We can only wish while kadi ninda and supreme leader have baithak after baithak with chai samosa on the house!
On a serious note, we need to throw unkil Sam a bone (defence deal) to keep him making favorable noises. There is already murmur in the state dept about a "responsible" solution and talking it out. Need to nip it in the bud.
it's the bureaucracy nd bobudom culture which is currently plaguing our defence preparedness.. multiple red taps nd lethargic approach is our worst enemy..
Govt has done few reforms while giving armed forces the provision for emergency procurement in the wake of contingencies.. heck we are surrounded by two nuclear armed adversaries.. where one uses terrorism as a extension of its army to bleed india..
But we act like all is fine while drinking atmanirbharta coolaid when our armed forces are fighting with vintage equipments while waiting for DPSUs to deliver in requisite timelines..
While our forces are fighting with substandard obsolete equipments..DPSUs babus are enjoying their 9-5 job while having multiple tea breaks.. to all those iddm gangs who cry on private industry doing screwdrivergiri lol.. just watch what our DPSUs like BEL & BDL are doing.. previously they were doing screwdrivergiri for russian maal now they are doing same for isreali maal.. without any innovation..
Atleast private players will learn nd innovate.. like we have witnessed in drone industry.. where we hv got more than 200+ startups who are now manufacturing niche technology in india..
For india to deter it's enemy from doing Pahalgam or Pulwama it has to build a deterrence where.. enemy won't even dare to repeat such shabby attack..
Nd deterrence is built by strength.. there's no deterrence by fighting a war instead deterrence comes when u subjugate the will of the enemy to take the fight to u..
Why do u think Paxtan did this attack? Coz it's know indian armed forces lack in many spheres.. it builts it's capabilities only to hv a go at india..
So we can't remain defenseless.. atmanirbharta koi ek din me nhi ho jayegi.. it will take decades.. we need to induct capabilities while we manufacture our own.. the babudom culture we hv in our DPSUs it will take series of reforms to make them efficient.
Nd i really hope private industry like ADANI et al who has now recently entered in defense space beat the shyt of these DPSUs in coming decades so that we don't hv to remain dependent on inept DPSUs
