No, eventhough I'm an alleged hater of indigenous developments and Indian companies, there is nothing that I would like to see more than LCA finally getting ready and I have no doubt that if DRDO gets it's act together they can finish it. So I have no doubt that it can be done, just how much longer it takes and some more doubts on the MK2.
Ideally we should have at least 2 options, but the fact is, that most privat companies only are aiming on license productions and not on proper R&D and long term projects. So all we can do is, to keep inviting the privat companies for more commitment, while making our PSUs more effective and accountable for their work. Only then we will see improvements for the future, not by sidelining the one in favour for the other. It's just as with our prefered import partners! For years we went with Russians, because they offered us their best, while US and Europeans were hesitant to commit themselfs fully. Today things have changed, the US and Europeans are offering more, which gives us the chance to not give Russia monopoly at the Indian market, but to force them to more efficiency, better quality..., through competition.
One, thing I want to ask about procurement of LPH. A country which capable of designing and building a larger Aircraft Carrier, cant be able to design a more simple and lower tonnage LPH. Even why going Mistral or Juan Carlos.
The Naval Design Bureau can design IAC-1/2. But not LPH, what a crap is that? Even why buying a foreign design?
