Question

Both A-50EI Phalcon and DRDO Netra are AEW&C (Airborne Early Warning and Control) Systems: This statement is partially correct. A-50EI Phalcon is indeed an AEW&C system, but DRDO Netra is also an AEW&C system. Both systems are used for early detection and control of airborne threats. Therefore, this statement is correct.
Both A-50EI Phalcon and DRDO Netra have been indigenously developed by DRDO: This statement is not entirely correct. A-50EI Phalcon is based on Israeli technology and is a modified version of the Russian IL-76 aircraft platform with an Israeli Phalcon radar system. While it has been customized for Indian requirements, it is not considered indigenous in the same way as DRDO Netra.
