Kaveri was funded (inadequately, of course). Kaveri Derivative Engine has also been funded. But what was *never* funded is the major test infrastructure & special manufacturing capabilities that you really need to develop fighter-class low-bypass turbofan engines. All of that

Btw, The Indian Government has just notified Rules under the 'Inter-Services Organisations (Command, Control & Discipline) Act 2023' with the aim of bolstering "effective command, control, and efficient functioning of Inter-Services Organisations".

There is now no alternative to an Integrated Gas Turbine Development Programme with multiple projects running simultaneously. This will not be cheap. And will required technical personnel from overseas as well. But not doing it will leave India with a very poor hand.

The world is in an intense era of technological competition. National Security will be shaped not by written doctrines based on concepts derived from 'area studies' but much more on timely investments in technology, civil-military fusion and supply chain resilience.

A whole bunch of Airfields in Eastern and North Eastern India need to be revived and hardened. They'll serve the purpose of both providing dispersal / relief airfields during conflict as well as a home for surveillance assets during peacetime. Civilian use may also be explored.

I distinctly remember a former Hindustan Shipyard Limited CMD telling me that his shipyard had been transferred to the Ministry of Defence to augment submarine building capacity among other things. It is high time that concerted moves were made in that direction.

Your Marine gas turbines will come out of a Kaveri-follow on project only. If India manages to develop and put into serial use a fifth-generation low bypass turbofan, the following derivatives are virtually guaranteed if you invest concurrently: 1. 15 MW class Marine Gas

So, Ukraine has basically carried out a conventional counterforce mission. Let us see what the Russian response will be. This has taken things much closer to the threshold than some hyped up stuff in Kirana hills.
