Wrong comparison. Let's say there are 2 medicines , one imported injection which cures quickly but costs ₹ 3L for 5doses and a generic local antibiotic which also cures but takes more time. Which one will you go for first ? Only if the generic doesn't work you will go for the import. I rest my case.

And saying domestic don't work is plain wrong, they do work but not upto the gold std of import army whose requirements are filled from foreign brochures
You are doing the wrong comparison here. I've for a specific reason made it a life and death situation, whereas you have turned it into a life and life situation.

The local antibiotic, if its keeping you in ventilation instead of alive is not something to sought for. The equipment you are supplying to armed forces decide their life and death factor. So if you want to push a soldier to his death just to support indigenization effort, then there is nothing to discuss I believe.

EOI Checking Menus of different shops in food court in order to make your mind what you want to eat
RFP You want to eat Momo, but you want check what kind of different fillings, cooking style various shops use, you momo specific menu from specific shops.
Our procurement system is so deeply effed that one cannot even begin to fathom how we are able to make any acquisitions at all !
Just look at all the stupid steps -
Expression of interest (EOI)
RFP
AON
CDR
PDR
CCS
Contract signing
IOC
FOC

And to add to the above, endless trials in desert, mountains, jupiter, moon etc...etc...

Goddamn ! No wonder chinka is arming itself literally overnight compared to our snail's pace.
Its a matter of extreme shame that neither GoI, nor MoD babus nor gernails are interested in overhauling
this archaic and literally anti national system, which hobbles and straitjackets our armed forces, reducing us to begging for 10 here 25 there under emergency import category !

Personally I doubt the number
And IMO that amount will include not only the missiles whatever no they are but also the various support systems and the entire life cycle costs of the missiles and the associated systems.

Possibility also exists that part of the amount is for upgrading older brahmos and it's support system, no reason why they should not be upgraded to the latest standards for commonality and reduced cost of operation

Let's see
Yeah.

But few people here believe that order for Brahmos means only order for the missile.

As of now; no.
But they also know this and that's why plan to raise some 3,00,000 soldiers

This was there concern too regarding limited number of HIMARS round and that's when they slashed the order and went for local production of ChunMoo rounds
Ha ha ha ha ha!!!! Yeah right where are they gonna get the money to pay for the increased manpower? At this rate, they might as well ask for bailouts every 5 years.

Ya, you've already conveyed your concern
Poland would be lucky if it could get half of the items on the list. Poland will bankrupt itself quickly.
Anything new?
