|
5.1
The defence ministry recently cleared acquisition of 114 Rafale fighter jets from France for Rs.3.25 lakh crore, underscoring India’s ongoing reliance on imported arms. The piece cites low DRDO R&D share (3.94% of the 2025-26 defence budget), shortages in jet engines, AESA radars, and testing infrastructure, and compares India’s trajectory unfavorably with China. It urges major investment to build indigenous high-end military technology.
