First N-submarine may be operational by 2012

" Not bad considering that media says DRDO produces crap."

If the savings were from small arms and ammunition then it is hardly the same as a brilliant org which develops new and exciting products.

6 billion dollars of small arms and ammunition???? Mate DRDO doesnot arm the whole world.

I KNOW this Key. I am saying that seeing as the armed forces have rejected LOTS of $hit from DRDO, that they were trying to force down the armed forces throat, whatever they have accepted is GOOD.

Yeah one of the major complaint from DRDO is that services accept foreign systems with multiple faults without a blink,while it's products are made to undergo delibrate trials until they meet 100% of the "ever changing requirements"

Hence reste assured that the service will make DRDO toil before they accept anything from them.

DRDO could not even make their own SAM and suddenly they announce that they have successfully made a 190 MW nuclear reactor for a nuclear submarine

I guess it is the scientists in thier morning shift, makes the SAM, and during their afternoon shift they go and make Nuclear Reactor for the submarine.

What is the correlation between a SAM system and a nuclear reactor for a submarine. Can you please enlighten us.

Seeing it will be believing in it. Till than its just a paper tiger.

What is interesting is India has a desire to be self reliant even if it comes to highly advanced tech. They might not have commissioned the Arjun or the ATV, but they are gaining a know-how which will one day make them save billions in defence tech.

Look at the Indian navy. Read the link below.

World-class warships at Indian prices

With 37 major warships being inducted over the next 5-7 years, the 500 designers in the DGND will have their hands full, saving India an estimated Rs 2,00,000 crore (US $50 billion) when compared with the cost of acquiring those 37 warships from the international market.

And who calls DRDO a failure. Look at what they have produced.

Dhruv- Advanced Light Helicopter - extensively inducted and used.
Prithvi - Operational
Agni I II Operational - III - up to 3500 Km - final testing stages.
Akash- Air Defence System - operational
Pinaka MBRL - inducted

Good work Talwar, well there is much more that DRDO have produced then above if you go throughly from their Websites.

Another thing is that you no need to justify wheather DRDO is failure or successful, rather those who call it as a failure often demonstrate that their failure in understanding and taking note of success of DRDO.

What DRDO is capable of, we have seen in 20 Years!

Offcourse you have seen in last 20 years as what DRDO is capable of, I don't think you need to assert this sentense as it is a Branded Tag from you of disregard.

 

[Proud to be Pakistani]

Regard for White Elephants like DRDO?

 

[JEFF]

Regard for White Elephants like DRDO?

Your disagreement would never gona cave in our faith and regard in DRDO?

By the way anyother fancy words for DRDO, since white elephant is quite out of fashion.

 

[Proud to be Pakistani]

Boondoggle

More precise for DRDO!

 

[TALWAR]

And the private sector is in now.
Hope people know what the Indian private sector is capable of!!

A behemoth in the making.
India may not become super power in the next 10 years, but would be a big regional player..and moderate world player.

BARC and Not DRDO who has built that nuke reactor
