Or shall we give spin here, after testing the new system they found that the older bofors is a better system so rolling backNitesh Saar, the news is that the OFB has been given 18 months to use the ToT to come up with 6 prototypes.
I smell the same thingOr shall we give spin here, after testing the new system they found that the older bofors is a better system so rolling back
Either this is what is going to happen. Or DRDO will take 30 years for the development. Definitely something fishy hereOr shall we give spin here, after testing the new system they found that the older bofors is a better system so rolling back
Sir! The private companies have to invest heavily in the infrastructure to develop these guns. Than there's R&D, and pay to the workers. All this will require very high Capital.Side by side GoI shoud give this contract to make prototypes to private companies also .
Let both of them work , at the end pick which is the best one .
May be a consortium of Tata , L&T , Wipro , Mahindra . They can make it fast .
How this 30 year thingy came?Either this is what is going to happen. Or DRDO will take 30 years for the development. Definitely something fishy here
The pvt. Companies will roll out prototypes in 15 months while OFB will ask for extension after extension for at least 48 months and till that time there will be no comparative trials as the army will have to wait for OFB to deliver the prototype.Let OFB make their own gun from the drawing they have and let DRDO and private players make their own, after competition we should award contract for manufacture to winner (has to be domestic). Let they make it in fixed time frame.
HOW?????How this 30 year thingy came?
