Iran always looks for results of drones not looks or price .. Iranian shahid 136 is now one of the most infamous drones in the world.. just keep it simple and cheap .. 🇮🇷❤️
Edit and Correct " infamous" to famous bro
@@ayten6169 it was writing mistake ..
cheap but has high quality of technology..
The reason why Iranian drones are so effective is not only because they work, but also because they're cost effective. Each Shahed-136/Geran-2 costs something like $20,000. Meanwhile Israeli equivalents cost $70,000. At the same time each Patriot missile costs $3 million & each NASAM missile $1 million. At that cost, even if the Ukrainians are able to shoot down the Shahed-136/Geran-2 drones, it's still a massive loss for them & a win for Russia. Now consider the fact that each Lancet kamikaze drone costs around $20-$40,000. Each M777 American made howitzer costs $6 million or more. With are exchange rates that Putin will accept all day long.
The disadvantage is once you've used it, you've used it.
Long live Iran 🇮🇳❤️🇮🇷 love from Indian Muslims ...
Ola Hu Uberrrrr

Don't forget Iran has multiple military institutions. The regular army is separate from the revolutionary guards. Both the army and revolutionary guards have their own separate R&D departments who sometimes compete against each other.
India: 2 billion people, no sanctions produces zero.
Iran: 85 million people, toughest sanctions produces everything.
Its clear
produces only military equipments. most other things produced by governmental companies are basically trash because there's monopoly and a corrupt system that only puts the focus on selling stuff to people and taking money from them and doesn't see the need to improve those stuff.
but since the government itself needs military warfare it wants them to be improved and thus spends most of its revenue on producing them and expanding its armed groups instead of spending them for people
it's the same thing for North Korea too. they both made a paradise for military warfare and a hell for their people
Katmullay... 😂
Rustom has been in development since 2009. It's either incompetence or corruption, or both. The leadership needs to be decisive. Give them 6 months to finish the project & come up with results or cut the funding. Set simple goals, produce one medium male drone for ground strikes over undisputed airspace & one kamikaze drone. Start with that. Not 10 or more projects.
zero was actually invented in India
@@user-wm9ti8fk7v chess was invented in Iran so was algebra whats your point
Iran is love 💕💕💕 from Kashmir ❤
Drdo: we have similar system ready indigenously. Will deliver in 1 year
Public: still waiting 😂
Drdo: we were under Sanction in 1998 for nuclear test
Iran: we are still under sanction but still can develop cheap drones
😅👍
The Armed forces are not less Idiots. They will take years to confirm their requirements and they still don't know what they want.
Like this guy said :- Indian drones cannot perform Operations in GPS denied environment unlike Iranian drone who's baseline drone come with that feature.
but we have nuclear bombs , which iran doesnt have. But but throw some shit on drdo😂😂😂.
Many DRDO (not all) are part time real estate agents in Bangalore. Sarkari Naukri.
@@Avtr3 ....Iranian Shahid 136 is deadly. Looks like even one can disable an Aircraft Carrier. If it strikes the Traffic Island { Command and Control centre} .
Just that can change The Nature of WarFare.
The Catching point is that Iran has been copying /Pirating since the 80's. If you keep producing such complex weapons yr after yr you will improve with every new product. Especially if you get components from different countries. India has started on Drones recently.
India needs cheap drones in huge quantities to tackle our massive boundary. Besides this, we need network centric AI systems that can process huge data from these drones. The fact that iran used duel use chips and material to build these shows that these drones can be built extremely cheaply, we need to get it right now, otherwise the chinese already have an established low cost commercial drone industry.
You are correct Mr. Rational..
You need AI against cows on the road
In Military - quantity has its own quality
@@flesz_ they need ai infused toilets to mop their Ascheeks while they shit at the same time
Cheap drones can't be successful. Only mass productions can reduce the cost of sophisticated drones
IRAN is wow 🔥
Iran make junk
just wait for the next strike from israel lolol
All sanctions do is make people far more innovative, especially if they are hyper focused on a particular industry.
yeah, it's fun to swipe microchips from washing machines and beg for second hand hardware, you can come up with million of innovations while at that.
No, sanctions will hold back a countrys military by decades technologicaly. There is always stupid arguments going around about how sanctions don't work. What sanctions will never do is stop a country from producing war material. Even if you make it twice as hard to produce war material a country can WAY more than double their efforts.
👍🏻
The problem is our eagerness to be compared with West, rather than being independent.
