown fighter

#2 This is the very first step of weapons integration. The multi-mode radar (being developed with Israeli assistance) is yet to be installed. A lot more firings will be performed.

The Russians refused to provide technical data on the R-73 interface and wanted the contract for the integration.

The Indians integrated the Russian missile into their fighter despite this.
