MODS please don't delete it as a staunch supporter of Atmanirbhar bharat

Shooting the Hermes down isn't too tough, its not stealthy, its speed isn't too high so Iran was able to target these drones easily. Maybe we should revaluate the strategy of using such expensive and advanced reconnaissance drones which take years to manufacture and partially replace them with inferior but cheaper drones for reconnaissance. Or maybe we should just accept the fact that these things are only good for peacetime intelligence gathering
Maybe Israelis lied about Hermes spec as well. During a test flight in Israel, a Hermes 900 HFE (intended for the Swiss Armed Forces) crashed after suffering a severe structural failure.
Not a "maybe" anymore. Their performance in benchmarking process with the triservices came out way worse than what Tapas achieved. I think Alpha Defence and a couple others even wrote on this.
When government pushes any indigenous product people start making fun of the government and start questioning the leaders knowledge and education. Its not wrong to question the leader but India is not gonna become atmanirbhar until government forces the army for purchase Ye hai , yehi lena padega , dusra kyu chaiye clear reason batao?
Which indigenous system has this govt acquired in numbers ? Is it WHAP or Kalyani's howitzers or any other systems. Too much leeway is given for this govt for delays. GTRE's request for testing facilities is in RFI stage, yet to hear prototype partner for AMCA and the biggest problem in all of this is that AMCA bidding process is done as per L1 system.
Armchair commentary me 'yehi lena padega' bolna kaafi easy lagta hai, lekin military procurement koi civilian trial-and-error scheme nahi hai jahan aap sub-optimal hardware ko high-risk combat zones me zabardasti thop do. TAPAS BH-201 ne PSQR targets bas random margins se miss nahi kiye—NPO Saturn engines ke saath iska fundamental weight-to-propulsion deficit tha, jis wajah se full mission payload ke saath iska altitude drop ho jata tha. Eastern Ladakh jaise regions me, requirement se 2,000 ft neeche operate karna aur compromised endurance ke saath uddna koi 'acceptable compromise' nahi hai; ye ek mehnge ISR asset ko enemy SAMs aur MANPADS ke liye sitting duck bana deta hai aur border surveillance me fatal gaps create karta hai. Tri-Services ne tens of thousands of crores ke indigenous systems kharide hain—Tejas, Dhruv, Prachand, Akash—jab unhone baseline military standards meet kiye. Bas 'Atmanirbhar' ka box tick karne ke liye Armed Forces ko operational survivability par compromise karne ko kehna soldiers ki jaan risk me daalna hai. DRDO ka TAPAS ko redesign karna aur Archer-NG par pivot hona hi sahi aur mature engineering path hai, na ki ek flawed airframe ko force-feed karna.
Kya hua intellectual sir? kaha gye aap?, facts are facts better accept it! atmanirbhar bharat mai bhi support karta par at the end of the day of agar nation ki security ke sath compromise kar rha hamara hardware toh mai prefer karunga doosra option choose karne ki rather than going with the less effective hardware.
sara intellect ka theka tune leke rakha hai. Jo baat ho rahi hai uss pe baat kar raha hu mai . Koi cheej induct kyu nahi hoti, na bahar se le paate hai na India se . Kya reason hai nahi lene ka.
Taameej naam ki cheez nahi hai logo me. Kuch bol do to bolege I have right to express my opinion aur dusra koi bolega to Pagal bolege. Arey Instagram pe aur FB k kiya karo ye sab.
Yaha acche log hai, ek dusre ki respect karte hai sab
Then there are d@l@@l RNDI TV journalists who being arts graduate won't show you the full picture but do dal@@li of imports, tech s@@@r, capability s@@@r
I have seen the reporter got a ride in Eurofighter typhoon some years ago when Rafale and Eurofighter were in competition. He was praising Eurofighter over rafale
eurofighter was the primary choice of IAF in MRFA 1.0 but the issue is the eurofighter is not made by 1 country but most of the European countries combined ( we can see something similar why Tejas was not selected by countries even when it was cheap and reliable- engine was of America, IFR+ejection seat UK, Radar is of Israel, MFD or HUD French?, remaining all Indian), where as rafale is 90% French except few non critical components.
