i can guess 95% of its design, critical parts and weapons will be from Israel, France, Russia and other foreign countries like other make in bharat stuff, but nonetheless i appreciate this effort, even i being a Pakistani feel embarrassed when shupa powa boost about its power on basis of stuff she imported from tiny Israel.
it may not be 95% indigenous but atleast its 5%.. so cheers
Why not 148.3% ¿ You can "Think" that Indian Navy also imports people from the same places, paints them in desi brown, teaches them local languages and then deployed them on these vessels! Why stop there you can "Think" it is a wooden boat with plywood superstructure, towed by mermaids from below...! You can "Think" that crew on board (Desi coloured foreigners) makes make believe long range optics with their hands to scan the horizon for its targets. And when targets are found, First Mate makes "Pew... Pew... Pew" sounds over the imported PA system to simulate weapon launches. Also before I forget, those VLS contain half drunk imported Diet Coke and Mentos.
Proof kise chaiye... "Think" karke hi duniya jeet lenge...
we can execute military projects better then you keeping in mind Teja, Arjun, Nag and dozens of other failed projects, it solely depends on money after all which Pakistan dont have right now. but given the resources, what is difficult to build? cant we ask China to design a DDG for us, cant we ask France, Spain and italy for Radars, sonar and anti air missile? basically your every indigenous ship is amalgamation of imported stuff.
Not again. Ok now officially I am going to register the Biryani example as my trademark.
Mission: To attain bragging rights for your biryani making skills online.
Approach I:-
1. Open local food delivery app eg: FoodPanda,Zomato, Swiggy etc
2. Search for cheapest Biryani in town and order it. (As you are low on cash)
3. When order is received, serve it on a clean plate with nice presentation.
4. Click a decent picture and post it on Instagram.
Result: 100% success rate.
Tradeoff : Will not be able to enjoy biryani if the vendor dose not makes/delivers biryani as the actual recipe is unknown.
Approach II:-
1. Open local grocery delivery apps.
2. Order raw materials for biryani from the best possible vendors or cost effective vendors depending upon the raw material.
3. Once raw materials delivered, start cooking up biryani with your own recipes.
4. Once cooked, serve it on a clean plate with nice presentation.
5. Click a decent picture and post it on Instagram.
Result: < 100% success rate as perfecting recipes will take some trial n error.
Tradeoff : Initial investment is higher and initial results maybe unpalatable. But once the kinks are cleared you enjoy your awesome and unique style of biryani irrespective of external factors as long as raw materials are available.
I hope you do get my drift.
Now for the indigenous part. I hope you or someone in your family cook. Probably your Mom? And there would be one dish that you or your mom cooks, that is quite famous in your social group... Let's assume it is Biryani..
So do you practice animal husbandry to get your meat? Do you also maintain a rice and spice farm to harvest your basmati rice and spices? Do you also have a oil well to get your own cooking gas? I know by now you would be screaming NO in your mind a million times. These tasks are done by other people at different places who specialise in these tasks..
So dose it mean that the biryani made by combining all these raw materials is not unique? Is it not your intellectual property? The same materials are available to you people in your social circle as well, but still they name the end product as "Your" biryani. It is "Your" product.
Again I hope you get my drift. No one is stopping you from sourcing the raw materials from same vendors and build your own destroyers. Even if you have the raw materials you need the recipe to tie them together and that where the catch is...
India operates about 50 registered ship builders, whereas Pakistan just operates 2. There maybe countless small unregistered boat makers in both countries. Still the figures speak for themselves.
