Actually the same zeal is absent in India (very sad to say). We should have a national mission to make India self sufficient in various technologies come what may, (BUY if someone is ready to give, STEAL if no one is ready to share like china does). We succeeded with NUKES & MISSILES because it was denied and question of our survivability was at stake. The same zeal is absent in other weapon development. At least army should be import free for a start. Sadly we still import ammunition which is low hanging thing.Israelis pioneer the use of Drones in warfare and show it to the world how to win wars against all odds with limited resources. Then know how to improvise.
For ex when the world denied them heavy artillery to fight a war against Arabs they figure the the cheap alternative by themselves by developing a 160 mm Heavy mortar M 66.
They helped India during Kargil and now majority of our critical surveillance and other equipments on LoC are of Israeli origin helping us winning the attrition war against Pakis.
LORROS, ELM/ 2140 etc you name it .........
Congress govt destroyed MIC so it can keep on importing weapons and make money out of it, the BaBoons to got their share and everyone was happy. And all this is now coming to haunt us, with world becoming unpredictable by each passing day.
