Yes. Check weight of the missile and it's open missile and not a canister missile and so is not cold ready to use missile. Needs preparation to launch. Not good for high intensity war which may need faster response...
I always confuse my replies when it comes to your posts 😅

I dont why 🤔

I thought you was talking about A1P, then realised you talking about A3

Sorry bro 🤗

Anyways A-3 not obsolete perse & perse it is protected thought not as much as it would be in a canister , also lets say launch time ~ 5 minutes +- here & there

the foreign drones like the predators, reapers , heron. searchers etc all proclaim ranges of 1000's+ km , then why is the range of the Tapas just 250km or is it capable to reach those ranges but we just haven't sent it that far or we do not have the communication capability to send it that far????

Someone please explain

actually in the article that was in the above post stated that during the tests they had reached operational ranges of 250km and that test was done in Nov 2020.

So I was just wondering when the Tapas BH has comparable endurance to most of the UAS then why was its range so less.

So if according to the video the range with SatComm is 1000+ km, then maybe in the Nov 2020 test they just checked high altitude endurance and the loiter time only and not how far can the drone reach......

If you'd search the range of other uavs such as heron or MQ9 predator they would give ferry range figure.
Similarly rustom ferry range is 1000+km and that's quite good.

Line of sight control ~ 300 km

Non line of sight control ~ 1000s of km

Rustom 2 has both modes

During tests line of sight mode is tested first extensively and only after that non line of sight ( using satcom ) testing begins
