it is very difficult to find international partners,in a position of weakness. Even for this we have to prove our merit and become worthy of partnership at equal footing, else we would be dummy partners or just receiving partners. Today DRDO can proudly say that we have the technological prowess where, giants like Russia(BRAHMOS) or Isreal do not hesitate to work with us with quaal partnership. Infact we have 51% partnership stake in BRAHMOS. It is DRDO which has made us proud, inspite of spiralling attrition problems in the wake of software boom etc. and inspite of the meagre salary that Govt. pays to the poor dedicated scientists.
