Gotta give credit to DRDO, they have not been slacking even with the COVID. CLGM, Shaurya, SMART, News of another new project trialing soon - 125mm tank launched ATGMs, etc. Great job.

Aint that interesting. User put it off for the longest, response to the recent events I assume.

If they're ditching the Korea K30 which competed with an upgraded Russian Tunguska, I am assuming the requirement DRDO is trying to meet is for a replacement similar to those two competitors. Upgraded Shilka been around for a while now, but the IA was still trialing the other AA platforms. I...

Dont think so, it'll be a better integrated system with possible dual cannons, manpads, and a radar along the lines of what is in India already the Russian Tunguska and the Korean offering of the K30 hanhwa.

Old image of Nag, but good quality image.

Kavach anti-missile naval decoy system

IAF MRSAM Launcher

I would like that too in a way considering the urgency, but they might be too expensive to be mass produced then to find out they arent working right in that theater of war. I think a lot of gaps have to be filled in the India-China border.

Plus the IP belongs to TATA I assume. Tejas has several foreign LRUs, critical sub systems it relies on today, but if industry, or DRDO produces acceptable substitutes, it wont be much of a hassle to modify the platform. Tejas mark 1 is leading to several off shots based on it as well. However...

Im a big fan of this gun. Probably not fair to Elbit, because Athos was trialing before Bharat 52, Dhanush, and ATAGS, but I rather Bharat 52 get all Elbits orders. Israelis are helping Bharat Forge with their arty programs anyway.

I've heard little about mark 2 of late. Last thing I heard was that reliance has fabricated and delivered a hull to CVRDE. And this was years ago.

Anti IR paint produced by private and public firms. Developed by DRDO. Applied by Heavy Vehicles Factory-OFB.

Private sector wont be just be sub system manufacturers, but whole system manufacturers. As far as serious R&D, I dont expect them do it just yet. Let them get orders, set up manufacturing, testing facilities, not even DRDO was doing major R&D across the board before the 2000s, other than...

Kalyani one looks bizarre though Considering there's a decent amount of them trialing I hope IA isnt remotely considering any imports in this category. I dont think it's in the current import ban, but it has to be in the next, imo.

Armored vehicle platforms got to be on that list.

Seems like a big change from the older tatras. They have shown a facelifted tatra recently.

Yeah, I call it the 'OFB finish'.

Yeah, they made both tracked and wheeled 105mm self-propelled artillery. With the Dhanush 155mm 52 cal they will do the same thing wheeled tracked will eventually come
