Agree with you, Some where on this forum I came to know that, within a year Arjuna, MKII is available, it took less than 1/3 rd of time to design LCH, than ALH (dhruv).. First step is always difficult... But its necessary...
I have no reason to doubt that India will move much ahead in Aircraft manufacture sector (provided that We get DM like Anthony)....
i think IAF has to follow the philosophy of indian navy indigenization plan. we have to support our own aircraft. they may not be the best but in time our capabilities are bound to improve and given an opportunity we will also develop world class plane.
in my opinion had we not stopped indigenous development after marut (HF-24) we wd have developed our own 4.5 gen plane by now.
marut was a very good transonic plane. it failed because the rolly royce company did not give us right engine for that plane (international politics) . because of that the plane remain underpowered and was not in favour among top honchos of airforce.
