IMHO the deal has been passed in the parliament.
I have to find the exact source.
But India had 2 aircraft deal during putins visit.
1> MTA
2> 5th gen PAKFA.
We got go ahead on MTA, and declined the PAKFA as we asked for a developement from scratch "atleast 12 years".
so a 5th gen thing might happen next year on putins visit...as PAKFA is not really going to be any 5th gen thing.
This MTA's requirements has been EVALUATED by IAF and RuAF, then only it has been given go ahead.
what makes you guys think IAF didnt know bout the operational capabilities and HAL went ahead?
no way!
