We still can't get into advanced paint jobs like how you guys paint some Chinese crap with some cheap Chinese paint which even the Chinese refuse to induct

Sorry to say but, seriously speaking, this post is a living example of the fact that assembling like a mechanic without understanding how to design or without any solid R&D will ensure that one always remain a mechanic. You can have 50 service centers of BMW in the country but you wont be able to design a single comparable car ever.... ever!

Being an Indian, I empathize with those who are trying to get the private sector involved in defence and absolutely detest the ludicrous babus of HAL. Same losers are in OFB manufacturing. Same are in pretty much all public sector undertakings.

As long as reservations in DPSUs and research sectors exist and with the quality of employees that these organizations hire, HAL going completely indigenous is nowhere in sight. There should be an entire restructuring of HAL and the OFBs/GCFs should be privatized which could pave way to any indigenous developments
