DRDO, PSU and Private Defence Sector News

[Raj Malhotra]

OFB only recently has been allowed to spend money on Defence R&D, hence some Reverse Engineered products are coming out. But Annual R&D Budget is still very limited Rs. 100 cr per annum

Is this one scrapped?.. What's the present status?

I mean, can this be rendered for AMCA & TEDBF?

 

[Bleh]

450 kg penetration
warhead

Important.

Is this one the NG-LGB to be Sudarshan replacement or will continue using imported kit.

What can you tell me on NG-LGB & PGHSLD-500. Same thing?

It's clearly written that ng-lgb will use......Griffin /paveway 2 and nllgb kits...
So it seems a new indigenous guidance kit is in development

 

[Bhadra]

Looks like the copied Browning they are using.

Compare this beast of more than 30kg with this AMR and then one realises how OFB is just incapable of making anything useful..

which bomb is this?

 

[Bleh]

which bomb is this?

PGHSLD-500... Which I think was meant to progress from Sudarshan.

Yes, but could this be that guidance kit?..

...that's what I need to know.
I am asking because I know that Griffin-kit had problem attaching with HSLD bombs (initially). That new penetration warhead is shaped like HSLD. Why will we continue to use Griffin on it, while we have our own?

Should it be rendered for MWF & TEDBF with Griffin?.. Or with Sudarshan kit?

It is going to make one hell of a noise for the drone.

 

[Chinmoy]

Looks like the copied Browning they are using.

Written M2HB, means license production. Not copied.

is this developed by drdo?

 

[Chinmoy]

My question.
why in LCH we have bent wings and not straight as in cobra or Apache?

Because of construction procedure and materials used. Moreover those wings are not just for pylon use. Due to its size and operating altitude, those do also act for lift purpose. So you need them flexible enough.

 

[Chinmoy]

is this developed by drdo?

Yes. Already in use on a different system.

 

[patriots]

Yes. Already in use on a different system.

So it with nal suchan uav

CSIR - National Aerospace Laboratories

[Chinmoy]

Oh then rustom 2 is flying with this

That is unknown. Only in news it is coming that it completed its SATCOM flight and other tests. But whether this payload has been integrated in it or not is not known to me.
