After receiving an overwhelming response in our previous episode about Chinese sixth generation aircraft, ThePrint's consulting editor for strategic and foreign affairs, Dr. Swasti Rao is back with a compelling discussion with retired Group Captain Ajay Ahlawat, a seasoned military veteran with over 28 years of experience as an IAF fighter pilot. Having flown both Russian and Western aircraft, Group Captain Ahlawat provides a nuanced perspective on India’s defence strategy specially on Kaveriengines and Indegnous fighter aircraft Tejas MK-1.The conversation explores the pressing need for a cohesive national security strategy, the evolving role of the Kaveri engine in India’s indigenous combat drones, and the inclusion of private players in the defence sector. It also addresses the reliance on imports for critical technologies, the importance of choosing reliable geopolitical partners, and the challenges surrounding Transfer of Technology (ToT). This thought-provoking dialogue sheds light on the complexities of India’s defence landscape and the steps needed to achieve self-reliance.
