DRDO is working on many niche products for which there are very limited alternatives worldwide. Targeting pods, Ejection seats for fighters, wideband jammer pod, active protection system, and now HMD. These will take time to develop and mature. In next decade, We will become a more affordable, politically neutral alternative to options like Israel.

LoL what utter bullcrap"Several attempts were even made, but every time the DRDO stepped in to say that they could make these missiles. However, to date, it hasn’t fielded even a basic third-generation prototype"

Army’s stock of anti-tank guided missiles & launchers is outdated & fast running out
Despite repeated efforts to procure advanced ATGMs, the Army still faces shortages, impacting operational readiness of infantry and mechanised infantry battalions.theprint.in
That the Army is facing an ATGM shortage despite hundreds & thousands of Konkurs, Milan 2T, Spike ATGMs being ordered in the past few years and that DRDO has not even fielded a third gen F&F ATGM prototype because systems like Nag, SANT, Dhruvastra and MP-ATGM have already seen multiple trials.Which part?
In that article they clearly mentioned that we do have atgms and are second gen while PA & plaa had fielded 3rd & fourth gen missiles. And as long as DRDO stuck with development trials we cannot accept that they did deliver something. None of the missiles u mentioned are under trials still.That the Army is facing an ATGM shortage despite hundreds & thousands of Konkurs, Milan 2T, Spike ATGMs being ordered in the past few years and that DRDO has not even fielded a third gen F&F ATGM prototype because systems like Nag, SANT, Dhruvastra and MP-ATGM have already seen multiple trials.
