Although this is a welcome development , I recall reading not so long ago China's testing platforms & armaments such as these , which can be delivered at heights above 12000 ft possibly much more .

Does anyone know if these systems can replicate such a performance ?

which makes the Indian defence industry comparable to turkey defence industry 12 billion $ in 2022, while their export component is bigger for now.
Turkey exported 12 billion USD worth of arms ? If so how's our ~ 2 billion USD worth of exports comparable to Turkey ? Or is that figure you've quoted for Turkey a typo ?

their total production is 12 billion, exports about 4 billion in 2022.

The June report for Turkey’s Defense and Aerospace Industry Manufacturers Association (SASAD) indicated an increase of over 20 percent in the revenue of the defense and aerospace industry sector in 2022 compared to the previous year, reaching $12.2 billion. Spearheaded by the mushrooming sales of its UCAVs—especially the Baykar TB2 drones—Turkey’s defense industry exports hit a record of more than $4.4 billion in 2022, increasing by more than 36 percent compared to 2021.

Ah yes , history repeats itself with the Arabs bringing in Turks as mercenaries to shore up their base in their internecine wars with the Persians , the first time around & before they realise what's happening the Turks seize power to play kingmaker deciding which puppet to hoist on the throne of the Caliph & now we've a repetition of the same with a variation.

Truly the more things change the more they're the same.

This is what called diplomatic jaziya
A fully indigenous product is ready and that too produced by private sector and yet we go for screwdrivergiri for the sake of military hardware diplomacy and make in India. They just killed our product's economies of scale and export potential. Not to mention the potential leverage lost which we can have with our own Hardware on other nations. Rather we will depend on US even more.
I am convinced now that India can never be a superpower. We really lack the seriousness, foresight and will required for it. At best , it will be a middle power

I'm convinced army didn't ask for op specific turret modules on the WhAP on purpose. They were even lukewarm towards the BMT turret and never even asked for a 105mm low recoil gun or VSHORAD or ATGM capability either. Deflecting with amphibious today but not tomorrow, portholes, driver's position and other nonsense. Their plan for the last decade or so was to always induct the Stryker. The Indian army currently abhors being the first combat testers of new Indian equipment. They are eager to induct weapon systems developed and tested or certified by another country. Sheer laziness and using the first days of INSAS as an excuse to continue ignore weapon systems developed in India, unless forced by the Gov. But they kept the citizens fooled by "field testing" the WhAP aimlessly for years, taking it on joyrides in Ladakh and coming to no conclusion after all that testing. "Atmanirbhar India" is proving to be a scam if this is how things will continue.

Yes sir
We have many vulnerabilities but u can keep anything on table but not ur industry
U have to be rigid on that
Negotiate with something else
There are many other juicy things favouring them
