With little real help coming their way, the Ukrainian people have bound together to stand up to the Russian empire, in a David versus Goliath-like fight. Though a poor citizenry, Ukrainians are finding a way to crowdfund for their troops, supplying them with desperately needed body armour, weapons, machinery – and, perhaps most importantly, drones.

A drone attack damaged an Israel-linked merchant ship off the coast of India on Saturday, causing a fire on board.
According to news agency ANI, the distressed vessel has around 20 Indian crew members who are all reported to be safe.
The attack occurred around 200 nautical miles southwest of Gujarat's Veraval.
The Indian Navy as well as the Indian Coast Guard vessels are moving towards the vessel, MV Chem Pluto, in the Arabian Sea.
A better one is an optical or radar reconnaissance satellite in geostationary orbit.sanman wrote: ↑24 Dec 2023 14:32 India has built a high-altitude drone capable of staying aloft for days, as a pseudo-satellite:

I think these pseudo satellite drones could be more flexibly deployed than sending up another Cartosat every time we want to do a new surgical strike.

Geostationary is far away, and thus smaller resolution. Good orbit for communications, but not for Earth observation.drnayar wrote: ↑24 Dec 2023 14:58A better one is an optical or radar reconnaissance satellite in geostationary orbit.sanman wrote: ↑24 Dec 2023 14:32 India has built a high-altitude drone capable of staying aloft for days, as a pseudo-satellite:

As per reliable govt sources, the #Rustom2 #R2 #TAPAS programme has been closed in Mission Mode as it fell short of the PSQR set by users. However, sources confirm that the govt has given the go-ahead for the development of this MALE UAV project under separate DRDO funds. ADE has been told to meet the main specs set by the users -- endurance of 24 hours and altitude of 30,000 feet. ADE must get back after achieving these two targets. Best wishes to Team R2 and hope they would bounce back soon.
Which existing drones? the imported ones?
What?
Yes, seems to hint at Israeli and MQ from Navy.

DRDO out of their way. There is a lot of money to be made in import , assembly and stickering without spending a dime on R&D. This sets a very wrong precedent and will open the floodgates for imports disguised as MakeInIndia. Very unfair to 100s of defence and space SMEs who are working their ass off trying to create complex products indigenously with own IP.

LRU1 bought by company A in India
Company B in India buys LRU1 and re-badged as "Made in India". Company B sells to OEM and goes into % indigenized part of whole system.
Terrible state of affairs not because of anything else but because NO Business is going to invest in R&D when such shortcuts are available.
But then again, one could also ask Indian companies why they arent roping in retired forces personnel for lobbying or playing the system against the import-pasand folk.
When you have a murder of crows in a tree, you just have to shoot one to ward of the rest. We need a few ex-forces lobbyist to be hung dry, ED unleashed, sleazy stuff exposed for the rest of the them to take cover.
Hoping a 2024 mandate helps in stiffening up the cojones.
Well to be honest, 'educated' or otherwise, most people simply don't know the circus of the public procurement system. I myself didn't until I became part of it. The other major problem is that people are simply unaware of the high cost of R&D. To get the benefit of R&D, the product has to be procured in large numbers otherwise its not financially feasible. We cannot throw a few pennies and then not induct anything and then expect world class results.
