Lets see indigenization work in IAF: Modi ordered 83 Tejas MK1A at the cost of 50K crTo achieve fast delivery he sanctioned 1238 cr for errection of second production line which is capable of delivering 8 Tejas/yr.
So by 2020 HAL capacity to deliver Tejas will be 16/yr. This 83 plus existing order of 40 will complete by 2023-24Tejas MK 2 design has been finalised. Its first prototype will fly by Dec 2022 n go into production by 2024-25. IAF has shown interest in 201 Tejas MK 2
After Tejas MK 2 we have prestigious project of AMCA which is equivalent of Rafale. Design work going onAfter 2035-2040 barring Rafale all IAF fighter planes will be Indian either different version of Tejas or AMCA
If ADA n HAL succeeds in designing n flying prototypes of Tejas MK 2 n AMCA as per schedule we will see HAL developing into a giant companyIt orders will be booked for atleast next 2 decades with triplying of capacity
Rahul Gandhi is absolutely lying when he says Modi is weakening HAL. He is using general lack of interest in Indian public about defence matters to derail indigenization of defenceMany nationalist cites Chinese example n ask why GOI not acting against christian missionaries
They overlook one factor China knew about the wicked aims of missionaries from 1960's. First they achieved self sufficiency in defence n certain economic stabilitySame roadmap chosen by Modi. All our defence equipments come from Christian countries n enemy is muslim UMMAH
Modi has concentrated on economy n got a fair deal of success. Now the target is defence indigenization by 2028Global arm lobby n the strong import lobby will use all tricks n weapons at its disposal to derail this with help of some dalal politicians.
Friends the list of order given by Modi is very long, can't accomodate in a thread. It covers attack helicopters, tanks, radars, electronic jammers, missiles, work on aircraft carrier, drones, next generation warfare techniques. We have developed over own GPS system NAVICS.
Just stay solidly behind a patriotic leader like Modi. We will be directly benefitted by this Make in India defence as lakhs of jobs will be opened for first time for IndiansDon't fall prey to whatsapp messages by congress n import lobbies. Counter with this thread data
Thanks for patiently reading this long thread

GOI decides to target 85 countries for defence product export . Defence attaches will receive fund of $50K for promoting PSU n private defence product.
