Reliance in talks with russians for making 6 Nuclear submarine according to news

Indian Company Wants Cooperation With Russia to Manufacture Nuclear Subs / Sputnik International

Yes. There is an urgent need that our giants enter into high tech defense stuff. It has multiple advantage.
1)It will improve their skill and R & D to a new level.
2) Decrease our dependence on others.
3) Huge savings in financial foreign exchange outflow.
4) Stratagic advantages.
to quote some of them.

That is alright but what Aviation/Defence industry lack is that their reluctance to reverse engineer Military Hardware.

Take J 11 for example

That is true but we have not adopted that way right from the beginning. Once you master all subsystem, it should not be very difficult to make final product or diversified. It is not bad to reverse engineer some stuffs to some extent. I agree with you.

I do wonder how some one claims to be In making of Lock heed martin and Boeing ,These are assembly plants (probably cheaper to run with cheap labor) than machines. No high tech R&D in India only fabrication .Nice effort any ways

And don't worry these big indian corporates are diversifying their business and they have financial muscle to be one of those in future.

Also sorry to burst your bubble TATA is nowhere near Boeing or LM

Yesterday, I watched an excellent program on CNBC on TATA aerostructures limited. It was an elaborated excellent programme. A chinese lady Anchor was giving the commentary. There was an interview of the CEO of the company. Highlight of the program was like this.

1) Till Date, About 140 aero structures of Planes and Choppers are supplied to various country and companies.
2) They have a tie up with Lockheed martin.
3) Company has won a R & D contract from DRDO for 3 missile guidance system in a competitive bid from Public sectors. One missile among the 3 is indo Israeli MR SAM. Other 2 are secrete.
4) Company has an order of 56 Dronier Aircraft from cost guard. Order may further increase.
5) Company has a capability to reverse engineer any aero structure.
6) Company manufactures Wings and other parts of bit passanger planes of Boing and Airbus.
7) Net year, a fully manufactured palne shall take off from company's runway.
8) There are some new facilities of Plane manufacturing is coming up.
9) Shortly, Company shall have a capability to manufacture 100 aero structure.
10) Soon company shall have the capability to make small and medium category planes in flyaway condition.
11) Chetak and chittah parts are produced here.
12) Company has an order book of 1BN USD.
13) JV with Sikorsky Aircraft Corp of US for their S 92 type chopper.
14) JV For pilatus for aircraft structure.


I Shall keep updating this as I remember new information.

They have that potential but it will take many decades for them to get to that point. Right now they are a glorified assembler, what they need to do is utilise their vast cash reserves and plough it into R&D and develop products of their own.


It is rather embarrassing to compare them to the world leaders like Boeing or LM, they can't even be compared to HAL right now.
