F*ck yes we are so back.

Side Note : The Universal Ejector Launcher clearly visible and in action
 
Astra BVR missile has Cooperative Engagement Capabilities and IAF used it in this networked mode

This is a major capability. A non-emitting LCA at BVR firing ranges would incredibly difficult to find (Yes, LCA is not a stealth aircraft. But it is small, with completely hidden compressor face and a large percentage of composite.
It's difficult to detect, atleast in comparison to our Russian jets)

Now Imagine Su30 with the upcoming Virupaksha radar which would be one of the most powerful AESA radar on any fighter platform, that too on a swashplate guiding this Astra Mk 1 fired by LCA.
