Honestly, India has a base for missile development and production but ALL missiles of India get delayed like hell. India is JUST now inducting a medium range A2A missile. Such missiles are in service in China since 2000s, In USA and Russia since 90s.
Thats 20 years too late.
And lets not even...
India has a history of protests against any reforms that removes government control from business. In 90s when India signed GATT Duncle agreement (opening India's extremely controlled market to WTO), there were massive protests :
(this is from AP archive).
Needless to say, it didn't got too...
Well since the point is Pakistan avoided wasting money in wasteful Mars Mission or likewise (similar to JF-17 style) so that money must have helped Pakistan's common public immensely, right? Is that the reality?
If not then perhaps Space Tech or even Mars mission is not exactly a drag on public...
You "made" it? As in you folks did R&D on it? Last I checked all the actual development work happens in CAC and not PAC. At best it is as much as "We made it" as Su30 MKI is "India Made it".
Comeback when PAC develops flight control laws for it at least.
Anyways the thread is not on JF-17.
Where do we see "costly failure" new items? The OP post is more of a blog post.
Heck funny thing is this : even OP's post does not call it failure. Where did you come up with this idea btw?
Here is the deal, you will never be able to run a SpaceX in Pakistan till you have your own equivalent of NASA. Because there won't be enough experienced scientists working in the space tech in the first place for a business to captialize on. So go on :rofl: be China's second fiddle :lol...
You do know that SpaceX is built upon lots of innovation that NASA did back during the space race. Had there been no NASA there would have been no SpaceX. And yes, there were lots of space missions with no immediate benefits.
You know what americans hate a lot? Paying taxes. At all.
Or even Universal medical care like Canada? Why? The answer I get from lot of americans is "I do not want to pay for another stupid guys issues".
Americans hate to contribute any money anywhere as taxes.
Lemme ask one thing. Since Pakistan does not have a real space program anyways. I am sure Pakistan's infra will be much better than India, isnt it?
1. Dams? Naaah waiting for finances from China.
2. Ports? Naah waiting for finances from China.
3. Public Transport? Naah waiting for China to...
Oh?
India does not need space tech?

Indeed I have. And yes in space tech sometimes things don't work, its great that ISRO was able to salvage it for its another use.
BTW, its rich hearing it from someone who has admitted that Pakistan's own space agency does little space innovation. :rofl:
Oh? Do you know how much research done by NASA for space program and in space program has contributed on earth, do you?
Space is a field of engineering which is multi-disciplinary and forces engineers and scientists to improvise, sometimes on the fly, LITERALLY. Thats where a hell lot of...
