There seems to no info on this amogha-1 prior to today. Let's hope they have worked on a GSQR, else this will go no where.

It is a second generation ATGM so hopefully it will be beam riding .

Amogha-1 was derivative of CLGM which is in turn a derivative of HELINA again which is in turn a derivative of NAG.

Made in India matters not the make in India.
