1000 kms when have they tested..!!!!!!

Nirbhay with the Russian engine was tested some 6 times with the NPO Saturn 36MT engine.
ITCM with the Manik turbofan engine has been tested twice. Also, the ITCM range is 1500km due to the higher efficiency of the turbofan engine compared to turbojet Russian engine.

Both dry kaveri and SC 200 will get delayed only due to lack of infrastructure facilities. We are paying for our neglect.

Why is Indian government only spending 2% of GDP on defence in such perilious situation ? They can put some additional cess or sales tax for defence for 5-10 years and spend at least 3% . That additional 1% will go completely towards R&D and weapon acquisition. Speed is crucial at this juncture, and we are still going about our old ways.

Rightly said public can give 1% cess for RnD.

I call bullshit on that. Doesn't make any sense at all. There has the be explicit requirement in enough numbers to warrant anything. Last time I checked, army has not put any wheeled apc/ifv requirement.
