Saab, Adani to partner to build single-engine fighter jets in India: consultant

[Tshering22]

Infrastructure or even oil refining is a different group altogether. These kind of projects dont do or need R & D. These is a long term investment not like being a dealership for BMW but building the BMW itself.

These are turnkey projects not R&D programs.

Which companies in India have R&D, please tell me?

None. Nothing. Zero.

DRDO's research is a joke. They do nothing with the funds allocated to them and the funds are pittance. 5% of our Defence budget! That's $2.6 billion! Pittance.

That's why private firms must start somewhere and make the DPSUs redundant.

yeah similar to what HAL is doing. So wats the difference. old wine in new bottle ?

1- Faster production rate
2- Better timeline management.
3- Better employee accountability.
4- No moronic bureaucrats managing defence.
5- Private elements such as marketing to other friendly countries and gain foreign customers.
6- More autonomy to use the annual profits for further capacity development.

None of these elements exist in DPSUs.

How this fighter going to beat Teja?

Tejas is not able to meet production deadlines and IAF needs fighter jets faster than what HAL can produce.

Hence these are being considered.

With 13 Tejas in a year, we won't be getting anywhere with a 150-unit order.

1. They will do at lower cost.
2. Quality will be better.
3. They will follow a fixed TAT.

Why not produce more Teja instead, instead of producing, what has been once short listed by PAF?

In red flag your airforce prove to be most pathetic around the globe.
PAF surely is low on budget but they have always dominated the skies, in all wars.
Now why IAF follow PAF in its acquisitions is simply because of fact that IAF trust PAF more then them selves.
Fact will remain, when F-16 were banned Grippen was shortlisted by PAF after extensive evolutions, but due to limited budget it was decided to invest in Thunder.

Saab should start rebuilding their cars again, with those kick *** fighter jet interiors...cars for dignified and wealthy men who donot mind above average performance

 

[Jinn Baba]

Gripen is a better choice for India; but I have a feeling uncle sam will pressurise them into buying F16s.

In any case, the more India abandons Russia the better for us!

And as a bonus we get to see Indians doing thuka hua chata! And trying to justify purchase of a 1970s era plane after all their comments against PAF getting F16s.

SAAB Automobile was formed as a daughter company to SAAB in year 1990.
This was sold to General Motors in year 2000.
General Motors failed to invest, and later sold it to Spyker which went bankrupt.
The brand name was bought by NEVS but is currently unused.
