DRDO and smart dedicated private designers must be encouraged to develop the new systems which will be required 10 years down the road.

Contract base jetliners (commercial stock with military grade built) and install our own equipment and compete to keep it uprated by half a generation ahead of the original. This is what Indians can do best and this is what we should do. after all we are the core of this world's R&D in any company you can think of today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-68516174500480065932016-11-23T00:04:15.964-08:002016-11-23T00:04:15.964-08:00Ajai,
