LOL....... read this....."Already, the DRDO-Hindustan Aeronautics Limited combine that is developing the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft, has asked global aerospace majors for help in developing key systems -- the engine, flight controls and aircraft radar amongst them -- which are delaying the entire LCA programme."
If they want help for engine, flight controls & Radar system...what else is left there to be "Developed"....Pilot seats and tyres??

No need to design pilot seat covers & other junk as it is available all over the place. When you read latest in the DRDO dirctry which means 40 years old...

This all because of the Busget allocation thay have got which is insufficient. But once they will approach our so renowned leader will get their commission in it.

Actually there is more to it...suppose you go to the market today and ask for say the material for the missiles...no one is going to give you any information....everyone will commit to supply you the items but finally nobody will supply you...everyone knows the item is not for making utensils...so you can rest assured you are not going to get anything from the market. Now once DRDO shows that they have the capabilities....sudenly you will find many people interested in you for collaborations and all....so it is a dynamic system..and a completely selfish approach is required here....so..once we ask these defense companies for the order of so many air crafts..it is in our favor that we force them to extract as much technological information as possible....

Also, one of the aspects that is generally not brought out in favor of DRDO is following. Suppose you go to the international market and then say ..you want this sort of missile..you will find many interested people to sell you..but the cost would be so high..that you simply can not afford it...now once DRDO starts developing this sort of missile...and tests it..suddenly the same companies would be coming back to you saying we are going to sell you the same stuff in one third of the price..so in a way..DRDO spent the resources on developing the technologies..the product is not perfect...but still you have got a negotiating power on your side by virtue of that...

And all these people who are critising DRDO...try to look from the scientists point of view. Are they the best scientists of the country?..Possible a good number of them are more educated than any lot in most of the private secotr companies....and they are paid such a meagre salaries..where is the motivation?....what are the facilities?...What is your career growth?....if you do not have answer to these questions..how can you have a dedicated work force for DRDO...whatever little they have achieved..they have achieved despite the troubles..they deserve appreciation...

It is not like that...even if you have made an engine...and radar...basically the efficiency and efficacy of these items are not the best that is available...and you can not go on for indefinitely trying to develop the same engine with little by little improvement...so it is very important that DRDO at least gets some hints about thecurrent technologies...
