On a more philosophical note - I would ask people just to store the above paragraph in their memories. When India orders any hi-tech system from the west - everything looks good at the start.

Aeroindia + IJT + Baldev Singh = Jinxed :P Am glad you said that. On retracting, once the wheel touch the ground I would expect that the pilot can no longer "retract" the wheels. Isn't there some "Law" of that sorts in aviation techs? Some ground-law that the computer checks to ...

I can understand, how, in an emotional frenzy (26/11) we might feel that vast amounts of killing are going to solve the problem, but I don't get how sane people, especially those who consider themselves "strategists" could honestly suggest this. India itself is not wiping out people. Why ...

Let me put in my 2 cents: DRDO's strength would appear to be in the field of electronics - radars, sonars, EW, comms systems. On the other hand, in the automotive/armored vehicles segment, it is lacking in a major way. Leaving aside Project Arjun, DRDO has not been able to make a simple family of W...

Chetak, You might be right on most of the points you raised..But I do think that the question of building a domestic military industrial complex is pretty moot.
