Jayadeva EP: We are working on TEDBF. That is the Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter aircraft which ADA is spearheading.

Abhijit Mitra: And what's the time frame for development?

Jayadeva EP: It could be around 5 to 6 years.

ICICI securities Conference call. Guess PSU have to answer the investors

If this is the approach of PSU than its really good. The investors get assured, us jingoes get assured. All you niggas make sure to invest in ICICI.

That was from June IIRC. Someone needs to ask the buffoons inside ADA on what the actual status of Mk2 is and insist they give actual timelines and not usual jingo of "soon", "next year" etc and why the timeline has gotten pushed back every few months.

But we don't have, army is reluctant to purchase as it has failed tests with stfe but atleast buy with Russian engine ones
But even they are not buying that

Army has already inducted the Nirbhay in limited nos.
Its the ITCM (Nirbhay+Manik engine) which is taking time.

I meant to say that let army induct Nirbhay with Russian engine in nos rather than waiting for stfe
That will increase capability manifold times

Why indigenous?
Our aspirations are simply too big and conflicting for it to rely on someone else's weapons and whims.

Ever thought how does IP flow in our nation, from Gov funded research to Private Firms, Private Firms giving their inputs to DRDO, Uni research proliferating into Commercial use etc.?

Wouldn't a national RFI website do wonders for the local Industries.
Two entities can share IP on agreement.

This actually a very weak link for us . Some prof in a PSU or college might come up with some innovation but nothing comes out of it as there is no next step .. hardly anyone will follow up to commercialise hence the researchers just keep pumping out papers with no actual work happening. Our pvt companies on the other hand will happily import already commercialised tech.from abroad.
Example being some research team may come up with an innovative battery cell but no investor will put money in to bring this to market.

 

[kharabela]

No expert here but that hanging back of dhanus mgs does not provide confidence regarding mechanical stability and strength . Or lets say it does not look good aesthetically for eye of a noob . If DRDO ATAGS mgs gets big number of order due to this , Its a good news .

probably because new tech will require more money for further research until it can be commercialised and even then nothing may come out of it . do we have that kinda money for R&D ?

there is also question of fakus , funniest story i seen is a kerala engineer developing a engine for bike that runs on water.

 

[Arjun Mk1A]

Few thoughts.

1. How reliable this news is?

This the crux of why nibbs with ambition to innovate go abroad.
Speaking of kerela engineers
I know for a fact that these nibbs were on the radar of Indian oil .. but nothing came out off to this.

If innovators don't get backing it will always be nothing.. like I said Indian oil were working with them it was a engine efficiency project . But it's not like any of our car companies were interested . Heck they could have made a decent genset .. but alas.
