For a short notice (such an) event India might be in trouble unless some other nation/supplier comes forward with a better cost or commitment to some sort of alliance/favour or support and solidarity. If it happens not in a war like situation then the contract was broken by the supplier and India is fully capable of using those manufacturer's patents and manual as recipe book just like China has been doing for decades. Now, that country can't go their government or Indian government and say - "hey, look we screwed India and now it's screwing us back". If you wanted a short an final answer - then yes, India will be in trouble.

They were rhetorical questions in response to 'why should it be an issue'. India is fully capable of using those manufacturer's patents and manual as recipe book The article gives some examples of India failing to do exactly that. "It'll be alright on the night" is okay in theatre productions, because the worst that can happen is an evening's spoiled entertainment and you get a do-over the next night. Doesn't really work that way with national security if you're expecting it'll all come together once a war sparks.

  >>The article gives some examples of India failing to do exactly that. No, it doesn't. It mentions DRDO being not very efficient but that's because politicians are more interested in buying than start manufacturing. Engineers are made to sit duck, do bullshit PPTs and just sign the papers, oversee tenders and purchases. And I don't know about tank story. DRDO cannot start making copies of Ak47 and GE engines on a whim. State decides that. >>Tejas It's a pretty good fighter plane. You can see it in action on tube :-) >>It'll be alright on the night Atleast I never said that. Fine if you are making a general benevolent observation. That article talks about a lot of things that stands good and there other (majority) which pure speculative bull.
