It's new for me . So thanks for posting.

You are right. Development has been very slow . I guess they were starved of funding while Israeli kept selling heron. Anyway now it seems it's back on track.

Drones have been lower on our priority list perhaps. Both pork and chink are capable of shooting down drones. Our best case use is for surveillance that too mostly of Indian Ocean.

It is as important as mwf / LCA . Drones are the future and they are bloody costly. 10 heron tp cost us 400 million $$ that's 40 million each almost as much as LCA mk1a. If it doesn't succeed then we'd simple replace fighter import to drone import. It must succeed.

Don't think so. It's still in testing they maybe pushing flight envelope or using new algorithms. So many things could go wrong. It's good that they are testing thoroughly and aggressively. Crash is simply a learning curve .

No chances . that is the optimum design for Stealth drones. All of them will look similar just like all stealth fighter look similar. Sent from my C103 using Tapatalk

Exactly. That is what happens in india and China like giants. You can make money by selling simple things to millions of people and by that money you can buy high tech industries out right. Just the way tata gobbled up Jaguar and Land Rover. The point is that reliance saw the market firming...

India electronics import will cross oil in monetory value unless domestic capacity is established. It's some 300-400 billion $ Market opportunity. Tata ambani and others will be stupid if they don't make a run for it.

All these are correct. Yet the fact on ground is that south Korea has done it . Now south korea is much smaller economy then India it's GDP is some 1.5 trillion. If south Korea can find money and resources for chip making so can India. It will happen. It's the cycle of growth , currently an...

Yes we will. It's just that the development cycle from design to testing to weaponising to operationalize naturally takes over a decade. What we should priorities is make all survilance drones indegenious first building upon rustam and heron experience.

We are behind the curve by 10-15 years when it comes to uavs . Specially in combat UAV rustam 2 is our first shot. So for the next decade we will spend money on American and Israeli drones . Good thing is to focus on Israel because chances of tot and learning curve is much higher with Israel...

Somebody ought to rename this thread. It's screaming UCAV while what we have is a UAV:crying:
