Re: India's R&D in Defence DRDO, PSUs and Private Sector
I remember some members were so proud that supplying these spare part by HAL is no ordinary feat. now that HAL has lost even that prestige, I wonder what will be next.
just one word describes it - "PATHETIC", Govt. should seriously start a surgical disinvestment of HAL !

Tejas Mk1 will go through teething problems of production and maintenance while Tejas Mk2 is a pipe-dream.
Tejas learning curve has already reached it's maturing point, MK2 is CERTAINTY not just some pipe dream, only threat to that is IAF's changes in requirement.

with Indian economy going downwards, there will not be many import options available. IA has to choose them wisely
and priority should be given to ones which are not available domestically and can't be developed in at least 5 years.

if we don't invest in FGFA, what will be our options
1) invest ONLY in AMCA, its definitely gonna take 10 - 15 years or may be 20 years before FOC. Can we wait for that long when Chinese are fielding J 20?
2) buy F 35?
3) or acquire anti stealth technology?
