Indian Sonar and Torpedo developments

[Ashwin]

Are we procuring F-21 torpedos or integrating the desi one?

Why do you ask that? It specifically mentions EHWT which is a DRDO development.

$100 million just to integrate is outrageous. This is what happens when you don’t have design control.

All depends what means "integrate".
Maybe indian side want a "black box" between the torpedo and the sub conbat system to avoid data leaks.
Maybe indian side want a certain number of field tests with all the traceability needed.
Maybe indian side ask Naval Goup some know how about, for exemple, fiber optic guidance or....

We don't have the details, and no one forced the indian side to ink.
