Competition hardly ---- keep making money for chetoos sellers --- crook politician, beurocrates, military people yes --- if they won't real competition they would have made more PSU or state owned enterprise or reform existing one but he won't do it. --- he will give contact to his best billionaire looser pals.
How typically commie of you, that argument is an appeal to emotion fallacy.
But clearly, PSUs, bureaucrats & politicians were 100% shudh when they had a monopoly and there was clearly no corruption before 1991 and/or before private companies were allowed in to defence manufacturing.
As for competition, the best competition and the best defence products are coming from free market capitalist economies & not from Russian joint stock companies or Chinese state defence units.
Regardless, this is all talk, let's see what happens a decade down the line when the money hungry private wallas face off against the lazy, tax-chor public defence units.
We know, even with all their vices which side will trump the other.
