Dont agree . Like I said it does go hand in hand but it all comes to the effort and money.
Missiles also have to go through various modifications so as to be tested against enemy radars systems and missile defence system( which are always updating at much faster pace) and you have to set a whole different unit to operate it ...so more manpower and resources etc.
I know . Honestly I too got up when I saw his speech was going too long.
But again he was there when missions had failed too and giving long speeches back then too .
Him coming a little later to address would have been very much appreciated but again our politicians run high on taking credits for most of things. It is normal now. They like to be in limelight when remarkable things are happening.
if I put it simply our politicians are just like bollywood actors and actresses . Just like how they like to be in limelight when movies are coming out but atleast Mr.PM was equally there in failure too. So cut him some slack.
