Seeking technological independence is something I respect, France chose that and look at us now, selling some of the best military tech in the world… The issue is they’re not always investing into the right things, but slowly they’re gaining experience
Which lead to many problems like the tajas engine.
Amca being delayed for like 20 years now
Naval air force complete dead
Tejas mk2 being also delayed
Empty tejas mk1a with no engine sitting in hangar
Ships burning
And many more

Meteor suits Rafale, but Astra equips diverse platforms like Su-30MKI and future Tejas Mk-2

Damn didn’t expect m rafale to do so badly
Its far easy to intergrate a a meteor than to do a complex new project
That’s them financing the wrong stuff, it’s a different issue…
Thats exactly my point. They’re giving money to the project with only thing in mind and ( made in india )
Who lead to many loses and delays
MBDA refused earlier Su-30mki/Tejas integration

Exactly, it’s why they should rely on imports mostly. At least those things can get it right and on time
Sure, but that doesn’t mean making indigenous missiles is a bad thing… Some recent events in geopolitics (I won’t specify but surely you know what I mean) showed that allies can’t always be trusted forever, so technological independence is key on something as sensitive as military power
They kind of have to use their own stuff
The NATO isn’t happy with India’s choice to buy Russian equipment and there is a realistic chance of them no longer being able to procure European weapons at some point
Its not money waste it helps building autonomy without sole dependence

There a big difference of making feom ground zero project and russian being the angel to give them 90% of the techs like they are doing with su57
Relying on imports stops a nation from being a military power, geostrategically it’s disastrous
