Bro pinaka luncher carries 12 pinaka s
But grad luncher carries 40 rockets
So lower the calibre Higher the number of rockets.....so I believe a 122 mm rocket is going to replace the same
It is only the rocket they are going to replace right,not the whole system of trucks and other support vehicles

Most of the work on the superstructure is complete. The ELM-2248 MFSTAR arrays have been installed.

Noob question. Can we use engines for tanks and IFV, in heavy military trucks?
Ashok Leyland already uses the Neptune series of in house designed engines in it's Super Stallion series. The FAT meant for Dhanush and already in service uses this Neptune engine.

Tata uses Cummins engines in its 6 by 6 ,8x8 , 10x10 and 12x12 HMV.

Yep. INS Vikrant and INS Vikramaditya with their respective battle groups.

INS Chakra leading these two carriers. It will be a sight to watch .
Oh right forgot we are missing a N-attack sub for this CBG, possiblity of another lease perhaps.

Vikrant is one hell of a sexy ship, a catobar version of her would be mouth watering

Isn't LM2500 was licenced produced by L&T in past? has HAL reversed engineered it ?

We should be standardizing LM2500 engines across all our Naval platforms before electric propulsion takes over.
