It's not up to the IAF to grow the pvt aerospace industry in India. They are merely customers, they want good quality and timely delivery.
It is up to the MoD and GoI to formulate polices that promote pvt sector investment in this arena.
IAF has not fought a war in the last 40 years. One thinks they would have utilised this time productively in trying to develop the Indian Aerospace Industry for their own selfish need.
But NO. Any ideas why ? ........have they been so busy defending our borders for the last 40 years ?
I guess we poor civilians have to do that in the hope that IF and WHEN there is war (which I have not seen in my lifetime), IAF will do a smashing job.
