Both PRC and UK were slaves of US in mid of cold war. In fact, UK back then was more independent and capable than China.

China was a pet of USA upto late 1990s like UK is today. From semiconductors to China's shipbuilding industry to Aviation to economic succes, US and EU played a great role. Fall of Soviet Union eliminated the requirement of China against USSR and now China has become ambitious to take over...

Ah! Ro Khanna, the same twat as always.:pound:

Well, we didn't need foreign assistance if we needed cold section alone. We need tech for hot section and there is no point if "collaboration" ends up with making cold section and importing hot section again. That's zero progress.

They won't give us that much leverage in any case unless they have made up their mind to make their company collapse, lose a large engine market and create a new competitor to themselves in long term. Even observing for "knowhow" and figuring it out is not easy and "knowhy" is impossible without...

Even that would be fine if manufacturing of engine can take place entirely in India.

This is not discord unfortunately. This is a XenForo platform and we have to go ahead with what we have.

The key line refers to Russian version of ToT which only acts as a looting machine and neutralises agreement by citing dumb clauses when cash has been received.

Far from it. India's ToT were largely from Israel and France while most of Russian ones always ended up with just assembly despite promise of ToT for partnership in project. There are a tonnes to list up including in Su30 MKI. As T-50 too was going to follow same legacy, Indian government pulled...

Share of manufactured goods in exports increased from 11% to 20%. Overtook softwares as India's biggest exports. Because world's second largest phone & steel manufacturer after PRC. Skilled labour from 6% to 21%. Method of calculation changed to cover. Moreover, if you think someone...

History strongly disagrees with you. Giving liberty to people trying to create wealth has always brought good for entire population. More than half of even them are useless and should be suspended. Equality of opportunity depends upon what you inherit. Living generations plan it for their...

Dumping of this socialism has brought whatever little good India today has. Sucking the nation & government salary for producing nothing and having lavish lifestyles is an essential characteristic of sarkari babus, not anti-socialists. Time will let you know what happens. Socialism and forced...

Things aren't that simple. It's about the damn material not design. Casting, heat treatment and preparation of material is what takes decades despite R&D. India isn't asking someone for this technology on a platter but offering money for it (and the countries who want more than money have a...

It can block as well. Companies won't have any problem if they are paid with a nice lump of money. Money & not begging bowl.

IITs have become hauwa actually. Not that it isn't a good college but doesn't mean that there aren't any other good colleges with top quality education in India.

You don't need to be an IITian to understand these things. Most people on this forum aren't from IITs, they have a strong grip on understanding of defence/aerospace/civil technology as well as economics, history and politics.

We need single crystal nickel based superalloys to survive continoual and repeated thrust of aero engine. Right now, thermal creep & hot corrosion are what make our engine deficient of thrust.

All good but ISRO's relative status among space agencies & strengths and shortingcomings are same as that of DRDO. Case is different that "quality" there ends upto "it puts satellite in orbit" and over that very few countries have space programs. Aero engines are much more difficult than...
