These Navy ppl knows that, "Capability can not be developed by buying foreign products."..
Unlike IAF (which is busy in bribe collection) Navy opted for Desi product over bribes...
- foreign LR MPAs
- foreign MR MPAs
- foreign amphibious MPAs
- foreign SSKs
- foreign LDP/LHD
- foreign tankers (although Indian ship yards already produce them too)
- foreign naval LUH (instead of Dhruv)
- foreign naval MUH (instead of IMRH)
- foreign naval MALE drone (instead of Rustom H)
The reality is, that the forces can only buy indigenously, if we can offer something that is technically at the same level, which is not the case in many fields today. The naval industry might be in a better stage as the aero industry, but still India is and will remain to be dependent on foreign procurements, to keep the defence at a high level.
