One of the reasons for Modi Government to choose CDS General Bipin Rawat, Air Chief Rakesh Bhadauria and Gen M M Naravane was that they support indigenisation. So one issue of DRDO that Defence forces don't support local technology has been removed. Requirements are not too fancy but realistic...

When do you think we can get good news on K10? Any progress updates?

Looking at the plethora of fighter planes we are building, how many GE engines we might order? Its good if they have a set up here from IAF and IN plane's operational point of view. We should put a clause that parts that are required throughout the life cycle of engines should be indigenous...

Also IAF has realized the advantage of having an indigenous platform. Recently IAF said that Tejas performance was best amongst IAF inventory in the war games.

I also feel the same MMRCA for both IAF and IN will be dead. I think BRD is just playing with DRDO and foreign vendors by saying MMRCA is a separate program and we need them.

Tejas program has taught us a lot. If OCRA also gets go ahead I would say we are making planes as easy as Kites.

Perhaps the confidence in growing amongst defence forces and government. May be MWF is also on track so we have this approval.

I feel with this we will have one more production line owned by private company. We should have one.
