I fail to see how after forty years of disasters DRDO continues to exist. Can someone explain how that outfit has not been stood up against the wall and encouraged to do better by gunfire?

shares the wealth with its political masters? Or is the conduit for sharing the wealth amongst politicians?

Can't be much else.
I suppose that necessity, which has ever been the breeding grounds of competence, simply isn't there. So while it's nice for India to have shiny new toys, politicians simply don't believe there exists a big enough threat to India to warrant actually spending tax money on what its designated for.
Should Pakistan or China start sinking some Indian ships or taking chunks of land as their own, you may see all that changing and fast, until then, DRDO and its amazing run of failed purchases will continue to run...
Incompetence/corruption in the west will lead you very quickly to the unemployment office, in the east it'll stand your back against a wall. I guess India hasn't decided which way she'll jump.

For this type of corruption... I side with the blindfold and wall technique.. By pilfering and corruption in regards to national defense.. to me.. falls right in there with treason and a wide range of lesser offenses regarding selling out your citizens and soldiers safety and ability to defend the nation.. and the immense amount of harm that does and the potential for far greater (potentially, incalculable) harm..

Its treason of the highest order.
Just because no ones come to harm from it yet (well, i say no one, how many good potential defence contractors have now gone out of business cuase they were fucked over by these ass wipes, so their talents are no longer available to India as a whole)... doesnt mean its not around the corner.
Then there was todays release by global peace index, that has found a direct correlation between the level of corruption and the likelihood of mass violence breaking out. Past a certain point, it becomes almost an inevitability.
Where do you think India sits?
I hate corruption. Its the biggest thing holding us back. If you think the west is immune just ask Alon Musk how hard it been cracking into military satellite launches.... Hate corruption.

>I hate corruption
Ditto.. And it "seems" (don't know the actual statistics) as if it's becoming a bigger problem in the U.S. Things that in the past that would have been intolerable to the public barely seem to get a shrug of the shoulders..
There was just a small blurb in the news about some Pentagon staff using DoD credit cards for prostitutes and gambling.. They should be making small rocks out of large rocks in some federal prison for the next 10-15 years... but I'll bet most of them probably keep their jobs... We tolerate the small.. and that leads to the big...
