Killed TEDBF in favour of MRCA & Rafale

Zorawar (In the process to get killed wit bureaucratic red tape & ridiculous demand

Future FRCV tank..... already killed by ridiculous expectations .
Their demands were soo delusional that it looks like, they want to stall this project as long as they can so that china & pak wil benefit by inducting their own modern tanks

P75I : However v look at it it's German Type 214 or South Korean KS3 r the best fits for Indian Navy.But no.They self sabotaged by putting a criteria that AIP should have been in existence & proven.Except Type 214, no sub in world wil qualify that criteria.A deliberate sabotage

(1/10)With GE414 deal, v repeated the same blunder v made after kargil war, where U.S stoped GPS access to IAF, but our defence babudom & IAF personel let a GE404 Engine mounted on2 Tejas prototype.
Common sense dictates that,if u have a foresight,u wil foresee that....

(2/10) Indi-U.S has a bad relationship till 1999-2001.
There might come a situation in future, and on that day U.S-Ind relations may strain 4 some period,and during that time U.S will not send spares for maintainence of GE404 engine.And so, v should not let U.S engine ....

(3/10)......should ever power our fighters.
And here v r . That situation has come.
And same situation will arise with GE414 deal too.

(4/10)This GE414 deal is nothing but a trap.
U.S will drag its feet 2 supply that 20% critical tech .
They WILL NEVER openly say that they denied us. Instead they wil give us lame excues.
TejasMK2, AMCA,TEDBF will meet the same fate of what Tejas MK1A is facing today after 10yrs

(5/10) Our defence bureaucracy, IAF r the reason y our fighter programs will face a death trap. They didnt raised alarm back in 2001, and here v r .
None raised alarm wit GE414 deal, and v wil b in absolute worst postion than v r now.

(6/10)And stealthly IAF is trying to bring white elephant MRFA, throwing away 20Bilion dollars.
By the time v get MRFA rafale ,china will have 500- 600 J20's, let alone 800 J16's,near 1000 J10.
Meanwhile pakistan wil have 400 JF17.
Do a rit thing now wit 10KN Engine SAFRAN deal

DRDO MPATGM killed by Indian defence bureaucracy in favour of Imports.
If u think like china, u can buy Javelling ATGM in black markt, reverse engineer it, mass produce it, improve up on it. But our esteemed generals didnt want this way

In 2010, the Army had a shortfall of 44,000 ATGMs of various kinds against a sanctioned holding strength of about 81,000

@adgpi U r not accountable for ur decisions

Pathetic state of ISRO
Taking pride of SpaceX which is on a hunt to kill ISRO.
No dedicated funding for Heavy Lift Launch vehicle,
(SCE-200 & Indian Methalox Engines)

Absolute shameless & trcherous acts by our military establishment. U either drool over Rafale or Israel guns.Spend 3.5B$ on 31 U.S drone. But when it comes to procuring Indian made weapoons u activly try to kill our weapon compnies

(1/2) How P75I planners in 2004 had set it to fail in 2024:
Of all these,3 decisions r most trecherous. Latest being P75I criteria.Some lowns r soo smart 20yrs back,and their legacy continues.

(2/2)After our Navy gentlement enquired about Type-214 & S80, they said neither confirms to P75I criteria.That whole setup was made2 fail & drag4 decades
