>Arjun MBT
>Tejas fighter
>INSAS rifle

why can't the Indians design and build anything that doesn't suck? That's just the stuff I'm aware of, I'm sure there's more.
>wha wah Brahmos
That's a Russian missile which they just painted the Indian flag on.

Because India is the most stratified society on earth. You have neurosurgeons sharing buildings with literal street shitting apes and their procurement process reflects this.

But... that's the opposite of stratified.

That rifle looks like a first-generation automatic rifle from the 1950s, like the FAL or M-14. What the fuck are they playing at?

Swap it with an acceptable word then

This is like the fifth Arjun thread I've seen in the last week. What gives?

it's honestly a miracle that one of their ICBMs hasn't blown up yet

You're right in that Indian society is rigidly stratified but that analogy was off. But then again all societies are like that. America doesn't get homeless nogs off the street to do RnD for the F-35.
>>
>>65198295
Well it's my first. I'm just using the Arjun as an example as it's a highly-visible illustration of the failure of Indian technology, design, production etc despite decades of development and vast expenditure of effort and money to produce something which barely works and is nowhere near the best.

If you take the wide view version you can play spot the poop and some of the parade views of the Arjun are the exact same.

Because they are a retarded cargo cult. The only thing they can do is cobble together shit sold to them yet they can't even do that right.
>pic rel is their attempt at making a wheeled BMP where they left behind massive holes in the armor meant for the torsion bars and didn't even bother removing the track fenders.
Even your 3 examples had massive design input from competent militaries, but they mostly ignored that input outside of the basic shape and went "waow 1000% make in india ja hind!!!".

>>65198279
Corruption. Their society is hyper-corrupt. Also the stratification of their society plays another huge role in the generalized incompetence. Arab and Muslim countries with a couple of exceptions here and there also suffer from this.
>>
>>65198649
>they mostly ignored that input
This is a common theme through any dealings with India and you can see why it would be once you understand that they value face (izzat) just as much as any other region where the concept has taken hold. IMO, India will be nothing more than what it is unless they dump that, and quite a few other cultural concepts (they won't).
>>
>>65198649
Basically they need to bring back the bongs and get back to being a servile race that gets told what to do. They're just not smart enough to make it on their own
>>
>>65198279
probably because they have 3rd world problems such as lack of funding, corruption, brain drain, poor education
>>
>>65198708
The weird thing is, izzat is an imported muzzie/paki thing. It's not native to jeets. So it shouldn't be a factor in the South, where muzzie ideas didn't manage to disseminate too much.

sar plz study Abhra, Akash, VSHORAD, Anant Shastra, capitol dome

But America does get Joe Random Whiteboy from a state university to do real, tangible successful R&D for the F35, because heritage Americans have a 100 IQ mean while heritage Indians are 82 on a good day. America not only has a larger supply of high and middle talent, it can rely on a support infrastructure of honest and ethical mid/low talent holding everything together for the elites to do their thing.

They are at least better than chink or russian equipment because they use quality western components that doesn't fail suddenly
>>
>>65198755
don't forget the depressing part, which is that India is irreversibly polluted, faces existential water security issues thanks to disappearing glaciers, and will become more and more inhospitable to human life every year for the rest of history due to rising temperatures. India's best days are behind it.

Paki bots get really confused by Iran regime infighting.

Arjun is literally not a failure though. It's requirement was for a time when the Americans were going to sell the Pakis the M1 Abrams.
Arjun is too heavy to be used and airlifted to most terrains in India.
The requirement died when the Pakis were too broke to afford the Abrams and instead went for Ukrainian t-80's which resulted in India buying and funding the t-90 program. Retarded martshitters with bare ones knowledge shouldn't talk.
Tejas isn't a failure either. It's a pretty capable fighter with a huge variety of munitions at its disposal.
The only fuck up was depending on the useless Americans for engines when we could easily just use the Russian rd-33 instead and made a export friendly thirdie fighter.
Insas is a genuine failure though. It has had QC issues.but the newer variants are massively improved with the Ugram and the MSMC (Black Ops fame)

You are Gay and American lol.

Kek, even with decent QC it would still be a mediocre and very outdated fighter.
>The only fuck up was depending on the useless Americans for engines when we could easily just use the Russian rd-33 instead and made a export friendly thirdie fighter.
Hilariouse cope, but -500 izzat for being extra retarded. Russian engines are the worst in the world with terrible lifetimes.

They're too busy getting hit by trains to show up to work
