Thus far we have been widely led to believe by all media how successful IGMPD was and how 'indigenous' is the way to go.
However Bharat Verma is hitting facts, and I doubt he would make tall claims w/o research on his side. If all he is saying is true then -
1. How come it took such a long time to figure out that IGMPD was deviating from its focus? 2. How come no one ever told us that some of these arsenal failed the Army during the Kargil war? 3. While I applaud whoever finally made the decision (Defence minister/ministry perhaps) to shelve the IGMPD.....how come the previous ministry/(ies) never checked this?
Indeed eye opening. These defence systems are crucial to winning any war.....you need to have advantage over your enemy in these systems.
