The basic thing when you make a tank is the engine, without an engine are bullocks supposed to drag the tank? DRDO thinks designing a tank is the same like designing an automobile. No answers are available and speaking the truth is not being abusive it is letting you know kid that you don't have a clue on what you talking about.
Please take a look at the requirements established by the IA in the first QSR. Then you want additional armour, then you want additional active countermeasures. If you first ask for a Maruti car, you will get one with a 800 cc engine. If you wanted the Esteem, you need to put it in the requirments that you wanted the an Esteem. Later you want an ac. Is this too difficult to understand? They said, the tank does not work. When it surpassed the T-90, it shut them up. Now the fear is if MkII works, its the end of foreign maal. These chaps need to be kicked and asked to provide a proper requirement. And then the IA should be asked to accept a gradual evolution through upgrades in tranches. This is how armies globally function. Not one fine day, wake up and ask for a laser gun, because, they showed it in a movie.
Arty gun fail, fighter jets fail, rifle fail, tank fail. What good is DRDO?
Arty gun, I have already explained at-least 3 times to you. There was a GoI ban on any development on the guns. DRDO comes under the MoD. Do you understand this? Fighter jets, yes it was a major failure to take up engine development. Had the engine not been put up under the Tejas project, the LCA would have flown. Rifle, they have produced one rifle. They are developing further. Why else is it standard issue for India? Are you aware that the INSAS is almost a 20 year old thing? Its not something new. Do you know how the M-16 was developed? Tank...changing requirements. Please do not make me repeat again and again.
You keep talking about private sector. Are you aware that Indian Pvt companies entering defence are actually using DRDO technologies. No Indian Private company today has the expertise to develop defence technologies. Not even TATA SED.
They still cannot. Brahmos needed Russia to supply the source codes. Without foreign assistance DRDO is as good as non-existent.
Is it DRDO's fault that the JV which was oked by the forces and MoD did not ask for source codes? Please check on what was DRDO's role in the JV. Mission parameters are defined as per requirements and the end user here are the Indian armed forces. Why did they not explicity ask the MoD to not proceed with BrahMos if the source code was not provided? Is that also DRDO's fault?
You talk so much about private industry. Reliance has tied up with DA for the Rafale. Do you think Rafale is going to come with the threat library built for Spectra? Or is going to come with complete ToT? No. The one should drop the Rafale. You know who will need to make that? DRDO and IAF. Reliance will simply say it does not have expertise, which in reality they do not have.
You are only repeating the same trash again and again. What has DRDO been able to build so far?
They have built nothing. Happy? Who do you think has built the entire IMGDP missile arsenal? How exactly do you think soldiers survive in Siachen. Bomb explosive units. Ever heard of them? Do you think Pinaka is simply a Russian copy? Are you aware of what warheads are? Are you aware that the IA uses EW and 3ci systems which are developed by DRDO? Are you aware the DRDO has its own range of supercomputers which are exclusively used by it and the forces for very interesting things?These are just a few?
It is beyond the skill of DRDO. For raincoats also DRDO will beg for ToT. Those lazy scumbags can't build anything of their own so they beg transfer of technology for everything. Did they learn science in college or did they practise how to beg for transfer of technology?
Please read above comments.
The army will get better rain coats by importing rather than depending on useless DRDO.
I am sure they will. Knowing the way planning and procurements function in the IA.
This is your last reply because you have run out of lies and have no facts to speak.
Nag was a failure from the start. A missile needs to do two things - locate a target and destroy the target. DRDO boasted nag is a futuristic missile which has a milimetric wave seeker. Problem is nobody in DRDO knew how that thing works.
Are you serious? First you want an anti tank missile. Once its ready you want it mounted on a vehicle. Then you change requirements of vehicle. Then one day you say, it should be launched like a man portable, then you say it needs to be fired by your choppers. Seriously, this is how you defined requirements? The IA till date has no idea how to plan purchases. Also, this further shows you do not know how an anti tank missile works. The target is not located by the missile. Its located by the chap who fires it. Information is then fed in to the missile just before firing. While on course, it can be course correct. Either via a link or via radio signal. And do you know what the mmw seeker does? And I can only laugh when you say, DRDO does now know what it is. What do you think is on the Prahaar and they have been testing on the Astra? Doppler?
Army is satisfied with Javelin missiles and Russian missiles. Are those missiles build by aliens or humans? The army has no faith in DRDO and rightly so. DRDO is another government rozgar yojna for those worthless scientists who are so uneducated that they won't get a job anywhere so they join DRDO.
Of course, the Javelin is something we currently cannot develop. It is unarguably the best out there. As for Nag not being manportable again, IA's fault. Not giving proper QSR. When you give a requirement, you need to plan for the next 5 to 10 years. Not create a wish list after watching Star Wars.
Answer just one thing. Why does the Army not put its neck out and work with the DRDO like the Navy does and what the IAF is slowly doing? They will not. Because, they have the biggest allocations and these need to be spend on foreign maal.
