DRDO and PSU's

[BlackViking]

I don't know why people cry about Chinese items? That country is the f*cking factory of the world!! When they are the ones making everything, how can one not use there products? We, BC, have been wandering around with shit ton of components that we want Indian manufacturers to produce but ye BC immediate orders of large qty ke upar dekhte hi nahi hai. No one is bothered to take an extra step to introduce one new component, which may not have large market now but will have one in the near future. Koi future me invest nahi karna chahta hai yahan. And if innovators can't even use chinku items then you can very well say goodbye to whatever little progress you have been seeing in the MIC here.

Wait iaf wants to buy gbu39 for fking 3Biliions
They don't act like children they are bloody corrupt.
A indigeneous alternatives is almost ready and they want imported maal.
Had they invested 3 billion much before we would have been independent in a2g guided bombs weaponry much before.

Indigenous Bofors guns delivery to miss ’26 deadline

NEW DELHI: Going by the tardy delivery of the indigenously produced advanced Bofors gun Dhanush to the Indian Army, it will be difficult to meet the March 2026

That uav willl be available to India in 2028,
4 years ,
Counter uav system will be very advanced then ......
Not like aircrafts,where upgradation scope is very high

It's wiser to use cheap uavs ,in war zone , if lost you will have another to replace
Not those costlier shiny pieces , which can be downed ,, and comes without any ew system and counter measure s ....

gbu39

Is there any official source related to acquisition of GBU-39? I'm bit sceptical

> Currently Hellfire, GBU-12 Paveway II and GBU-38 JDAM is the standard loadout for Reaper. Other than these Stinger, Sidewinder and Brimstone are type certified. There was a contract to Boeing for integration of SDB in Reaper some years back, but as of today there hasn't been any test iirc. It's not like it would be difficult given the weight of SDB is well within Reapers capacity; 4x SDBs 129kg and BRU-61 for 147kg Vs 680kg on inboard pylons, but as of now I haven't seen one fielded.

> And if news articles are indeed accurate then we're getting GBU-39B/B, which is the laser guided variant. Indeed we have SAAW which is pretty much a SDB counterpart but as of today, it lacks a SAL variant.

There's a 50-50 chance that we're getting GBU-38s and somewhere, someone goofed it up with GBU-39. Or we're indeed getting GBU-39B/B.

> But whatever the case is, everything I said above, or you ranted become moot as no matter what we have, we can't integrate it unless we're allowed to by providing source codes.

cheap uavs

Suggest me one cheap UAV that can patrol the Indian Ocean Region with a SAR radar, few sonobuoys and a 500kg depth charge to continuously track a PLAN submarine for more than 24 hours and even engage it if need arises.
Just one

In that region , it's ok
Still tapas , is cheaper which can do it's half work ,way more cheaper

An indigenous platform would always be better than an imported one. Period
In short term it may be extremely substandard in terms of features or price but in a long term it'll always be better as one, you'd no uncertainty regarding its availability and second, you can modify it.

But the problem is, ultimately everyone's a buyer and you need good bling, features, gimmicks to compel a buyer to buy your product instead of others.
How many of us here would buy a Lava or MicroMax phone?

Arguing Tapas is cheaper and can do half its work, hence better, is like saying -

Horses are better than cars because they can do half its work, are cheaper (eats grass which is free ! not petrol) and hence we should switch to horses.

Isn't it ?

Exactly for what tapas was supposed to do it does better.
For ior we can have much more advance platform as the sam density is much much less and chances of its survival are way more there compared to even a paki front.
