Many Indian trolls in PDF try to defend the failures of PSUs like DRDO by claiming that DRDO is a very efficient organisation that makes world class weapons but it is the army who plays spoil sport by making cunning, last minute changes to create an unfair scenario for DRDO.
The typical blame put on the army is that they love "foreign maal" instead of giving boost to indigenous industry. What the trolls fail to understand is that the responsibility of army is national security not domestic economics. The army buys foreign stuff because foreign is better than Indian. DRDO can never make anything like T-90, SMERCH, Tavor, Bofors etc. The army has to rely on foreign suppliers because domestic suppliers either don't have the desired product or the ones they have are woefully obsolete. It was the foreign suppliers that came to India's rescue in Kargil war.
The second most common, and rather serious allegation, blame given is that DRDO does not pay bribes (kick-backs) and thus army loves foreign goods. This is saying that the Indian army top brass is so hopelessly corrupt that they are willing to risk national security for kick-backs. Of course only a fool would select INSAS over TAR-21 rifle but trolls don't work on logic.
The indication is that army is corrupt and cannot be trusted. This blame is not only very serious but also very foolish and outright stupid. If the army was so corrupt as to sell defense of the country for money then Pakistan would have sent infiltrators to kashmir with sackfuls of dollars or a bundle of signed blank checks of a secure swiss bank account. Within 24 hours kashmir would have fallen if the army was so corrupt. The Indian army would not be standing guard in the cold wastes of Siachen risking life and limb if they were so greedy for bribes and kick-backs like these DRDO trolls allege.
And the final nail against this bogus argument of kick-back is that such a scandal once cost a government their seat in power. Bofors scandal rocked the country and proved to be the last straw in Rajiv Gandhi's career. The Kargil coffin scam nearly cost BJP their seat and created deep fissures in the NDA sarkar.
If the army was jeopardizing national security by trying to sabotage indigenous defense manufacturing then it would have created a scandal that would have put the entire armed forces personnel to shame and the after shocks would have continued for decades.
Just look at the design of the weapons made by DRDO and compare them with weapons made in France, USA, Russia, Israel or even Turkey. DRDO weapons look like garage-workshop models and they work like that as well. The INSAS is a 5.56 mm rifle which weighs 4 kg empty, has only a 20 round magazine and lacks suppressing firepower. And trolls in the Indian group call INSAS a world-class rifle better than Tavor, M-4, etc.
The army will buy DRDO products when DRDO products meet world standard. Till then the army is doing India a great service buy buying effective foreign weapons which are battle-worthy and reliant.
