This is a fresh engine indeed, Hope other UAVs also get upgraded with it ..

It can carry Helina under-wings and under fuselage if possible, No forces yet have made requirement to carry freefall PGMs. Their will be 6 prototypes yet to come, This are basic prototypes and one cannot judge based on these design about future, Best keep assumption at one side ..

That is very true, Its a speculation right now .. We will see in time ..

I doubt that. Firstly their is no need for making three different engines of different specifications from thrust to weight and dimensions, I can take Manik is close to specification for a cruise missile engines but not other two .. Second suspicion is the dimension and weight so does thrust...

Do we have any Photoshop artist who can make a model of Rustom 2 with small jet engines instead of propellers and payload of HELINAs under wing .. ? It might give a general idea abt its final looks at least in theory ..
