the point i'm trying to make, is YES there are going to be delays. We're on a learning curve. But there is VERY good work being done by our labs. Most of this isnt very flashy, and doesnt interest most people in the defence community, because frankly we cant understand it, and also research papers circulate within a very small community.
It took us a while to get started, and it'll be a while yet before we actually start seeing accretions. There are still weak points. The level of production, bureaucracy etc. But in any technological aspect, if you compare our new radars to the best in the world, they will not be found wanting. This isnt indigenisation for the sake of indigenisation. We never accepted that, nor will we.
This AESA for eg took a very short time to come up with. Of course. Fine tuning and ironing out the kinks and ruggedizing it will take a little while, but on the tech aspect its gonna be up there with any AN/APG out there.
we must engage private industries here.............reliance,tata anyone willing to invest
they can have a percentage of profit when it becomes operational
