" हे राम " :rofl:
1. I understand what you are saying in first post itself. That why I said its a stretch !!!!
2. Why a hub in India to export ????
If it doesn't has any hopes to sell it doesn't make a sense to establish a production facility here. Better have a production facility in a...
Thats a stretch .... Even if IA get more sophisticated ARs in future need of AKs will never be over. Price tag of AK will make it ideal for our paramilitary forces and police forces.
And thats why Kalashnikov is setting up production line to qualify in "Make in India" norms.
where it goes :rofl: do you read what I quoted it for !!!!! Still
You are just proving my point !!!! Even after the sucess in aerospace for decades even they mess up with the project for any reasons and you want TATA a new player to do what they cant !!!! Really man ?????
that was an example...
F-35 !!!! Do I have to say more !!!
how he can speed up production not R&D results. Look at china. They are still trying to make Engine.
Private player run after money !!!! If I own HAL I will sell hot cakes and wait for R&D to show results to invest in venture. Thats how it happen in Private...
China has money, work power and few designs. Still they are struggling to make their own engine !!!! They will succeed but it will take time. Money and work power speed up the process NOT the results. No matter who do it
Off-course you are right.
Say TATA is HAL's owner. But tell me can TATA speedup R&D ???? That will be NO cause its a time consuming process.
But now TATA has his money in HAL he wants the return. Will he continue the projects like LCA ???? He will scrap them and use the production-line to...
Privatisation sounds great but is it really that great ??????
Why wash down a whole company when simple management related decisions can make it efficient ????
AFAIK there is a cabinet Committee on reforms on PSUs. It will take care of it.
They have two projects. And why NOT ???
It perfectly aline with their regional goal. Keep India occupy with Pak while they deal with other things.
China has huge production base & money so making & leading 30/40 J-31 planes to Pak isnt big deal for them.
PS export version is always a...
IAF isnt the only party to blamed here. Lets say IAF listened to you decided to have 100 MK-1s. What do you think how much time will HAL take to make them. The best known production rate by HAL ( AFAIK ) for MKI is 16 after 8/9 years !!!!! So say at avg rate 10 it will need 10 years !!!!! So why...
Yes correct. But what if the local industry isnt upto the minimum mark ???
Remember even if China has 1000s of cellphone companies Apple sale has the one of the biggest share in your market !!!!
Buying or locally manufacturing product give the local players a basic idea of know how. Other...
Simple point is China will have 5th Gen fighter around 2018/20 and so will Pakistan around same time frame.
So IAF dont want to be in possition where its main two adversaries have a generation lead for 5 to 6 years. They want that gap to be shorten. Just pressure tactics.
So what are options...
