India is a world leader in making drones today.
No. 2 in drone manufacturing and probably only slightly behind China. Just like mobile phones. (Scroll to the bottom of this post for a note)

Btw, did you know a "Made in China" mobile phone has 80%+ of its components imported from outside China?
Yet, the Chinese never degrade and disparage themselves as "we only assemble, we don't manufacture, we are a failure."
Such self-degrading behavior is an Indian thing due to low self-esteem and easy programming by political and geopolitical propaganda.
