W...Speeches are fine, we need to action on ground.<br /> Whenever a Govt takes any action out of ordinary to involve pvt sector, Politicians of all colours cry crony capitalism. <br />Look at ATAGS, India never had any experience in 155 mm artillery design least of TATA or Kalyan’s.<br /> both rose to the occasion. <br />We need more such successes .<br /><br /> I hope Tata kestrel is selected by IA. That deal needs to be done or scrapped. TATA have sunk a lot of money into it. <br />Same wth minesweeper, Hand it to pvt sector with specs. They will find a way out and deliver. <br /><br />Assault rifle story is worse, after having fought 4 wars, Countless insurgenicies, UN missions.... we have no clue on what kind of rifle we need ! We will now have three imported and another 2 or 3 make in India. <br />While in all other countries (including US that fights in more diverse theaters) there is only one (dominant) design . <br />Look at China one dominant design, continuously improved. 6.8 caliber. Absolutely innovative. <br /><br />All above cases are fit for innovations , if not pure patents.<br />MoD, PSU and IA/IN have failed to deliver ! Only these Organizations can fix the broken procurement system. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-15548778143146996632018-11-28T06:52:28.573-08:002018-11-28T06:52:28.573-08:00Artificial intelligence and such cutting edge tech...Artificial intelligence and such cutting edge technologies shall change the battlefield stratigies in future.
