@wartrophy_414 Yup pretty much moot... BMDs can easily be overwhelmed like we saw the state of the art ones getting countered in Israel... Not even going into more capable hypersonic threats like HCMs and HGVs..

@somnath1978 Yes short range SAM system Akash NG development started in 2016, ten years on and still under development and testing..
So 300-400km class SAM will be ready in less than 3 years for operational induction and low IQ chaps are planning to order S-400..
@_ChaubeyJi So you really think MOD/PMO will just give away IAF tens of billions of dollars and freedom to start aerospace R&D and manufacturing responsibility when IAF cannot even conduct a MMRCA competition freely? ๐
@_ChaubeyJi IAF batted for very long time, for MMRCA to be carried out in a fair and competitive way to bring best TOT and aerospace industrial experience for private players, for MOD it was just a gimmick with France or Russia jets already decided for them to take us for a ride 1/2
@_ChaubeyJi@GauravT71548031 Because unlike navy anything aircraft is very very expensive with just R&D costs reaching a bill amount of tens of billions of $.. And IAF is not given that kind of massive freedom and funding
INS Vikrant cost- $2.7 billion
Rafale R&D program for F4 standard $2.3 billion
@Dem0nknight119@therealp0litik The status of its stealth version development is still not clear and I don't think it will have the cutting edge sensors the F-35 block 4 has..
@AvisharDutta Industry partner L&T or a TASL can easily build it from blueprints..
It's R&D agency ADA who needs to complete the development, who incidentally are still struggling with the Tejas mk2 prototype..
@KesariDhwaj Yes govt will have to bring some bans and regulations on AI.. IT exports and outsourcing in all probability is done and dusted, but before worrying about robotics we need to worry about massive internal A-Z service sectors charted accountants, finance banking, architects etc..
@wartrophy_414 Even I used to keep saying private companies like TASL long back when DPSU socialists lost power, safe to say that MOD has decided against it.. Hell even rocket force is planned to be imported so no way they gonna let IAF make these big independent decisions..Usual black pill..
