One thing is clear, we have a lot of wish-lists, but are backward in technology by at least a decade...
Am left to wonder, what the DRDO can indegeniously achieve - if the article had highlighted that we could have enlightened ourselves... presently, it seems that the DRDO is a bunch of sophisticated group which outsources technology and performs as an assembling unit!!!
Thanks to our governance and irrational politics which are the root cause for such incompetence in our country...
We need to recognize and elevate education and knowledge as the prized possession - in all spheres... then the transformation would be miraculous...

DRDO/HAL and other govet defense behemoths must be split up and sold to the private sector.
Only the strategic missile division of drdo needs to be kept intact.
local defense industry must also be given a 15 yr tax holiday like how was given to software industry which later has pushed up indias economy.
drdo scientists if they are good will also wasily find high paying jobs in the private defense industry.
further private defense industry can also recruit scientists form abroad and develop all the technologies.
