True we Pawjeets are too entitled.I feel it's too easy for people like us to sit on a sofa, in an air-conditioned room, sipping evening tea far from all the chaos that goes into manufacturing even a small plastic part let alone a multi-million, advanced system and ask for termination of scientists who are forced to work on a shoestring budget.
And if we're really adamant on scrutinizing them then first we should try to answer few questions
1. What is the timeline of fund release and deliveries?
2. Was there an event that was beyond the control of DRDO? Like say a pandemic or the kind of issue HAL is facing with engines
3. How much is the end product costing us compared to something in the open market?
4. What level of technological experiences are we gaining from this project that can be rapidly implemented in future projects?
How many aircraft have we researched and made on our own? Tejas, hal 31, 26, hf 24, Saras?
Less than a dozen.
Go look at the list of aircraft produced by Russia, over 300 differnet types of aircraft produced since 1950s.
They have tried all different types of wings, shapes, purpose aircraft.
How can we hope to achieve parity with them when we aren't ready to shed some billions without strings attached?
Forum memberans itself would turn on Goemimt and Scientists if no tangible materiel comes out of research let alone the opposition and general "feeling e proud Indian army" janata.
A nation who says why do we need to invest in bullet trains will have no appreciation for non tangible scientific research.
It's not necessary that we may succeed in developing the final product we set out to build. As long as material research, electrical component research and production process is documented on paper or hard disk than it's not a failure.
Jeets need to embrace the idea or rapid prototyping and keep at it until you make it.
The central ethos of Hindu religion has been lost to us.
