Do we need an indigenous flying test or do we need a flying test bed to test the engine? GoI paid for all their trips to get it tested. Were they on a vacation there?Blank check what a joke!!
We never have flying test bed even to certify engine we don't have anyone at the first place we don't have the ecosystem to build a fighter jet engine and amount you are talking about if they make a working prototype of a fighter jet engine in this amount then they have done a tremendous job!!
Whose job was it to make that ecosystem? They asked for 300 crores at first. We have that. They then asked for 1100 crores. Granted. They then asked for 2800 crores. Given. They couldn’t even spend it all and left 700 crores. This is the very definition of blank check.
Given the kind of support they got, they have done a shameful job and we Indians have to hang our heads in shame.
