Defence Acquisitions & Procedures

We need to be logical, rational and balanced in our Views. Everything can't be 'wrong', improvements are needed everywhere. Can't discredit the System en bloc. We need to understand our defence industry capabilities 'holistically', and needs of the Armed Forces in real terms.
