Dumping ground?
by Rinku on Feb 28, 2008 09:43 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

My God, it seems that America, Britain, France and Russia has made India as dumping ground of its aging warheads. We have lost many of our AF pilots to Russian aged fighter planes, the gas was leaked in aged warship, which India bought recently. Now, what these IITs and IISc are doing? Can't they produce such scientist who can built warheads here? Are they just producing copy-cats? Dr. Kalam talked about self-sufficiency in arms production, is it the way doing so?

Its about time we all realised that. The soviets were the only ones dumping on us. Atleast now you can choose the filth.

OH BTW, DRDO does not exist anymore after wasting thousands and thousands of crores on scrap metal and sivakasi firecrackers

what will happen if our DRDO's scientists just come to office just for chai pani and personal discussions. If such is the situation then no amount of IITians will be of help. DRDO should be made accountable for each and every project and they should invent things which can be used in a war and not just for museum usage.
