Nibe seeks to launch the Skystriker / Vayuastra, 150km Extra, 300km Predator Hawk & Pinaka from the Elbit PULS Suryastra launcher which they intend to indigenize. Vision of universal launcher is good and executed well by Elbit but the path taken by us is certainly debatable.
One advantage of Elbit PULS - Nibe Suryastra is that it uses a 6x6 chassis unlike Pinaka which is 8x8. (Rocket range is platform independent, Pinaka will get there once rockets are developed) - DRDO may do well creating a version of Pinaka which requires only a 6x6 launcher. The same was done for WLR Swathi, will aid deployments in mountains.

However, in recent years, the service has been making concerted efforts to indigenize its weapons suite in line with the country’s flagship “Aatmanirbhar Bharat” initiative.

Say Europe decided to build a frontier model. We do the following: - Poaching founders from top US AI companies, paying them $100 million per year. - Securing a datacenter site the size of Manhattan. - Spending $125 billion on data center construction. Would Europe succeed? Probably not. Mark Zuckerberg is doing all of the above, and his company has not built a frontier model or made much money from selling AI models. Few count Meta as a serious contender in the AI race. Similarly, Elon Musk tried and failed to build a leading AI model, has lost most of xAI's researchers, and is now leasing compute to Anthropic. Instead of pursuing a bureaucratic, multinational 'CERN for AI' project, we need to consider more realistic plans for strengthening Europe’s position. A lot of knowledge on how to strengthen Europe lies within individual European nations' capitals. There, national leaders can think about AI from the perspective of their national interest. The steps they take to make their countries grow, capture future industries, and indigenize parts of the AI stack will do a lot to secure Europe’s position. Those thinking seriously about Europe's position on AI should, in the meantime, develop opinionated policies that individual European nations can pursue to make AI go better for Europe and the world. @pietergaricano and I have written many more thoughts in our latest Substack piece. siliconcontinent.com/p/ninet…

The only positive example I can think of is BrahMos. But, I think we were able to leverage that too purely because of our efforts on indigenous rocket & missile programmes. So, we've been able to iteratively indigenize BrahMos into something arguably better than what Ruskies gave

While other political leaders are fighting for their right to develop and retain their regions, your HOR members was rather pushing that they allow your kinsmen indigenize into other people region cos home isn't actually home for you all

I thought we were supposed to indigenize society. Scalping and taking trophies is what native tribes practiced.

Yes. Scrap Tejas project. Let this be a lesson in eternity, a shame that hangs over IAF, HAL, ADA, MoD, Modi. Our hope is TEDBF with RD93 engines. Even Safran and EJ2000 will cause future problems. RD93 India can prob negotiate tech transfer and indigenize later on.

2) Now, what about IAFs roadmap to indigenize AD radars ?, what about indigenizing a2g weapons like rampage, what plans for indigeneous CCA/MUMT ?, what about dedicated EW platforms like growlers/compass call ?

What resources? Nepal has more than enough electricity production potential and whatever water that goes up comes back down. As for appropriation, its on us to use the incoming surplus capital to indigenize supply chains, u cannot do the latter before the former

Every company should try to indigenize their products and manufacturing. But in general, India doesn't have issues with any countries and is a democratic country which helps and aids any nation of those countries that treats us badly. Look at Maldives, Srilanka and Bangladesh for example. We are more trustworthy than €h!n@ and that's why many countries collaborate with us because we don't have an evil plan to beat anyone and take over.

@AshwiniVaishnaw @PiyushGoyal @nitin_gadkari @PMOIndia please indigenize all construction machinery 😔 🙏
This is a Good advice👇. 🇮🇳 will be spending ₹500 lakh crore in Capex over next 10 years to build infrastructure. Even if Govt gives just 10% of this sum(₹50 lakh crore) for dedicated tech development to substitute all imported tech, it can do wonders for the country.

For @IAF_MCC to be in the driver's seat of any program, it needs to have program executive offices that have personnel who can boast of having been part of numerous projects or have vast manufacturing and management experience. So, the essential question is, are such people from the IAF in the room with us? If not, then it's an institutional failing on their part and largely explains why unlike the @indiannavy it has failed to indigenize and create successful domestic programs.

