    Maybe we should look at some cold hard numbers for each country you mention rather than simply assert "industrial base" and "human capital potential" in any more personally imputed direction. Things like international patent grants per year and intellectual property receipt (and scale this for...

    Yah Bharat Rakshak predates this twitter era "new forum" stuff that I mentioned.....so it has more seasoned and matured brigade of Indian defence watchers/analysts there. It is worthier to follow for news and analysis for sure. Here I reference some of BR discussion regarding engine development...

    It is actually very shockingly simple to explain. Talent+aptitude+competence vis a vis "bureaucracy" are nearly entirely disjointed sets in India for most things as you go up the ladder of organisation and control. It gets especially worse in defence sector especially given this is old boys club...

    No anger here from my end my friend, and no I do not think you are "an idiot". I just think TF-X is (aerodynamically and structurally) a clean sheet design from what I can see and it will have its solutions others in same 5th generation have found as well.
