And it's much the same with the rest of the Indian MIC. Every time they try to develop a natively designed system, be it a rifle, a tank, or a fighter jet, it ends up hilariously bad and nowhere near the quality of "comparable" weapons systems from other "peer" countries. They're even inferior to systems typically considered to be on the lower end of acceptable quality and performance, such as from Russia or China. To even have a hope of having an effective military, India is nearly entirely dependent on other countries and their MICs.
