Thank you for this. It gives me more encouragement regarding our domestic efforts. I have said before, nothing would make me happier than seeing us make most of our weapons.

Agree entirely. Read my comment again. Nowhere have I belittled the development required to make technologies like a jet engine. Complexity of developing a jet engine is used way too often as an excuse on how tough anything defense related is. Surely multiple technologies are less...

Lol. Decades of r and d with not much to show about. Give me a break. Having the human and natural resources of a country the size of India and we are importing even some of the most basic stuff. And apparently I shouldn't talk shit because their feelings would get hurt. All I am saying is...

I do agree that DRDO has had some success stories, but foreign interference can't surely account for all of its failures! DRDO has been stretched too thin and needs a systemic overhaul. Surely we can use resources available to the private sector to offload the responsibility to some extent...

Yeah... we don't have those on india in the private sector. neither will they pop up overnight. We got to work with what we have and major private firms are the only ones with the money out expertise to get started on this. The jet is already developed. They JVs aren't building one from...
