[@sumithas9193]

@@DailyLifeSolution it's not about trusting Abhijit. If you look at the long history we have of resisting the wave after wave invasion and conversion, there is the truth . Ancient Persia just succumbed to the Islamic invasion within twenty odd years and so on. There are innumerable instances and episodes.

[@DailyLifeSolution]

@@sumithas9193 What about the region Hindu lost and are losing to various religions, both domestic and foreign? 01) Hindu lost large chunk of land to Mohammadakee where Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh reside now. 02) Hindus have lost large chunk of land to Buddhakee where Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bhutan resides now. 03) Hindus lost Tibet to Buddhism first and then to Communism. Hindus are losing slowly but steadily. A visionary leader emerges from Hindu once in a while and unites them to postpone the pace of fall, but the fall continues as Hindus revert the progress made by the leader after his demise. Hindus can not destroy castes, create Hinduwide social organization in last thousand years. This is reality of HIndu, not the entertainer Iyer says. Please wake up and do not trust the entertainer's words.

@@abhinavnambiar4720 The process of developing defense technology involves ordering defense tech in large quantities and creating iterative versions. This approach is essential for perfecting defense technology. It is not practical to have multiple jets of different classes in small numbers. This would pose significant logistical challenges and be a logistical nightmare in itself.

[@abhinavnambiar4720]

@@shashankkavur I agree, yes it can pose significant problems. But, you need to understand, when we diversify our source there are inherent advantages to it as well. For example, if we buy from a single source and the suppliers decide to not supply with spares or equipment anymore then we are basically screwed. But when we diversify, we still have other sources. Also yes we are working with Tejas and AMCA but it will take time to join the service. In the meantime, we will have to rely on foreign weapons. Logistical issues can be remedied to a certain extent by indigenizing certain parts or equipment like HAL and DRDO are doing in the case of Su30mki or even T90 tanks.

You actually put it aptly. This always happens when i listen to AIM. I feel like I live in a useless good for nothing country with Zero achievement. Suddenly China France and even Pakistan start looking better. But after 15 mins. I realise this guy is always pessimistic and India HAS made great strides.

@@ark3140 I appreciate your Nationalism. I can take honest feedback. But the pessimism is resounding. He says in 2045, nothing will change. We will be same as we are. I can't fast forward and show you that isn't correct. He has strong views about military equipment. I am no expert. So I take his criticism of Indian equipment investment and DRDO/HAL inadequancies. I can see a Brahmos or Pinaka or even a Tejas that we made and are now exporting. I am hearing him for over 3 yrs. I think he has an Agenda behind this criticism. Particularly disappointted by India not giving US enuf Orders as per commitments. He is frustrated by it. Not a good sign. Keeps deriding Russian equipment and Fighters. US for all its might, hasn't won a single war for a long time anywhere. Now they are losing Ukraine as well. Why?? They lost in Syria as well. N mind you NATO is man countries together. Why can't they defeat Russia, Iran and China together? What AIM says and what I see happen doesn't match at all. He never says we should develop our own weapons. Instead, he always talks down our institutions. Let me tell you one fact. You tell me if you were aware of this. NASA is a premier US institute right? The best you might say. Are you aware that for over 15 years, NASA doesn't send its Astraunauts to Space Centre on its Rockets? It sends them on Russian Rockets. Why? Richest country in the world outsourcing this key capability? As far as I am concerned, god has been kind.

They do not have urgency or fire to showcase their work, maybe it is the govt office attitude or they have given up. Only way any development will happen in India is when private companies are incentivised for R&D and only niche work is done by DRDO.

We still do not have armed drones. Work is being done slower than some govt offices. Also, repurposing engine developed for fighter plane for drones because it was a FAILED project is not a good way of development. We Indians will proudly call it JUGAAD, but in actual it is laughable. Even peons in private office get more work done in a day than "scientists" of DRDO in years.

[@AlohaKutla]

