Can India Break The Shackles Of Foreign Arms? | Chakravyuh | EP 38

On this Independence Day special episode of Chakravyuh, host Gaurav Sawant speaks with  former Chief of Air Staff RKS Bhadauria about India's quest for defence self-reliance. They examine India's dependence on foreign weapons and fighter engines, the unfinished Kaveri engine programme, and why technological sovereignty is essential for future wars. The discussion also explores whether buying foreign fifth-generation fighters such as the Su-57 could undermine the indigenous AMCA programme, and how India can build a stronger ecosystem around drones, AI, missiles and indigenous defence technology.
