Don't post his exfart analysis here. All these people have one similarity that they all look like shit.
This Ukraine Russia War and Sanctions flying around will give a Big Push to our Self Reliance ie AATM NIRBHAR -- Mission
Nah, mate. These programs were in the works since years. This is simply the result of this year being 2022. Nothing else.
Seems to be a huge development for our Pvt sector which seems to have gone under the radar.
How come there's not much hype or articles by the usual suspects in the MSM or even discussions out here on what's probably the greatest push for MII or Atma Nirbharta in the last 2 decades if not more ??!
As part of expansion of the existing unit, BEL has taken up establishment of an Advance Night Vision Products Factory in Nimmaluru Village, Pamarru Mandal, Krishna District of Andhra Pradesh in an area of around 50 acres, to cater to the futuristic requirements for Night Vision Products. The new factory is likely to create direct and indirect employment for around 500 people.
You are right there is supersonic highly manoeuvrable UAV under development by ADA. May be it will be used for ISR role but right now they are calling it as interceptor.
That new drone is for the air superiority role. It's called FUFA. A penetrative ISR should be many years away due to its complexity. The other two drones will be far more expendable in comparison.
This guy, Sriram, is severely underestimating the value of $300M for R&D in India. Our most expensive R&D program, AMCA, will cost us a mere $250M per year on average, minus engine. You can do a lot of stuff for $300M a year. Like the entire R&D cost of Arjun tank over the many decades was a little over $200M with inflation.
It is different from FUFA and it's design is futuristic.