@@apoorvchauhan6258 I guess I will have to challenge all your points one by one: 1) TD for Ghatak UCAV have already taken its first flight -- GHATAK scaled down model flight has taken place an year ago. It will take 2+ years to create 1:1 and production will take 5 years. This is as per the conservative estimation of DRDO itself. 2) India recently demonstrated over the horizon capability for MALE drone (controlled by SATCOM). Ops included switching control from Land Based CS to Naval Vessel. - Yes that is what I mentioned in my comment. Data link verification is the basic feature of drones along with flight capability. MALE drone is delayed project and will take few more years for all features to be tested. Turkey has a viable drone project with less money and time because their scientists are motivated and project management is to the point. 3) We have indigenous Loitering Munition and Swarm Drones (demonstrated back in 2021) - Indigenous Loitering Munition is not a big project. A kid can attach hobby drone with explosives and drop it. Ukraine is doing it with cheap Chinese drones. Swarm drone is a great project and it is working at great pace. Both these projects are done by private companies though NOT DRDO. So get your facts right. 4) Kaveri is not repurposed🤡 rather downscaled with similar dry/wet thrust performance to fit our UCAV requirements. - KAVERI engine is a FAILED project. Even DRDO accepts it. Thrust output is way below the target. It was decided to use Kaveri engine for jet propulsion drones only recently. So it is at conception stage. Remember the scaled down GHATAK drone is not using Kaveri engine. 5)it's not jugaad rather versatility of our Engine. - Boasting about a failed project as if it was the objective is sublimely MORONIC. Accept that it was failed project, learn from mistakes and move on to the next project. Wasting 20+ years on a single project is nothing but idiotic. Only govt org can afford such morons. 6)I guess i hit the nerve by calling your friend Peon whose sole purpose of existence is syphoning kickbacks while DRDO scientists have developed ICBMs, AAMs, LCA, MBT, SAMs and what not. - Yes you did. You degraded the job of peons by mocking it. Your classist, elitist, racist attitude dripped in your comment. It showed me that you are north-Indian typical son who was coddled every day in his life and hardly worked for anything. Everything was given to you by your parents. Regarding my friend, he is working for a reputable company in US making them cutting edge tech with his 2 Masters degree! Morons like you make India develop slower than a snail running track.

​@@Wrongone007We couldn't diversity is B'S and a curse on itself.

Errors of omission is the curse

[@godares5564]

[@karthikg.m8927]

OMG the amount of knowledge these two guys have,hats off to that🤯

[@sanraz]

Kya baat hai! Kya baat hai! Totally floored and spell bound Both of you were and are fabulous Even though Mr Iyer was spot on in his replies but its no kids talk to ask pointed questions concerning India and our society

[@sandeepm9313]

Great and insightful conversation. I felt so sad when AIM became emotional at 2:27:15 hours into the podcast. Bless his heart. Such an enlightened soul!

[@pinakinkaushik2787]

You guys need to do more of these podcasts together the best was AIM saying I am still learning geopolitics. If only we had such experts in every field Top class podcast

[@srr2937]

Great collaboration of two intelligent men. Thank you Abhijit and Abhijit.

I get depression every time I hear about types of Indian Aircraft Fleet, It's not actually 6 types but far more, Airforce:- • Mig-21 • Su-30mki • HAL Tejas (MK1 & MK1A) • Mirage 2000 • Jaguar • Mig-29 • Rafale × Upcoming Airforce Aircrafts • Tejas MK2 • AMCA • ORCA (Maybe) Navy:- • Mig-29 × Upcoming Naval Aircrafts • TEDBF • Naval Tejas (Maybe) • Naval AMCA (Maybe) It's actually 7 different types of aircrafts currently in operations, which might go upto 13 different types of Aircraft, That's literally suicidal...🤯🤯🤯

[@imperialenforcer2271]

What's more depressing is that we haven't done anything tangible about ORCA, AMCA, TEDBF. Airforce is in a hurry to retire MiG-21s and reduce the squadron strength even more. Heck they even retired the MiG-27s and MiG-23s when they could've been upgraded and maintained the squadron strength until suitable replacements came. Something is better than nothing. An old plane is still better than having no plane. Purani chaddi ko phekne se pehle, nayi chaddi toh khareed lete....

[@hitzparmar1986]

Future aircrafts will replace existing aircrafts, tejas mk2 will replace mirage, jaguar and mig 29 , and amca will replace su30mki and tedbf will replace naval mig29 and tejas mk1a is for point defence, read well about Indian defence before you follow such stupid analist

[@colonelradec5422]

Same with the firearms in the Army. You have Western guns which use NATO standard 5.56x45mm and 7.62x51mm and then you have the Russian/Eastern European guns that use 7.62X39mm and 7.62x54mm. Man I genuinely hope that we don't have a war real soon otherwise we're gonna have a logistical nightmare. This kind of thing was prevalent in every country back during the World War era and we haven't learned anything from it. And let's not forget that we import a lot of our ammunition because our domestic factories and reserves are completely off the mark.

[@sagarkatkam]

Everyone remember what sir told us... He is making us introduced to new opinions and they will have difference from what we regularly hear from sir. Sorry for my bad English.

[@rohankikani3948]

More power to Abhijit Chavda sir and Abhijit Iyer Mitra sir. More power to the podcasters of India!

[@sunnynirmaan6899]
