Their civilian industries are advanced in Electronics and Shipbuilding. They can always count upon them to pick any assignments from their military establishments. Koreans have already built a subsonic cruise missile. We seriously need to send Indian students on scholarship to Korean universities and expand Internship for Electronics and shipbuilding for technical college students with Korean industries.ROBINSONhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429976292705573516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-13204428457078767192013-10-22T02:18:36.475-07:002013-10-22T02:18:36.475-07:00Hi Ajai!

And secondly if there is an order then can HAL. built them is time ! <br /><br />2) We should have asked our private players to participate in this exhibition with their products like say "Pinaka Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher" etc. <br /><br />3) This just for info, during trials our " Deshi Bofors' " barrel got burst ! Even it is a licence produced and the composition of the material was known . Now how the other " Deshi 155 mm howitzers" ( Like Tata SUD. and L& T made) are performing ? Any news ? <br />Regards.Parthasarathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07701421388606152443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-86200877856007107242013-10-21T22:01:30.655-07:002013-10-21T22:01:30.655-07:00@Ajai sir

What is needed is the upscaled version of Prahaar with 200 Km+ range that will eventually replace the Prithvi 2.<br /><br />thanks<br /><br />Joydeep Ghoshjoydeep ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038225081192821456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-48734672136627243952013-10-21T09:02:20.545-07:002013-10-21T09:02:20.545-07:00Private sector should be allowed to develop wespon...Private sector should be allowed to develop wespon systems for the indian military and also for export after vetting of the government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-12726246841815222652013-10-21T06:40:35.680-07:002013-10-21T06:40:35.680-07:00I think the DRDO is getting a little

I <br />don't know of any major weapon system<br />built by DRDO ever being successfully<br />deployed. Arjun ? LCA ? INSAS ? all <br />failures. The much touted missiles <br />are also suspect. The naval design<br />bureau, on the other hand, is another<br />matter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-40617867973939565412013-10-21T03:02:28.813-07:002013-10-21T03:02:28.813-07:00@ Deep
