🚨🪖✈️🇮🇳 “A NEW WEAPON SHOULD NOT BECOME A 5 OR 7 YEAR INTEGRATION PROGRAM.” AIR MARSHAL TEJPAL SINGH SENDS A CLEAR MESSAGE: NO MORE YEARS OF WAITING TO INTEGRATE NEW WEAPONS. INDIA’S DEFENCE INDUSTRY MUST MOVE AT THE SPEED OF TECHNOLOGY. We need an industry that can integrate quickly.... “A software update should not wait for a mid-life upgrade. A new algorithm should be capable of moving from the laboratory to controlled operational experimentation quickly.” Is he pointing to anyone?show more

He must be talking about SPICE integration on Indian airforce Rafales (for which they had to abandon and separately pay to integrate HAMMER) as part of the ~$2BN ISE package Anything else would be disingenuous…..

This is applicable only for desi platforms. Imports like Rafale are excluded from this rule of endless wait and platform obliscence. And yes Su30s also wont be upgraded for close to 2 decades.

What abt ASTRA mk2 or NGARM 😐😐 how many more yrs are you all gonna take

Only the Indian defence industry has to move at the speed of technology, while the foreign or screwdrivergiri weapon industry can move at any speed, and we will support it.

Is he talking about Meteor integration on Rafale ?

Obviously HAL

HAL DRDO are cooked thanks to AI and more foreign OEMs Indian startups can only become a small player in major systems Unless there is a unified R&D la. But bo ownership by government Provide labs and test bed but dont control it

Then public sector cannot so it. Not their fault .

Rafale has finally achieved full integration with all it's systems? 🧐 Otherwise these comments would not have been made.

Pointing to everyone atp
