India indeed should spend on R&D but efficiently, and that means not duplicating technology that is already on sale to India. There is no need to re-invent the wheel unless you are a pariah communist/terrorist rogue state that the West won't sell modern weapons to. India on the other hand is a democracy in good standing with the West. India can buy any weapon the West is willing to sell. Indeed, Western countries are falling over themselves to beat a path to your door, to ingratiate themselves with India because India buys huge quantities of foreign weapons! The MMRCA alone gained India soft power as well as hard power!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-19072431107262477202013-03-09T09:49:46.194-08:002013-03-09T09:49:46.194-08:001 Crore, one cant even buy decent EMP shelter requ...1 Crore, one cant even buy decent EMP shelter required for TCS with this amount , leave alone technologies required. And MoD expects this project to be role model for all others. Such an tragedy for the teams working on this project from xx years. Companies should take call to scrap this project and quit support in protest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-19641988520720749952013-03-08T10:49:11.191-08:002013-03-08T10:49:11.191-08:00@ Anonymous 8 March 2013 06:36

By that means when India started its space program (America was well ahead of us and still is) that was stupid. Well, you have been proved wrong by ISRO. m0r0n.

The rest of the world can benefit from something called 'comparative advantage'. The fact is that America dedicates vast sums of money to developing the most sophisticated and lethal weapon systems in the galaxy. Rs1 crore or 89 won't make a difference in bridging that technological gulf that separates India's and America's defence industries. India and her Jawans have has well served simply buying arms from established reputable Western defence companies than throwing money down a well trying to duplicate Western technology.
