Arunji,



By all accounts, a connector in the cable meant to tranfer control commands got dosconnected. Is'nt this out and out a QC problem (negligence during assembly/sabotage)? Sabotage is a serious possibility.



We find this even after rectification steps were taken after the 2 A-II failures in 2009. Or are the two programs totally disconnected ? Maybe putting all critical manufacturing facilities directly under the SFC would help improve QC. Nehruvaadi "chalta hai" in this business is dangerous to

national security.
