India set to ban import of weapons that can be produced indigenously

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Tejas is 75% indigenous by numbers and 60% by value, not 70% imported. The link you were trying to post doesn't work, though economic times does open up. I have posted a working link from the same site.

If you have another link to show its 70% imported, post it.

Yes, joint venture , like Sukhoi mki 30.

[DESERT FIGHTER]

An audit by the CAG brought out that despite claims that only 35% of the fi ghter depends on foreign systems, the actual figure is closer to 70%.

Engine:

Effort to develop the Kaveri engine failed, forcing the purchase of GE 404 powerplants from the US.

Flight control system actuators:

Considerable development delay leads to purchase from foreign sources.

Multi-mode radar:

Joint HAL-LRDE project failed, Israeli company roped in.

Radome:

Initially developed by ASL, failed to meet standards, imported from the UK.

THE DEFICIENCIES

The Air Force and Comptroller and Auditor General identified the following glaring deficiencies in the fighter:

Lack of a trainer:

The LCA still does not have a certified trainer version to coach pilots.

Mission simulator:

The lack of a full-mission simulator for the aircraft also a hindrance to training.

Increased weight, reduced internal fuel capacity, front pilot protection system weakness, reduced speed key deficiencies.

Performance issues with the radar warning receiver and counter-measure systems.

Original sanction for project was Rs 560 crore that has been increased to Rs 10,397 crore.

THE LCA LEGACY

In the works since 1983, the LCA project is an example of how things went off target in Indian research and development.

1983-LCA project sanctioned to replace the MiG 21 fleet. Technical specifi cations framed in 1985.

1998-Was the target date for the induction with a total projected requirement for 220 fighters.

2001-The actual first flight of the aircraft took place, five years behind schedule.

2013-It took an agonising 12 years from first flight to an initial operational clearance in which the aircraft met basic parameters.

2014-The first LCA is inducted but is still not combat worthy. Several defi ciencies remain, besides incomplete weapons tests and integration.

2015-Government asks IAF to order 100 more of an improved version of the LCA. This in addition to an earlier order for 20.

WHAT THE IAF WANTS NOW

To be able to commit fully to an order for 100 more LCA fighters, the Air Force wants these four things to be in place at the earliest:

Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar to track incoming targets

Integration of a long range beyond-visual-range missile

Air-to-Air refuelling capability to enhance its range

Modern electronic warfare capability to enhance survivability of the aircraft

French design
Israeli radar
Brit radome
American engine and so on.

4 decades and still a 70+ % IMPORTED piece of shyt dissed even by indian nationalists .

As for su30 lol, again a piece of crap, whose own russian radar is jammed by israeli jammers and hence got shot down and now being touted as a phucking amraam dodger.

Just continue to purchase foreign weapons and rebrand them as indigenous and claim credit! This is India's way of getting the job done!

Not to forget stealing

Brahmos is stolen copy of CX-1

Aksah is stolen copy of HQ-16

Picking and chosing articles of choice . I have 10 links to prove otherwise, one of them which i already posted.

No one gives a Rats arse about what you Indians think about Thunders. Only thing that matters is that your Sukhois were busy dogging BVR launched by these thunder on 27th Feb. Couple that with facts that half of the ordinance that was launched in India was deployed on our thunders. Meanwhile you people are so embarrassed by Tejas that you dare not even deploy it on front lines.

So why quote his post?

Ok we are not contributed 1% on JF-17 project, now happy and your Tejas 1000% indigenous now shoo and get a hike

Not really. DRDO is good at artillery systems, rotary wing aircrafts, all naval platforms, missiles etc among major weapons systems but we're still importing some of em like the Ka-226 chopper deal despite successfully testing the LUH

This ban is to prevent future aircraft imports as well and focus on developing indigenous platforms

What will you Indians do when you know made in India products will fail?

Is there any exception for panic buying during war?

Will all future purchases going to be part of Indian panic buying?

Looks like Military officials and politicians are laughing their way to banks with tonnes of money made through panic buying deals.

According to the article, India still need to import rocket.....

That's the whole point, when we have the capability to produce decent missile systems in-house...we're still going for foreign ones. This is primarily due to MoD and IA/IAF's love for foreign maal and the kickbacks that come with

Indians are incapable of even reverse engineering.

The only thing Indians are capable of is to boast about their shiny toys bought at uber exorbitant prices.

Which panic buying deal are you referring to? The 33 Mig 29s and Sukhoi mkis? That has been in talks for the last 2 years. The loc situation merely fastened the procurement. The only panic buying i have seen yet is the Boeing Poseidon deal.

Indian government must do two things to help things along:

• Streamline defence procurement process -- either domestic or foreign -- by cutting bureaucratic red tape.
• Modernize India's defence industry by incorporating reforms, including privatization and FDI.

The government needs to go beyond rhetoric and take concrete steps to make self-sufficient. But this will take time to do and must be patient. In the interim, India will have no choice but to import weapons.
