All these rants are meaningless. Not even 1 critical project has been derailed due to finance. The leases, license manufacturing etc have never been done in areas where India was fully capable of indigenous production. All these noise about funds, delays are just fake news. India in last few years even had excess funds refunded back to finance ministry. Rafales, Apaches etc would never have been ordered had India had a dearth of funds.full thread
The reason for not giving orders have always been technological like lack of technology, developing/early stage tech etc. Even submarines are not being made as India did not get all the data from France. Several data for testing, controls etc are critical to ensure that the submarines works as intended and not having that delays things. No defence company has shut shop due to lack of orders. Indian govt knows the risk of giving arbitrary orders for short term in terms of the need to continue long term manpower and expertise. So, orders are distributed and slowed down to ensure continuity is maintained.
Making a big fuss of non existent problems is simply becoming a fashion amongst black pillers. The reality is that we don't know what the reform is about as it is fully secretive. There is no reason to say it is wrong merely because there is opposition. Govt has flagged that DRDO is taking up too many non essential projects which is reducing its efficiency implying that there is likely efforts to cut that down. It is possible that govt wants to restrict DRDO from indulging in non critical project like astronomy, medical devices, theoretical studies, university level researches etc and focus strictly on defence application oriented R&D.
