The army thought that the good for nothing bloody civilian DRDO was useless (irrespective of what the reality was) and proceeded to plonk taxpayer rupees in the hundreds of crores and now thousands on russian t-90s. Because, you see, the russians, being whiteskinned and tough and slavic, unlike the potbellied dark drdo scientists, would make good tanks. Well, reality bites. And now the DGMF is scrambling to save their a$$ by making sure the Arjun doesnt show itself to be superior to the T-90 and send a bunch of Gens careers to the toilet. Praising the Arjun, I am told, in front of the brass, is akin to career suicide.<BR/>This is the reality. No matter what the DRDO does, whether it be Akash or Arjun, the Haw-Haw General and Air Marshal Blimps in the AF and Army will object. Its only good enough, if its from them abroad guys, old chap and toodle hoo and all that, what say?<BR/>Having been part of the clique, I can tell you, this inherited Brit contempt for the civvie side of things, has really mucked up many things.
