I do agree with Shaliesh, Its fair to motivate the HAL and other R&D organisations. But Its our hard earned money which we part every month as the tax goes into such things!! If you are a tax payer , then you would know about that. Have any one of you had a chance to look at the programe on Discovery Channel about these pvt R&D organisations in US which builds the fighter jets for US airforce.In the way of competition they come up with better technology. India inspite of these huge spendings in such org we are still to borrow or buy these jets from the advanced country. To prove this just look at the news with header "IAF to acquire 40 Sukhoi jets from Russia" in rediff only. There is no healthy competition nor any proper R&D work is been done. Its all a eye-wash.
