DRDO and PSU's

[SlayingHell]

TATA must have also played their cards well, they are already supplying trucks to Morocco, so definitely they during their meetings might had brought WHAP capability, it's trust factor mainly that matters.

This is what happens when a MNC take charge, they don't have to run to shift files here and there unlike unfortunate PSUs, TATAs are literally one of the most important MNCs of India.

Most importantly the PSU babus don't have anything for them to perform beyond expectations. Its not like they will get a hike or something. Its not a bug but a feature. Whereas every single rupee brought in will be rewarded for a private company employee.

This ig then netra was better approach.
I would say now is the time for 360' idli on airbus. Today it is possible. But I don't understand then why did airforce first ask drdo to build a netra like platforms with a big nose mounted radar.
And a netra mk1 like on dorsal side.

But then now why this UN airmarshals want a 360' dome awacs. They already gave there requirements which were a platform like seen above ?

Anyways here are some avro idli pics.
It was better that they stopped this program and initiated netra but unfortunately genrols being un genrols they do nothing better. Did not order in enough. Cherry on top the firm was also blacklisted. Even then they could have procured second hand platforms to make netra.
Avro was very unstable the radome collapsed and caused the it crash in 1999. After this netra was initiated a bit late though.
The question is why do they want a 360' now why did they Ask drdo for a nose mounted + netra like platforms instead.

UN genrols always had requirement for completely imported 360 rotating radome
As the avro project got discontinued they got chance to import
But it wasn't cost sustainable that's why cheaper netra mk1 was made
And netra mk2 was obvious choice coz that's the only thing closer production and established supply chain that's why a good decision
Infact drdo continued the development of 360° rotating radome let's see if they integrate that on a platform

With AESA the radome doesn't have rotate anymore. Thats why big part of stability issue might've been become irrelevant now and we could see swift development and induction period. And for Netra 2, that's not going anywhere.
