The DRDO is now becoming a good (not great or very good) organization as they are atleast responsive to Armed forces and trying. The Ordnance factory management needs a revamp and a reboot. The Armed forces fear that however good may be the prototype product that they may select or it be thrust down their neck, its always domestic manufacture which has no concept of quality control which ruins the products actual reliability. <br /><br /><br />The Dhanush (new version of the Bofors) is actually a great example of what Ordnance factories can do if they are kept on their toes and inspected by a COAS. In my opinion the Corps of Artillery must make Gen VK Singh, (retd.) an Honorary Colonel of the Corps of Artillery for 'excavating' Dhanush for the army.Jean Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07523465808756925391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-55991980563200942282014-07-12T10:16:50.550-07:002014-07-12T10:16:50.550-07:00Brilliant - this is excellent news!!Brilliant - this is excellent news!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-28431646542204175562014-07-12T05:37:36.063-07:002014-07-12T05:37:36.063-07:00After hike in DRDO budget, all jokers in IAF(Impor...After hike in DRDO budget, all jokers in IAF(Imported Air Force) have started whining about loss of their H&D(they feel ashamed to stand beside LCA and take pictures with their Russian girlfriends/paid-girls).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-80179496899486029302014-07-11T21:06:07.958-07:002014-07-11T21:06:07.958-07:00Allah ke nam me water bootle or boots de do !!Allah ke nam me water bootle or boots de do !!Mudbloodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-41352901967760322972014-07-11T11:55:41.412-07:002014-07-11T11:55:41.412-07:00Colonel,

So why putting this puny reporter tag on it and degrading its value? I was reading it and thinking that the language and data-love indicates your flare. But then I shrugged and thought maybe some dime-a-dozen reporter would have written it, just got lucky this time by doing research in right direction. <br /><br />Now I see your blog and realise, it was definitely you. So please ask BS to stick to your name or mention it as editorial so everyone knows who wrote.Krisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-43214850532158397402014-07-11T10:26:11.527-07:002014-07-11T10:26:11.527-07:00Sir,
