I am not a NRI. I will lose my "inferiority" complex when I see Indian building something others are willing to buy. DRDO is getting encouragement for decades now. Another so called "resource constrained" organization will concentrate on one product and try to excel so that they can make money from it and then expand. DRDO builds everything. Hell, they build everything! And yet, India is spending more and more money on foreign equipments and this is not some phase thing.
If your are not an American NRI than why so much inferiority complex. I have seen all Indians with inferiority complex are America based NRIs.
DRDO getting encouragement but not money or resources.
japan do not sell any weapons does that equally mean their weapons are bad? Their soldiers does not bet their lives on those weapons? India never sold any weapons to any country I doubt in future we will.
Did you mean USAF or navy? yes, they do. It's called buying planes from other companies or not buy at all. They can wait because they are not the one footing the bill.
No I mean other countries those buy US weapons. See India rejected those weapons which are best selling else where what does it mean?
So how much money do you think Chinese spend on their weapons program? What about South Africa? Hell what about Morocco?
Chinese spend much much more than India. South Africa will take 1000 years to build a nuclear submarine or aircraft carrier or sending satellite to moon. Morocco? What they build?
Has India EVER built even a bullet that any other country would call a quality product?
May be not but most of the countries cannot build satellites, launch vehicles, tanks, ICBM, nuclear submarine, aircraft carrier, electronic warfare what to say more?
Wow. Our mighty military is happy with sub-standard products! Never mind the yearly import bills.
Our mighty military is never happy with sub-standard product, rejection of F-16 and F-18 is proof. They want best of the best. That is why yearly import bill. Forget bloody DRDO even US govt will not be capable to fill their requirements.
Same goes to Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, China all those major weapon buyers.
