It won't take that long. We don't have time. I think they will complete the very necessary tests within 6 months and mass production will begin.

Will be be ready in 1-2 years though?

The current plan seems to be production with the South Korean powerpack. I doubt they would have gone with the south korean powerpack if mass production with the domestic powerpack was possible in 1 year.

I think we will not use S. Korean Power Pack. I have no proof. Just a personal opinion.