Iran sees Israel as competition hence they are so keen to improvise their weaponry whereas India still sees itself as successor of British (militarly) in subcontinent equipped with Soviet era arsenal. There is not that much level of improvisation. Even Indian tanks aren't up to the mark.
Rustom has been under development since 2009. This is either a case of incompetence, corruption, or both. The leadership needs to exert pressure on the people in charge of development. Give them 6 months to yield results or get rid of them.
india sees china as competition whats your excuse now?
@@classicmoviez3909lmao india doesnt at all, they rely on the united states to give them information on china for example, and also rely on their constant neutrality to buy huge swaths of weapons from different manufacturers and also defensive agreements like quad.
Iran did not see Israel(Zionist entity) as competition
Iran could play rummy game with US military
All you are seeing on media is just DRAMA
In real IRAN DEMONSTRATE its military power
If you have any doubt ask general Viktor bondarev

It is always a delight to listen to Snehshish Phillip in Defence and Strategic matters. Thank you SP.. Please appear more often. There are large gaps in this subject and updates are not coming fast enough.
Insightful presentation backed by adequate research - thank you Snehesh and The Print team.
Should serve as a year end appraisal of DRDO and it's UAV programme!
A sure shot way to kill a project is to drown it with requirements!!
Ths is the best video regarding iranian drone program..
India is 10 years behind Iran..(/Iran is 10 years ahead)
20yrs
The simple truth is
"Necessity is the mother of all invention"
DRDO is being operated just like eighties govtment office, it is high time to do something like with ordinance factory board
Such great reporting! Loved it!
Cheapness and simplicity and quantity are buffs not to be ignored .
Wonderful explanation of complex mechanism in simple words.
DRDO has no competition in India, that's the problem. There should be no industry without hardcore competition.
The problem is not that drdo has no competition the real proplem is it is underfunded and overworked it is alone responsible for drones,missiles,ships,submarines,fighter aircraft and helicopters,tanks,amunition,guns,vests,transport vehicles and a lot more.
@@Adityayadav-tj1ec or other reasons may be
1. 50% of work force is not worthy of job
2. Government Job security made of many complacent, why to work when salary is going to come anyway.
@@DesirousSam Yes your points are valid.
@@DesirousSam - his come then ISRO is a success story?
@@pichumanisankar2617 valid counter point ....
Reasons may be size of organisation, management, quality of workforce (ISRO's worse might be average in DRDO)...
ISRO is underfunded like any other government organisations so that is definitely not reason.
Sometimes issue is with people and their objective not what they receive.
One very important point you didn't mention is that Iran has 2 militaries, one called Artesh and the other Sepah. The way they work is literally like competing in a championship, and that has helped Iran far more than any other thing.
Indian govt never proactive always reactive..so don't expect much from them...
Don't blame the government. Blame the self-proclaimed intellectual clowns who believe that the Gandhian ideology can function in the real world.
One little airstrike by India causes a political storm in the entire country.
Questions upon the army, upon the government, upon the country..
These ideologies along with radical Communist, Islamist and Socialist elements are the poison which needs to be purified from our population.
Which government wants so much headache from the very people that it is trying to protect?
India needs to work thrice as hard than any other country in the world if it wishes to become truly powerful.
To truly achieve our traditional, ideological and strategic goals, Capability and Intent is a combination that we require, backed by an iron will to do whatever is needed.
Iran's success must be attributed to the fact that it was made helpless by America through sanctions
Iran situation is like do or die
Any country puts out its best in such situation
Live long Iran ۔۔۔۔
This is the inability of our scientists who can't come up with an invitation though having institutes like iits.
That is why it is truly said 80% of fresh engineers lack skills
IIT engineers are all mostly theoretical bookish knowledge - real life practical knowledge is almost non-existent unless they put their own time to gain real life experience.
I disagree. I think we have such intelligence to do whatever we need be it nuclear or drones.
Its just that we lack political willingness or thought process. May be Modi govt could fix this
@@polyglot52 Dude, the highest IQ Indians are in India - building India, companies, technologies etc INSIDE India.
The ones who leave India are not high IQ ones but those that want NRI tag, money & not struggle.
Else you must think the millions of cab drivers in USA, Europe, Gulf & cheap coders are higher IQ than Indian scientists/engineers at ISRO, Tata, Mahindra, DRDO, HAL, BrahMos, Kalyani, MKU etc
He says that Army cannot decide it's requirements and DRDO promises technology marvel. Nation is forgetting reality of its situation and dreaming without understanding itself.
