Most probably people like you.
Having faith in your capabilities is a quality you need to acquire. Ever tried making a paper aeroplane for the first time? In your case,I dont think so.keep on hitting your head against the wall, maybe you get enlightenment that way.
There's no one accountable for the progress? In any country, head will roll when projects are delayed with specific timeframe

Everything is positive buddy. Arjun and Akash have already been inducted and work on next versions already bearing fruits.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Nishant, which was on a test flight, crashlanded in an agricultural land at Chikkatumutagiri in Bangarpet taluk on Friday following technical problem. The UAV was scheduled to land at Defence Research and Development and Development (DRDO) premises at Muduwadi Hosahalli in Kolar taluk. The vehicle was launched at 11 am and was scheduled to return at 4 pm after flying over Hosur in Tamil Nadu. However, it developed problems around 2.45 and crashlanded with a loud sound. Wings were damaged in the accident. No one was injured in the accident.
On hearing the thud, a teacher and students in a nearby school rushed out and saw the damaged vehicle. In Bangalore, a DRDO spokesperson denied that the UAV had crashlanded. However, he confirmed that the UAV was the advanced version of Nishant.
Spokesperson Jayaprakash maintained that the wings of the UAV were slightly damaged when the aircraft landed on an uneven ground. "The area where the UAV landed was earmarked for emergency landings and it landed using a parachute. The villagers assumed it was a crash," he claimed.He also said that there was no significant damage and that the aircraft was going to be used again.

One comment I have on the LCA: Using 45% composite material is a daring and a risky decision. Given India's lack of industrial infrastructure, it has to rely on imported materials, thus quality control is a huge issue. Also, defects in conventional material is easily spotted. This is not the case with composite. Cracks in composite materials are very hard to spot visually. This much composite material exponentially increases the maintenance cost. The United States only started using large quantity of composite in the latest F-35. Though I have no percentage, I don't think it is 45%.

You missed the point completely dear.
As per the bold part, Please define real Indian first. let us first know what way your thinking goes, then on we can discuss who is a real Indian. Every INDIAN is a real Indian,there is no such thing as a fake Indian, though some fake Indians do exist in PDF. hope you are not one of them, coz AFAIK, we Indians are eternally positive beings.

As per the bold part, As far as India is concerned, Quality has never been an issue, its more apt an statment in case of China ( no offense buddy, i am just reflecting the popular opinion). And regarding India's lack of infrastructure, its true in most of the cases, esp in comparison to China, but in terms of C-composite tech. development, India is self reliant with a lot of big private companies like L&T having mastered the art of making high quality C-composites. And though a figure of 45% seems to be unbeleivable, but its exactly why LCA( though ages behind schedule) is hailed as one of the best in the world.
brother i am not proud on the success of india because india has more and more efficient to make all weapons which makes by the western country. i am concern only about if we are failure.
becoz 'nepolian bonapart' said:- if you are not success in any work means you didn't done work in right way.

I am not getting into the quality issue here. If you have never been to China's massive industrial compound you won't understand it.
On composite, first of all this is not some super cutting edge technology. Composite has been used for decades. However, the issue remains in its reliability. Not even the U.S can consistently make reliable composite.
Just using that much material doesn't make the LCA the best in the world. The truth is that the LCA is grossly overweight despite using so much compsite. In addition, the machines that make the composites are imported from France. I don't think India understands how composite materials work yet. This is one of the core reasons why the LCA is far from ready. The use of composite material is an overdose that hurts the LCA more than it helps.

Failure means you have at least tried. Buying from someone else may seem like a better option in short term, but in long term, those who choose their own way get success.
As someone has aptly said- every Failure means you have find another reason of what not to do if you wanna succeed. Perseverence is the mantra buddy, you gotta keep on trying untill you succeed. Failures are just milestones you need to cover in between.
No one has ever lost their sight by looking at the brighter side of things. I wish you a good foresight.
