Never understood the Indian establishment. On one hand they haven't even spent 0.5 billion $ in our Gas Turbine Engine research program in the last 30 years, sabotaging the capabilities of our Aerospace Sector.

On the other hand spending 5 Billion $ in S400 & now 3 Billion $ in MQ9 on a wim. Both of which are failing in the Ukraine & Middle East front.

Any guesses on the unit cost of ATAGS. What is Indian Army going to pay for them. I know the unit cost of M777 gun is about $5 million each hence I am curious to know the unit cost of ATAGS gun.

Not sure if posted

Daily reminder that IA generals are criminals. 6 years ago ATAGS was showcased at R-Day parade and still not one unit is even ordered. This is space age stuff that needs decades of testing apparently

Do we really need to spend 3 Billion $ on MQ9 drones. Considering drones are so vulnerable in the battle field whether its surveillance intelligence or armed operations.

by that logic, we should stop fighting only. convert our armed forces to peace rallys and flower parades.

The drone did its job. It got shot down so that a manned intelligence aircraft with people inside did not. I would happily lose a drone everyday than face that nightmare.

Remember the atlantique incident, post Kargil? Picture that with P8Is or Embraers instead, and suddenly the 3 mil or whatever the fuck the value is doesnt really matter.

Warfare is expensive business. Get over it or surrender.