This is a petty comment. Issue is policy infirmities and cross turf issues . The crucial coordination among stakeholders is missing.
India has many ongoing drone programs but is delayed in almost all of of them. I have been hearing of archer and other drones for quite a while now. Cannot some of these programs be moved to the pvt sector ?? Thank you for the information
Country with 42year sanction developed such Advance drone but india still buying Israeli Drone such is not good sign for make in india..
Problems is our armed forces , they claim they want indegenious system but refuse to buy so private firm afraid of taking risk .
Yes, real problem is somewhere else. Building stuff on time to fulfill one initial government contract is of moderate difficulty. Lining up profitable work going
forward beyond that first successfully completed task is the biggest challenge .
What about the INSAS rifle?
How does it fare against Western rifles of the era?
@@dineshpratapupadhyay6583 it keeps jamming every 100 rounds.
Even when it's based on simple AK mechanism, the auto loading system has issues.
That's why it has to be replaced with Russian made newer AKs
A good analytical presentation.
DRDO could learn.
If any of DRDOs drones need to see induction, it has to follow the model of “order first deliver later”approach..
That is armed forces write their needs n requirements along with order, budget , timeline at the same time;
DRDO delivers what they develop and *as they develop*, DRDO send everything to front lines from first prototype to 1st production model
DRDO may not get everything perfect first time, but they will sure get better with time
Those who don't know
Indian drone program here are some :-
Nirbhay used in mid between 1990 it's a catapult launch uav (unmanned aerial vehicle)
And after that they purchased some Israeli drones
Like harop etc
Indian drones such as
Archer
Rustom 1 and Rustom 2
Swift drones as a testbed to develop stealth ucav ghatak
And after that semi stealth drone cats warrior developed by hal consider it to be seen in 2024 🤔
This republic day drdo tablaue consists of Rustom drones
If we started make in India program 50 years ago we are in better position right now
Sorry for any grammatical mistakes I am just a defence lover jai hind
Keep harping on that nonsense in of 50years ago..without taking into account the resources available and priorities that had to be decided and acted upon. Not acknowledging that the problem is multifaceted and needs to be addressed now is typical of andh.....
And none of those drones are anywhere near production-ready and the military has ZERO interest in them as well. They are looking for Israeli and US drones instead.
Indeed, Nehru is responsible “ is where this comment took me
Fantastic analysis!

Iranians are more in pressure to innovate .
Here we are following process based office job in R&D
Amazing research
We Iranians love Indian, and I would say india could get a pretty good help from iran to build its own drone force !
What now.... I dia support Israel.
Is that changes your mind now?

One thing is apparently certain future warfare involves drones and AI. India need to invest heavily on both of these technologies more so because Chinese are pioneer in AI based tech and wouldn't be a shocker if they be developing good drones in less time.
Excellent analysis
Beautiful analysis bro
Iran-India always have been friends and share Aryan Roots in depth of history. Just like brothers from 1 father but 2 mothers. We should help and work together
Ha ha Iran doesn't give drone technology to India 😂😂
Amazing. BLUNT and a much-needed REALITY CHECK. Abhijit-Iyer Mitra is also another excellent defense analyst but, at times, can come off as arrogant. Snehesh is grounded and "goal" oriented.
As an ex user of such solutions my view is that there seems to be an unnecessary fascination for rotary mods. I wonder who does the product development work up?
Inspiring
Love to India from Iran!
West used our region for its benefits for years ,it a new time !
No Goal only process....an amazing episode. Loved it to bits
Drdo should transfer technologies to private companies...and let them work on it...within few years we can have multiple of them ...some might be good ....which we can use
it has started to do that
@@Adityayadav-tj1ec not really bro ,my team is currently working on stealth drones for india as a private startup , and there is little to no information available on stealth tech shared by drdo or any govt organization , we took three months only to find out the current tech and standards hopefully the information sharing improves but the amount of support we recieve is really good
u tore into the comparision and IRAN Vs INDIA. Good job
It is absolutely true that one of the most important problem in DRDO or any other military development program lies in the army , navy or the airforce just cannot make up its mind with what they want . They want every possible feature in each of their requirements and it keeps changing all the time. Just seethe fiasco with the AMCA program, the foreign medium weight fighter acquisition program, the Arjun tank and currently the latest submarine program where foreign contractors have categorically said they cannot meet the multifaceted requirements of the navy.