IZMO Ltd is getting a lot of traction recently, so I decided to share some thoughts. The company operates across 4 divisions - 3 of which are basically SaaS while the 4th one is Izmo Microsystems --> izmostock, izmoauto and frogdata are their legacy SaaS divisions selling stock images of cars, digital marketing for automotive clients and data analytics for automotive industry respectively. While stock imagery and digital media divisions have historically anchored the business, they are facing long-term headwinds and are practically sunset businesses now in the generative AI era. --> Izmo Microsystems represents the company’s high-margin, scalable, deep tech semiconductor ATMP division which is the primary catalyst for investor optimism So far, they have demonstrated capabilities in advanced semiconductor packaging and silicon photonics (although the latter is not good enough for data center use case as of now but good for defence/aerospace purposes from where they are getting almost all their orders for now). The bull case rests on the assumptions that eventually they will be able to tap into the massive $50-100 Billion global TAM but for now this seems like an overblown narrative to pump the stock price (promoters here have a history of overpromising and underdelivering in past as well). Also, the semiconductor fabs in US/Taiwan/Korea are fairly advanced themselves and there is no logical reason for them to outsource such critical tech to Indian foundries in future. So, stating $100 Billion TAM seems to be an exaggerated guidance for a company whose yearly revenue today is barely ~$30 million with no huge orderbook to back the claims. --> The reasonable bull case which I can see is them getting orders in coming years from ISRO and Indian defence-aerospace companies for specific components related to optics/lasers/semiconductors etc. Izmomicro getting hyperscaler data center orders for critical bottleneck components seems very far-fetched as of now. In future, there is a small possibility that data centres being built in India are told to indigenize the supply chain to some extent which could be a big future tailwind. --> Regardless, the stock price currently is driven by future narrative rather than financials and the cheap 30x PE valuation also allows people to take some risk here. I have a small tracking size of this company in my portfolio. Let's see how far they take it based on the narrative alone. Ofc any new order updates would act as sharp triggers for the stock price going ahead.

There's also a thesis/antithesis. If I were to collapse my Blackness into a singularity, it requires the collapse of everyone else. A logic already used by Zionism, collapsing and erasing Palestinians to de-indigenize them as "Arab invaders" and carry the sins of the Arab world.

I don't love sisi. Who told you we are stupid & slaves at heart? We are not like gulf people who worship their kings. We are literally descendants of ancient Egyptians, who are not only the evil pharaoh who drowned with his soldiers, but our lady Asiyah (one of the greatest women), & the righteous magicians who believed in Prophet Musa & the man who came من أقصى المدينة يسعى hurrying to Prophet Musa to warn him, & Hagar the mother of Ismail & Maria Alqibtiyya. And the entire huge country & civilization. And lying about our ancestry is haram. Also allowing these people to de-indigenize us allows for what happened in Palestine and is literally zionist propaganda.
I don't understand why you're so proud and forcefully trying to claim you're descendants of Pharaoh. As a Muslim why on earth would you even want to claim that? Let alone be so proud of it! I guess I understand why so many stupid Egyptians love Sisi... You're slaves at heart.

"Jewish Blood" comes from race-scienctists who laid the work for European Nationalist movements. Including the Jewish Zionists who implemented it via Judaism for the Judaization of Palestine to erase, other, and de-indigenize Palestinians. It's a racist anti-Palestinian notion.

His tears amount to shit if he's not going to indigenize defense.
Even Defence Minister is fighting it hard to control tears. Imagine the level of stress soldiers undergo when they see their own going down. Tremendous mental strength.

Afrobeats owes producers a great deal, particularly the pioneers who did the heavy lifting of locating the Nigerian idioms through which to indigenize Hip-Hop. Paul Play belongs to this league of extraordinary gentlemen alongside OJB Jezreel, Omololu and Nelson Brown, who encoded the DNA of what would become Afrobeats - @JollyPaps1

I agree that it is not bag technological feat! But main point over here is, Pakistan already has mil. level operational access to chinese satellites. Pakistan alreade has a space command under its airforce. This effort is only to indigenize the capabilities. (1/2)

Truth: “The world’s worst parents are aboriginal.” Schools: “We must Indigenize everything we do.”
Replying to @JimMcMurtry01
50% of aboriginal kids in MB have an open CFS file. 27% of them are in care of CFS. 10% of them have been permanently seized from their parents. The worst fate for any MB child is to be conceived within the womb of an aboriginal mother. The world’s worst parents are aboriginal.
