how may such guns are there in our possession?

and once overhauled,are they only given to BSF oralso the indian army?

how long will they last,aren't these very old already?

 

[Shuturmurg]

Rustom1 could have been easily our Byaratkat TB2, just develop some micro and mini low weight pgms for it but salivating over mq9.

That's why you need married PM.
If our PM's damaad (son-in-law) was CEO of UCAV company, we would have UCAV's by now.

To those who don't know, the company that manufactures those drones is run by Erdogan's son-in-law.

If we can get good weapons then so be it. Agli baar modi ji ki baaraat. Don't worry though Pakis will induct bayratkar, akinci and j31, then our forces will ultimately try to panic buy so the field can be levelley. I have paki and chinks to thank for that.

Sorry bro u won't get that happiness
Our armed forces won't buy if they acquire systems our armed forces buy when they are beaten badly or in middle of the conflict
Bit harsh but true

Turkish scenario:-
Bayraktar mini UAV developed and Inducted by Turkish armed forces.
Bayraktar TB 2 was developed and Inducted.
Bayraktar Akinci is being developed and will be inducted.

Indian Scenario:-
Rustom 1 developed and rejected.
Rustom H developed and rejected
Now Tapas ( advance version of H ) is giving first semester exams with Zero Commitment from Armed forces.

UN Armed forces:- DRDO haven't developed anything parallel to even Turkey.

Because most of the drones i.e rustom 1 purchased from drdo were crashed .Turkey is able to do it because it has private company bayraktar who started with screwgiri tb2 was mere assembly and turkey has no quota system like India.

Drone Rustom-2 crashes in Chitradurga, no injuries reported

How come even Iran is able to make UCAV's and we are not !!

 

[arnabmit]

Have you guys seen this news before? It's from 2014. This is the first time i am seeing this. My god, what a grade A twats our guys are, huh? https://www.indiatoday.in/india/sto...sile-south-korean-port-drdo-203226-2014-08-07

DRDO clarified that it was just a mock-up, hence was waiting in the port for commercial shipping back to India.

Can't we also buy bayraktar , just asking
We must buy that thing if turushaks sell us.

If we order big enough quantity, they might even sell us.

They took tot from south African denel most of Irqn drones are clones of denel corp and Iran has great universities and thanks to oil they invest a lot in military research and reverse engineering due to sanctions the best of Iranian graduates are made to stay and thanks to their nationalism and religious fundo brainwashing they prefer to stay in Iran for fullfiling their ideology unlike Indians who are being brainwashed by sikularism and globalization and thanks to brown sepoy syndrome west offer Indians great paycheck and higher authority like making them ceos,coos etc due to which India is facing brain drain ,our drdo is full of such brown sepoy who want to settle in Canada and America recently a scientist aka nit Calicut student who was awarded for innovation at brahmos lab was trying to get a job at Canada by providing brahmos documents to isi and was caught.
Here is one report Iran and denel dynamics deal it is laughable that denel is bringing tot from Israel and selling it to Iran so that it can bomb gulf states and theybwill run to usa to buy new weapons and usa will give military aid to Israel as commision to run mic.

Iran’s drones are clones. Now they’re being used in multiple conflicts.

Iran’s military drone program has grown in recent years and Iran-backed groups have increasingly used drones in conflicts.

Iran doesn't have quota system in science and tech faculties.

300 drones. Turushaks will agree
But alas our army won't agree to buy that turkish delight, inko amrika ki chatni hai na bhai

True, those individuals in armed forces and babus will make deals with usa must be rewarded like admission to ivy leagues for his/her kids after retirement posting in American military industrial complexes as consultant on 6 figure salary being in good books of cia which will make foreign travel easy no issue of visa while going to Europe and nato countries.

The story is not so straightforward, my friend.

DRDO's drone journey started in the 1980s, when the development of DRDO Nishant, DRDO Rustom, and DRDO Lakshya started.
DRDO Nishant development was completed by 1995 and was inducted into the army as early as 1999. Satisfied by it, Army ordered 12 more UAVs However, it was consistently plagued by issues and snags, and even with DRDO continuously improving it, all (4) of them crashed, and the program was officially canceled.

Meanwhile, DRDO Lakshya gained success and was ordered for target practice. Its successor DRDO Abhyas has also been successful and being used.

Whereas, DRDO Rustom's development kept on going for the next 29 years, only to take the first flight in 2009. Meanwhile, it still remains in the hangers of DRDO without orders, more than 40 years have passed. Although it has kept on crashing occasionally, here and there.

Regarding Tapas (Rustom-2), everyone knows as it is currently in testing and being improved, and hopefully, it will be inducted by 2025 (I am being very hopeful here).

=========================================================

So yeah, you can argue Army is the devil here, they sabotaged Nishant program, and the lack of interest by armed forces has slowed/halted the UAV development. But maybe, maybe it is the lethargic fat-bellied, samosa-snacking DRDO uncles with zero motivation and work ethics who has failed to deliver a solid product that forces can rely on, hence by default, armed forces developed a trust issue with DRDO products.

The only salvation story for the Indian homegrown drone industry is some private sectors with deep pockets, like TATA and Mahindra, jumping into the game and pushing their own MALE/HALE drones.
Small startups who develop light drones, lack technical knowledge and funds to develop a MALE/HALE drone.

I thought that the big industrial houses would have jumped at this opportunity, but they seem to be not interested at all.