I have lived through this problem while working for the Indian defence requirement.
This is a comment that must be debated in great length. There can be a special task force to go into the depths of the issue.
Take the fiasco with Arjun tank project, for example. The Army says that it is too overweight for its needs while DRDO says that Army never told them about weight limits. There is total lack of coordination between the end-users and the designers, and our military has no stake or interest in the indigenous production of defense equipment.
AirForce went on changing their specifications etc., in respect to an indigenous fighter plane Tejas. So the DRDO had to continuously increase its speed and its maneuorability and finally Tejas is now produced is much ahead of Mirage fighter planes which India has at present.. But Tejas project had taken nearly two decades.
Iran 🔥🔥🔥
Not really
Rightly said, simplicity and mass production is key.
DRDO officials/workers are the same as all Government run institutions/companies , they are inefficient, not talent based, ,lazy, wasteful etc.
Problem is giving too much projects to DRDO with limited resources or funds
Very nicely covered
Which ate the sources?
In addition to the fact that innovations must be goal-driven, it is also important not to reinvent the wheel at every instance.
Kick out the technical and admin management immediately without notice. Ask them to clear their desk and leave and dont return. All the politicians should be hands off.
Nice one... Thanks
Well done reach
Private and produce in mass
Quantity has a quality of its own.
The CAG should have known of the defence research budget and should have known of the reasons for the backlog
I advise the Iranian and turkish people to support their government and army to strengthen their country , otherwise very soon the situation in your country will be like Syria, Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan , 100 more attack helicopters advance planes wants for Iran airforce . Navy needs 20 frigates and 20 corvettes. Focus more on IT sector and get ICBM missile with MIRV technology no talk no deal just get nuclear weapons immediately and show the whole world the power of Islamic countries and do business in Russian ruble currency.
Iran and other Islamic countries should boycott US dollar and start trading in Russian rubel currency this is the only option to avoid so called sanctions
Love from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
This UN can't face with single Nkorea because they have a nuclear weapons
This UN is against the Islam and Muslims
That's why I m saying Iran no deal nothing our islamic countries , every islamic countries should learn from Nkorea how to become a great power with weapons of mass destruction
Now turkey and Iran has a great opportunity to become a great power with weapons of mass destruction
Love from India Bangalore 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳.
This is a message for turkey too
میں ایرانی عوام کو نصیحت کرتا ہوں کہ وہ اپنے ملک کو مضبوط بنانے کے لیے اپنی حکومت اور فوج کا ساتھ دیں، ورنہ بہت جلد آپ کے ملک کے حالات شام، لیبیا، عراق اور افغانستان جیسے ہو جائیں گے، ایرانی فوج کو مزید 100 حملہ آور ہیلی کاپٹروں اور پیشگی طیاروں کی ضرورت ہے۔ بحریہ ایرانی فوج کو 20 فریگیٹس اور 20 کارویٹس کی ضرورت ہے۔ آئی ٹی کے شعبے میں زیادہ توجہ دیں اور MIRV ٹیکنالوجی کے ساتھ ICBM میزائل حاصل کریں کوئی بات نہیں کوئی ڈیل نہیں بس فوری طور پر جوہری ہتھیار حاصل کریں اور پوری دنیا کو اسلامی ممالک کی طاقت دکھائیں اور روسی روبل کرنسی میں کاروبار کریں۔
یہ اقوام متحدہ کسی ایک شمالی کوریا کا سامنا نہیں کر سکتی کیونکہ اس کے پاس ایٹمی ہتھیار ہیں یہ اقوام متحدہ اسلام اور مسلمانوں کے خلاف ہے اسی لیے ایران کوئی ڈیل نہیں ہمارے ہر اسلامی ممالک کو شمالی کوریا سے سیکھنا چاہیے کہ اب بڑے پیمانے پر تباہی پھیلانے والے ہتھیاروں سے عظیم طاقت کیسے بننا ہے۔ ترکی اور ایران کے پاس بڑے پیمانے پر تباہی پھیلانے والے ہتھیاروں سے بڑی طاقت بننے کا بہترین موقع ہے۔
من به مردم ایران توصیه می کنم که برای تقویت کشور خود از دولت و ارتش خود حمایت کنند وگرنه به زودی وضعیت کشور شما مانند سوریه، لیبی، عراق و افغانستان می شود، 100 حمله دیگر به ارتش ایران، ساعتی هلیکوپتر و هواپیماهای پیشرو نیاز است. نیروی دریایی ایران به 20 ناوچه و 20 ناوچه نیاز دارد. بیشتر روی بخش فناوری اطلاعات تمرکز کنید و موشک ICBM را با فناوری MIRV دریافت کنید مشکلی نیست بدون معامله فقط فورا سلاح هسته ای بگیرید و قدرت کشورهای اسلامی را به تمام دنیا نشان دهید و با روبل روسیه تجارت کنید.
