^^ not trying to spread negativity but from national security perspective.
-Our defence procurement policy is in mess. Less we talk about jet engines the better, i gets into depression whenever I think about kaveri engine and our dependency on GE-F404 for tejas. Barring the engine fiasco pvt sector is picking up pace but defence babus like videsi maal too much because of their cuts.
- atm we are not doing too great in launching our own satellite. Recently we had a major setback on launching spy satellite.
Because our leaders believe in diplomatic solutions which is not wrong but we also should focus on showing who we are then only we will not be forced into doing something. And we are not spending that much to defense compared to other nations but we also known for creating things at much economic cost compared to others. It will take time but we are on the path but our leaders are entirely focused on state elections and whenever they need support from people they will do something that gives them short term relief.
Even timbaktoo focus on diplomacy so these guys on top not doing something new or out of the box. Diplomacy plays big role and considering our size, yahan par sare department understaff hai.
Modi talks big but jab project funding ki baat aaye toh sabka randi rona start ho jata hai. These folks thinks that some country will spoon fed them all the cutting age tech. To his credit he did bring agniveer scheme, it will give dividends in long term, warna sara defence budget pension mein hi jana tha.
Elections every 6month is huge issue and big distraction. I hope, one nation one election gets a green light, even if there is any political cost to any party.
