Leave alone complex systems such as submarines, Aircraft carriers or frontline fighters.... we cannot even make up our minds about development of robust primary infrastructure! Present Government has some way to go before they learn to be efficient in planning and delivering IN TIME but, the successive Congress Governments were criminally negligent (and corrupt) in this field.<br /><br />Road - rail - airfield - port - infrstructures along our boders AND on our strategically placed islands need no long drawn evaluations or complex negotiations with foreign vendores or their governments. It was clear to all military minds 30+ years ago these gospel truths but, no one paid attention to their warnings and pleadings. <br /><br />Pray Modi Team is more alive to country's needs and future development.Captain Sanat Bhatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-11582793170262284602017-09-14T18:51:23.102-07:002017-09-14T18:51:23.102-07:00Agree with JS Bibra.

Correct the design issues in IAC-2 rather than simply start building it. <br />Can IAC-1 fly F-18 or Rafale or is its design limited to carrying MiG-29/Tejas ? <br />In the meanwhile let money be used for force multipliers in the form of NMRH, naval drones to back up P-8I and long range standoff weapons. <br /><br />So let MoD take its time. There must be valid reasons.
