Then the armed forces to continuously upgrade specifications of products in use, not have knee jerk reaction and make RFI.<br />Case point of bad planning the basic infantry assault rifle.<br />Compare this to US. They have continuously upgraded what they manufacture like F-18, simultaneously making break through prouducts like armed unmanned flyng platforms.

If you look at artillery , the success has come through collaboration with private sector.<br />That is the way forward.<br />DRDO culture will take a long time to change, if at all.<br />We have had bosses there who like hog headlines rather than work silently.
