Ok boys here's the good news & the bad news. The good news is that it's the newly coined term for bad news. Why ? Good question . Coz what's bad news now was termed worse news yesterday.
MII gets priority as the GoI will not be inclined for any controversial procurement. What does that mean ? Read on ...
You can kiss MRFA , Project 75(I) & all other competitive tender based procurement good bye for the duration of this government . This means the Predator & GE 414 TF deal goes thru if the US doesn't jam it from their end as this is a G2G contract.
This also may include ATHOS which is essential coz ATAGS isn't coming in numbers as the IA deems it overweight & the Bharat -52 isn't battle tested according to the same IA which means our artillery modernisation plan is in jeopardy which in turn puts our war preparations against China in jeopardy too.
It gets worse. Since the Modi government is not in the pink of health seat wise speaking , they'd be opening up their purse strings for more freebies. Which means they'd be opening up the draw strings of the armed forces to phuck them in terms of CAPEX.
I'd update more good & bad news as I recall further planned procurements.
Now let the breast beating commence in right earnest. At least a dozen pages ought to be filled by the day end .
Shuru ho jao....