ایران و سایر کشورهای اسلامی باید دلار آمریکا را تحریم کنند و تجارت با روبل روسیه را آغاز کنند.
این سازمان ملل متحد نمی تواند با یک کره شمالی مقابله کند چون سلاح هسته ای دارد، این سازمان ملل متحد علیه اسلام و مسلمین است، به همین دلیل با ایران معامله نمی شود، همه کشورهای اسلامی ما باید از کره شمالی یاد بگیرند که اکنون کشتار جمعی است. یک ابرقدرت با بازوهای در حال گسترش ترکیه و ایران بیشترین شانس را برای تبدیل شدن به ابرقدرت ها با سلاح های کشتار جمعی دارند.

Right to the point news
Yes. DRDO is not capable when compared to other countries. But they have a head start of 50 years we are doing catch-up for the past 8 years
Incorrect, America just have 150yrs ahead
May India also do what the wiser Iran is doing ❤!
The entire industry globally is still developing any comparison is very short lived and transitional. In the meantime the entire segment may become obsolete, nothing is long enduring.
sometimes sanctions are good, that help county to flourish their home industries. India is open market so for them buying already tested hardware is an easy/good choice to not invest multi-million dollars project with risk.
Iran has upgraded its shahed 136 drone to Shahed 238 with heavy payload , own setelite gps system & jet engine
Collaboration among all the institutions is must.....
Shahed drones are a hypersonic version of the modern drone
Iran & Turkey are way ahead in drones and their applications.
We need more private players in the defence industry .
Currently only the thoughts of DRDO gets turned into technology after seeing similar products/technologies abroad.
We need to constantly innovate our technologies like Israel to stay ahead in the game.
Turkey buys the sensitive parts of their drones like sattle navigation and missle heads. They also have a very few variants. Iran has more than 40 different drones.
"SHAHED" means witness in Farsi, while SHAHEED means martyr. They are not pronounced the same way. One is pronounced as sha'head the other sha' heed.
Wrong shahed means witness
Main Issue is with armed forces only … Example: MMRCA for 126 aircrafts
Their requirements are so out of the world that no country was able to qualify fair n square initially
Then they amended to reduce few requirements; 3 companies qualified.. but they can’t get deal finalized ( price n tot issues )
even now, since 2000 and 23 years later, their is still no deal despite depleted strength
( PMO had to do a lob-side deal , to get 36 aircraft as interim measure)
If this is case for world top manufacturers …
imagine where DRDO would rank as it has to operate in minimal budget, and without any promise of orders
DRDO's efforts in UAV space while spending a very tidy sum hasn't produced anything as capable and effective as Turkey, Iran or Israel. Even Pakistan has more effective drones. It is high time drones manufacturing be shifted to a dedicated separate units with independent resourced and staffed structures working in a goal oriented, end-user compliant and time limited manner. Military planners in the eighties and nineties couldn't foresee the importance of drones in battlefield which was a grave mistake. Still now they don't have confidence in Indian drones and seem confused regarding overall drone strategy and procurement.
DRDO is a waste...taking 500000 cores per year and full of administrative staff from political parties
and the scary point is that Iran's drone industry is far more advanced and lethal than it is revealed to the public ... What is currently known about Iranian drones is the work of at least a decade ago. This is just the tip of the ice berg! Bigger drone stories from Iran coming soon!
True. Iran have much better drones than shahed 136
YES Iranian drones could be used as air defence purpose
IRAN = NATION OF IMAM HUSSAIN (a.s)
We should focus on numbers because they can be reverse engineered if captured make them simple and lethal..
Maybe the #1 lesson should be not pick a fight with the neighbour that's already building 10,000 drones a day in peacetime.
It's not pronounced shaheed (Martyr) but sahid (witness).
Leaving such cutting edge developments to a govt controlled DRDO has huge costs. India’s military industrial complex needs to incorporate the private sector in a big way. Also, we need to explore whether DRDO can be spun off and privatised
Divide DRDO into different small organization, and do healthy competition between them.
