I salute the brave Indian soldiers who fought with whatever that have during the Kargil war, losing friends and colleagues in such tough situations knowing that there may be no way back but still went ahead. This is what makes Indian Army the greatest in the world. I am happy now that HAL Prachand is there as part of this group.

[@AbhishekSanyalTGV]

I am proud of my country. But what's scary is that a learning from 1999 took over 20 years to implement, and we still are yet to induct them in huge numbers.

[@buzzlightyear1484]

Well we were not quiet good economically then nor now and government had other interests

[@wudithworanga8762]

Do a research about aviation R&D and implementation, this is not a new thing. Even advanced fighter jet like f35 took like 20 years in making with all the technology and history of US fighter jet making. It was first flew in 2000 and fully operational from 2015 to 2020. (edit : I am not an indian, just admiring the engineering effort)

[@swapnilp5774]

Developing a weapon is not a simple as making Halwa. It take time, efforts, funds, patience.

[@AbhishekSanyalTGV]

@@swapnilp5774 I also know that weapons are not halwa. I in fact couldn't care less about halwa. But all I am saying is - India's industrial capabilities given its population and size, are far from perfect. Add bureaucracy to the mix. The pace is borderline pathetic.

[@swapnilp5774]

@@AbhishekSanyalTGV I agree. But you also should agree to the fact that we were under foreign occupation just 76 yrs ago. Neither we amassed wealth by looting other countries, nor we were profiteers of world wars. And we had such dire issues like food security, basic healthcare, basic infra and so on to be addressed immediately. So, I request you, before making any comparison with any other country, please understand that. Also, we are one of the only four truly sovereign nations, which are USA, Russia, China and India. No other country is truly sovereign. Think over this... So, we must get self reliant in every strategic field. We can't rely on any other country, as much as possible. That's India's vision. And that's why our focus till now had been on food security, healthcare, education, strategic sectors like nuclear and space tech, basic infra etc. Weapon manufacturing came later because till 1991, USSR used to be our prime reliable supplier. Also, France, Israel and UK to some extent helped us. Though, our Ballistic missile development programme (IGMDP), missile defence programme, nuclear submarine programme, Indigenous fighter jet programme and many other weapons programmes ran simultaneously, since Indira ji's govt. Nuclear programme and Space programme was active since our independence. Just look at our ballistic missiles or satellite launch vehicles. Our efforts started bearing fruits since 80s. Lack of resources, financial resources etc, were surely obstacles. But our nation overcame it in a brilliant way. It takes time to design building blocks and core tech. After that it's relatively easier. Western countries had colonial wealth. USA was the biggest war profiteer of two world wars, China copied everything and so on. So don't compare. And now, since we are doing well in terms of earlier priorities, we can focus on weapons manufacture and other sectors in which we are relying on others. So before making any insensitive conclusions about our nation's path, I urge you to study in depth about our priorities at given time and reasons behind those. It's not as simple as it looks.

[@anjanghosh52]

Being an Indian I'm very proud of PRACHAND and to me, it is the ultimate mean machine for the high altitude warfare, furthermore, during the conflict, we don't have to keep our eyes on the book of accounts, because it's 100% made in India, my heartfelt thanks to DRDO, HAL, MOD and our beloved PM Modiji.

[@fun3721]

When USA denied us GPS, we sent satellites into space and built NAVIC. Necessicity is the mother of all inventions. So long as India keeps buying foreign made products, we will not make anything for ourselves. We are still buying engines. We need to prioritize kaveri engines or a new design for that matter. We need to build engines for ships, frigates, destroyers as well. We need to design our own guns instead of buying Sig from USA or AK 47 from Russia.
