More horrible is the government who expects a kickback for everything. Please don't say DRDO is well funded, they have next to no funding in my opinion, since we can spend outlandishly on foriegn equipment like Bofors, and t-90 but never get the technology which was promised for it.
Further these people don't know any histroy, let us give example Falkland war British got the code to disable the antiship missile from the french, from the French because French side with British. Now this can be the case with all missile bought by foriegn depending on which side of the fence you sit your missiles can be rendered harmless.
DRDO is doing a great job, but these corrupt people in government want Kickback without which they feel unhappy and give all sorts of unfounded gali to DRDO