Lesson for everybody, drones are impressive tools
Viva Iran
When it comes to weapons, it's not always about how fancy or advanced they are. It's about how effective & more importantly how cost effective they are on the battlefield. Like Stalin said, "quantity has its own quality" Each Patriot missile costs $3 million, each NASAM missile $1 million. Meanwhile each Shahed-136/Geran-2 costs no more than $20,000. According to reports, Ukraine's air defenses are very close to being depleted. Even when they get shot down, it's a win for the Russians. Also, an M777 howitzer costs at least $6 million a piece. Meanwhile each Lancet kamikaze drone costs the Russians no more than $40,000 a piece, likely less. Also recently, Russia began began upgrading their massive, almost endless stockpiles of dumb bombs , like the FAB-500, with conversion / modernization kits, which turns them into GPS guided glide bombs that can be launched at targets from 70 km away.. Keep in mind, the FAB-500 has a 500 KG or 1100 lbs (pound) of explosives. The Shahed-136/Geran-2 has approx 70 lbs and the Lancet 6-7 lbs. Even worst for Ukraine, Russia also has thousands of FAB-1000, FAB-1500 and FAB-2000 bombs. Even the FAB-500 with its 1 ton warhead turns low rises into massive craters. Russia's goal at the moment is to make the war unsustainable for Ukraine & NATO and that's precisely what they're doing.

Neither DRDO or the Indian Military is going to learn any lessons from this. They singularly lack the out of box thinking required.
India process driven. Iran goal driven augmented by ideology.
Stop conducting exams and start getting people with talent.. Just like the cricket talent spotters. DRDO has to conduct competition across India and select the best teams. People are trained to crack exams and not use their heads for other purposes. Creativity or motivation is lagging in the exam clearing mentality people in many cases. Most are trained to get safe jobs .
Have you ever sat in interview of DRDO?
It is almost 1 to 1.5 hour of interview and well rounded interview where question are asked on deeper level. No idiot is going to crack that..
@@nikhilsingh6243 It's not the knowledge that's lagging here, talking of creative skills. Iran, with hardly any access to tech is able to develop drones. Non graduates like Steve jobes, have built a revolutionary company. Can't keep selecting based on education and information filled minds criteria. There are many with no education, building amazing things in this nation. Need to look for people solving real world issues, rather than on paper alone. India with one billion population, can't be without talent.
@@rameshg2717 I can't find sense in your comment hence I choose not to argue with you. We are talking about the field of defence equipments and then you go on about education not being a necessary criteria?
We can surely blame the bureaucracy involving a lot of future plans and the burden on single company for various different equipment development but blaming selection criteria?
It is by far the best...
I think i need to mention is that DRDO is not much financially rewarding as compared to other companies hence a lot of smarter student choose to go another way..
👍 agreed we have the best minds but we employ only those that have the best memory. Rote learning oriented exams is killing creativity. And India is still in that habit. Chance bhi nehi deta hai kuch naya sochne ke liye. There's no room for innovation and unless we nurture innovative minds india will always lag.
Incorrect, China , India, Russia send their children to be educated in America but lots of them stay.🇺🇸
give children drone like toys , the next generation will come up with something amazing in a few years through some local competitions in design and implementation.
Education in Technology, and engineering
India needs NUMBERS & lots & lots of it at cheap prices & export market as well.
DRDO employees treat their job as normal government job.
Can you explain what is DRDO i can not understand
Wow Iran
Quality or numbers? Why not both? Have a baseline of mass produced cheap drones and occasionally sprinkle in the more advanced ones when the cheap ones have softened the enemy up enough
The problem with India is that the moment government eases regulations for India's fast & agile startups to develop new drone solutions, the country starts shouting that the country is being privatized and sold.
It's true that India is a process driven country - we appreciate someone who just has a certain post or job rather than judge on the basis of what they actually achieved doing it.
Innovation cannot be process driven. It's a disruptive industry.
We perhaps need another Kalam in DRDO.
Iran under severe sanctions has surpassed India in terms of drone production. Even Israel with a population of 7 million is leaps & bounds ahead of India. Honestly India needs to get their hands on drones & reverse engineer them. They need to put their engineers to work and fund promising, young prospects.
The greatest stealth is in hiding one's drones until the start of any conflict that directly threatens its interests. In that department, India's defence technological establishment is second to none.
DRDO will be hiding the drones even during times of conflict. The army is happy to have Israeli drones.
How would you know? Maybe Switzerland is the best at hiding their drones.
