purchaseing arms has nothing to do with building one if it did i fail to understand what we are doing now the MOD is buying everything from tevors to a/c why? they could have built one my point is don't mix R&D with militery requirements R&D normally takes years of painful research and failures to perfect or develop let our forces be prepared delaying vital procurements will have dire concequences for the security of the nation i will give you another example the army wanted to purchase WLC in the early 1990s an american company was already finalised and all commercial and technical terms were finalised then at the last minute DRDO stepped in and convinced the MOD that inhouse development was possible and promised the army of delivery soon but it never came and soon kargil happened and many brave indian soldiers died which could have been prevented this is what i am arguing this is the reason why we are still not able to develop indegenious weapons lack of clear communication and transperency and not to mention beaurocracyIf we go on purchasing what is best , when will we learn to build one
