How come a country self-sufficient in surface to surface ballistic missiles (even tactical ones) - couldn't produce air to surface versions? Is it because there were no such requirements placed with the DRDO? Or DRDO couldn't do it? Or what?

@deepgoyel Will come. Wait for it.

@Tej_Intel Any update ? @Tej_Intel Deal official signed No update mdl

P75I contract signed. 💯

@alpha_defense Remove the salary part from that budget.

📊 DRDO Budget trajectory: 2020-21: ₹19,327 cr 2021-22: ₹20,457 cr 2022-23: ₹21,330 cr 2023-24: ₹23,263 cr 2024-25: ₹23,855 cr 2025-26: ₹26,816 cr 2026-27: ₹29,100 cr ← NOW Target: 10% of total Defence Budget = ~₹58,000 crore (Raksha Mantri commitment) The R&D investment curve is bending upward. #DRDO #IndiaDefence

IPS officers should serve as Company Commanders and Battalion Commanders in CAPFs before being posted as DIG and above. You cannot transition from regular policing to CAPF role overnight with no experience of that specialised task.

@royan_sanju @cvkrishnan We need both in numbers. Can't make choices.

Wrote this a couple weeks back and all I recived was hate, first of all I'm a def-tech founder and this is my full time job for the past two years. And once again, no Shaheed is not a successfull weapon system and what Iran had was a utter failure with its predictions. If Iran has spent theamount of money spent on drones and ballistic missile on It's airforce buying fighters & AD in 1000s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei would have been alive by now. Saar Shaheed damage oil refinery saar so we need shaheed too saaar, China can manufacture 10x number of SAM missiles than the number of suicide drones India could ever produce. Saar Pakistan saturation attack saar, that's what we have brahmos and Nirbhay for. Increase their prodction to over 1000/ year. stokpile enough to take down every single PAK airforce stations. Shaheed is a good weapon for terrorist groups to terrorise innocent civilian population not a good military weapon. US used Tomahawk to launch strikes on Iran not LUCAS Drones. People in higher ranks of Military know things far better than 99% twitter keyboard warriors. Just don't wrongly influence stuff. Yes these toys looks fancy and I want one too but Indian Army, Navy and Airforce want much leather actual military systems. You don't design, build / buy a weapon system just because its good ! that is not how military strataegy works. Just because Iron Dome is good dosen't means India needs one. F14s were built for Carrier strike groups, the moment the case is not valid anymore they are sent out of service same goes for every other fighter story. For the past two years my job has been observing military systems and why & how it is built the way it is and that's my full time job, I'm not a random guy posting stuff after my 9-5 job, this is my daily job.

Personal opinion - a CDS should always be a 4 ⭐ officer - given the exposure he gets during his tenure. Making a 3 ⭐ officer sit above the Chiefs doesn't deemed fit. Also, it is speculated that various components of Theatre Command could be under DMA - hence a 4 ⭐ seems right

@prahaladag55586 Will come in a few days. This is sort of exclusive info.

@Tej_Intel Any official post ?..

The same country has denied us weapons & systems citing human rights concerns and what not. Not long back - MTU engine for Zorawar light tank was denied. They are not dependable.

Technology Perspective Capability Roadmap has no mention of a 6th gen platform in the integrated services roadmap. There is no capability for even defining India's 6th Gen. Thinkers, planners have failed to conceive 6th gen. They're too dumb to think beyond imports.

Saw this video on Insta. What is that thing in the end? A ballistic missile? Or an aircraft? Or a UFO?

What the hell is happening? 😱😱 Bharat Electronics has hired 700–1000 R&D engineers and increased its R&D budget to ₹2000 crores for next year.

Point 1: Airforce is left with no option but to join one of these consortiums. Point 2: It will be a MISTAKE in terms of autonomy The biggest problematic countries are the UK, Germany and Japan (given the influence of US on them or otherwise)

Given our history: we are one of the most incapable nation in targeting leadership of any organisation. Leave military/political leadership - we could not even manage to pick the leaders of any major terror (UN listed) outfits.

@cvkrishnan Every sentence is wrong.

So may things factually wrong with this post, I dunno where to even get started.

Incorrect. ❌❌ The whole engine would be a joint IP. The case of IPR doesn't arise. There could be ToT for the manufacturing processes. Also, there is no case of restrictions on France.

@alpha_defense 💯

India needs to urgently focus on three areas we’re barely addressing: 1. Build hardened bomb/artillery shelters in border towns to protect civilian populations. 2. Institutionalise nationwide war drills every 1–2 years. The public preparedness is clearly lacking (panic hoarding of LPG despite no war is a sign). 3. Create a trusted, transparent national communication network that people rely on for verified, timely information during crises. Preparedness isn’t panic, it’s resilience and India has always been resilient..
