UP Police seems to be doing more for the induction of indigenous small arms than the Indian Army itself.

Really happy to see @sssdefence & @Viv_Krishnan getting the recognition they deserve. Building genuine indigenous capabilities with years of hard work.

This is what Make in India should look like, not screwdriver-giri which many Defence giants in india are doing unfortunately. 🇮🇳

Tired of seeing AMCA confined to renders. Hopefully, L&T, TASL & Bharat Forge meet the Oct 30 deadline for bid submission.

Any further delays could make the case strong for Su57 as a 5th-gen stopgap solution, Negatively impacting AMCA’s future.
