No not impressed, but due to financial problems and stupidity of our politicians all programs of new MBT were deleted, hopefully Wolf program will end with success.Ha, a reengineered T-72 and we are supposed to be impressed. With all due respect, this is no great shakes by any means.
Go google for MSBS-5,56, Tytan or our own domestic BMS systems, yeah, we have our own developments in this field, some of them like MSBS-5,56 are much more advanced in their pure concept than other similiar programs over the world.Go google for F-INSAS or BMS or TACC3I or TCS or CIDSS. Many of these are in advanced stages of development. Your lot so far has not faced any sanctions, has been happily importing subsystems & been reconfiguring - but you have no idea of the scale of development in India.
Why do we need IRBMs?Where are Polands IRBMs or BMs or cruise missiles? Or for that matter its MEMS based sensor packages? Or its advanced metallurgy programs to make aviation turbines to nuclear reactors?
We have our own air defense program, or even several different concepts like purchase of Patriot PAC-2 or PAC-3 missiles or domestic system called Shield of Poland.Let me know when Poland even attempts anything like Program Air Defence - which BTW, is just one of 4 AD programs currently underway, apart from some five sensor development programs apart from the strategic level AESAs being developmed for this program.
I think You should educate before You accuse someone.
I think You don't understand the basic fact that not everyone need it's own domestic production line, and there is nothing wrong with this.You can keep believing this, but unfortunately, the tiny fact - Poland had to rely on hand me down Leopard 2A4s at cheap prices. We built our own stuff. Today, Arjun MK1, MK2 whatever have their own line in India and the MK2 is already in trials and stated intent already, is 384 units+. Wheres your Leopard line?
Why we should need nuclear submarines for christs sake?! Or destroyers?! Why we should need our own attack helicopters when we can buy good designs, prooven in combat from our own allies?Where are your nuclear submarines? Where are your own destroyers? Where are your own attack helicopters.
Please understand, not all countries need to do everything on their own.
Do we need ones?!Where are your civil aircraft or 5G aircraft plans?
Compare India experience to experience of Russia, or United States... who participated in more wars and have more experience. This is the difference.I didnt mean to be as obnoxious as your peer has been - but all the talk about "Indian inexperience" makes me laugh. You folks don't even seem to understand the scale of Indian industry and the dynamism that exists.
I think You really don't understand what OBRUM designed, it is not a light tank, or even infantry fighting vehicle, or armored personell carrier, Anders is UCP a Universal Combat Platform, one common hull for LT, IFV, APC, SPH, SPAAG, SPM, ARV, CMV, C2V, MLRS, MedV etc. etc. etc.Best of luck, way things are going, your MIC will require a market like India to survive. But what we need is not what you'll be able to provide. Obrum is looking towards BEML to make its light tank a success, in terms of an export market. Says it all really.
Currnetly OBRUM is working further on real prototype, goverment decided to further fund R&D program, besides this even Americans are interested in some design solutions used in Anders and they can use it in their new GCV.
So yeah, it says all, Anders have a potential on export markets.
