If they had tracked such things without the consent of the government then I call it breach of security as from launches only some info can be just guessed while core capabilities and sensitive tech used arent exposed.
Are you serious? India spends close to $50 billions (not defence budget) on research and development, makes even dedicated cities for civil & strategic assets and won't be tracked? It's so much to hide.
India is known for making a particle observatory with four times bigger than CERN. Do you know why it's "known"? because it can't be hidden.
Plus, a lot more international students/professors are here in India, its obvious.
For soft image, India usually publicizes a lot of test but even demonstrated weapons are only a fraction of it has. (You know, I just got details for Indian ASAT and EM gun projects after struggling for 7 years).
Whatever India develops, it is out in the public even before its development is complete.
No, something else is publicised to cover it up and look from your post we got successful.
So all these things U have mentioned majority if not all were already out in the public even that KAALI something thing is bragged about before its completion.
KALI is not weapon!
it's for research purpose, funny thing is that India continuously tested Aditya, Dazzler & CHESS etc. laser weapons in 2014, 15 & 16 continuously and people are still calling KALI a weapon.
This is one, I have a lot more.
Go out for details (available now) in public, if things go okay, India may be fourth Nation to have operational Directed Energy Weapons after USA, Russia and PRC.
If they didnt meet the requirements then howcome they were even inducted? And am sure U are being sarcastic when U pointed at "Non experienced hands".... My point was that most of these stuff U are talking about were made with foreign assistance one way or the other and now being claimed as Only yours.
It's not that much of foreign assistance as you are asserting, India scores 14th in WIPO, 11th in USPTO, among top 5 as of MTCR annex report I provided and has a big R&D budget. Nothing wrong in taking initiation from some other place if we are ready to carry out further research work ourselves. China did the same.
Even your ISRO was struggling with many issues and were deadlocked at one point in 80s but thanks to then USSR it came to help.
Which? Just asking, because all I know that initial vehicle support was provided by USSR, for rest, we have either been collaborating with Europe (and so is China, they got a lot of tech & expertise from there) or doing R&D (wasting our 10 precious years on a rocket
but really, fire is set on heart when it's done).
So plz do give some credit to those
Never denied!
who help U in development of these but yes I would admit it with open heart that India has absorbed all such TOT and tech quite well and making most from it.
I don't think so, we couldn't gain as much as we could.
Let me give you an example of semiconductor industry. When Semiconductor OEM's were moving to Asia Pacific, two countries (China & India) were trying to provide R&D facilities.
China already riding high on economic growth got TOT & manufacturing meanwhile India imposed with sanctions had to start own program.
China has now got manufacturing capability of 28 nm semiconductor chips meanwhile India had to struggle first to develop 320 nm, then, 180 nm and now 90 nm. Nowhere near required 10 nm advanced (
yes, China also doesn't "manufacture" smartphones instead assembles like India but a larger scale, no matter how much Chinese members brag and troll Indians about it , they also import chips from NE Asia or west when it comes to make something for daily life).
Don't wanna talk over rest of your post.
