You can have the best team, but the army/navy/AF will change their specs every 2 yrs. DRDO will make a prototype in 2 yrs, which is already obsolete when armed forces review it. In 10 yo 20yrs they say it's critical and go for import and pocket bribes.
There is a big lobby to push for imports, i don't think even modi can make an impact there.
This is not a usual aircraft .
This is not a fighter .Nor a bomber .
But it may be like drone and also for survelliance .
Most probably for secret mission.
Like penetrating enemy air space without detected and return back .
Stealth itself is a relevant one .Specs are already futuristic
Speed is not a issue .Agencies like NTRO will use this .
Payload would be a precision guided one .
Lol this the most idiotic and lane excuse given by DRDO and other free loaders.
U can't defeat beurocracy so easily.
Two frontline organistations that under the PMO is DAE and ISRO.
Bureacracy us way under the PM of India
AFAIK both are very successful.
That is why I said this case is different .
Using best brains with small amount and spectacular result .
This is not even DRDO
