I just love Indian enthusiasm to call everything indigenous like failed LCA, and Kaveri engines, now tvsram has announced pronto the slogan of indigenous product. But he conveniently forgotten what his colleague sudhir007 actually produced;
French wanted specific commitment. So the real work is done by the French, Indians are just tagging along as they did with the Russians for years.
I know, I know, it is indigenous, what is the input of French in scheme of things? Nope it is indigenous all right!!!!
But question remains, if Indians were so advanced why didnt they sort out the Kaveri problems themselves?
Considering Sudhir007 post also had this gem in it;
So why was Kaveri de-link from LCA? We all know about it, so I wouldnt waste my time on it. F-404IN was selected after rejection of Kaveri. Some optimism, you guys got.
And the best part is hidden in this paragraph.
We all know what happened to LCA project and how long it took this project to complete and still not fully inducted. What great news, same fate awaiting for AMCA.
