BTW regarding engines for UAVs, IMO we can adapt KTM engines which Is owned by Bajaj Auto as they are lightweight and powerful too

Is F35 a distraction ? Deliberately created to cover 'Stryker Ghotala'

Tatas are addicted to cheap Chinese maal, be it electronic components, interiors, batteries or electric motors, and thats what gives Tata cars the reputation they’ve got lately.
Its all about margins for them. They have abandoned their diesel engines, never had a good petrol engine, and yet to enter into ev motors R&D.
Only saving grace is their old tata Zest/Bolt engine that now powers Nexon and good enough to not need costly DEF and Ad-Blue

The new Mahindra EVs are practically BYDs underneath with a Mahindra body on top.

What other options do you have?

Regarding Submarines, were we the world leader in submarine Manufacuring?

We could have after HDW. But ToT is scam run by netaaz, babooz and afsaars since independence

See how South Korea did it.

Just point of consoling ourselves. We are inept people in terms of defense equipment Manufactuing. Even best of our stuff is simply Jugaad clubbed with ToT.​

true but hdw and now scorpene is talent trained going to be drained. India simply should churn Arihant diesel electric copies if it has too to keep train chugging or atleast combine scorpene and Arihant learnings. I ma sad to say what one chinese member wrote about Russians working with HAL for Sukhoi assembly vs China and AIM 's uttering over Corps inability to absorb engine tech for more than decade tells us - malaise is not just in Armed forces but also the way the mandate has been to our defence PSU. Last Brave step taken by our OFB was to reverse engineer FN FL. And something happened which made our PSU loose risk taking ability and zeal to learn everything about what they build and enthu to go ahead to start creating inhouse without needing authorization from above replacements for parts which are being imported on the sly - so that next time you are4 blackmailed - you just show your thumb at them.

Well, you have two options, develop entirely on your own or steal the tech

But our geniuses are expecting goras to handover the tech

And I don't see any solution in near future. We will keep doing the same stuff in 2030s, 40s, 50s.​

South Korea did it!

We are not South Korea

We are INDIA ....


The moment imports are blocked & we sense existence level threat we will be in Top 5


No one sold us Ballistic Missiles....we sensed threat and developed Agni 1 and rest is history.....

Very few nation's have this ability




We should get things get gone one way or other like we did in SSBN case

: walchandnagar who are involved in development of submarine silos of our SSBN....ruskies allowed us to reverse engineer ?

The 110/120kn engine JV deal will be a similar repeat I fear. If we really want a JV, might try with Rolls Royce. Although I'm not confident on RR either. The Chinese way is the way to go, but Indians being Indians won't risk a massive investment without a guarantee of success. This "being smart" attitude is really working against us here. The AL-31FP engines have 2000 hours of MTBO, 500 hours for the thrust vectoring nozzles. Why are we going forward with the attitude that our first indigenous turbofan in service HAS to have 4000 hours of MTBO. Even if Kaveri has 2000 hours of MTBO at ideal thrust, use it and go forward from there. I bet the AL-31 has already been reverse engineered, use it and go forward from there. Make a drone big enough to use the Kaveri with the afterburner and validate it's reliability; and address issues from there.

Why do you think so ? And what do you mean by BYD underneath? Just because it is sourcing is cells from BYD ? Btw its electric motors are sourced from French company Valeo and seats from german OEM

Plus Our own shipyards are Govt sponsored MNREGA schemes which are totally incompetent for technologically absorption.
