From the article above.

"Their successful completion will clear the acquisition of 150 ATAGS for Rs 3,365 crore, which will be divided among the two developers. These however are only initial GSQR trials and the field evaluation and user trials are still some way off. Going by the army’s laborious procedures, it could be at least five years before an order for the ATAGS is placed.“
Are we suppose to laugh or cry now. This doesn't even make sense. So they did five years of trials and called it GSQR trials. There will be another round of field trials? It's not making sense to me now. So no new 155 guns for another decade?

L&T is trying to give heart attack to TATA and BF.

3,365 Cr for 150 guns makes it a 22 Cr/piece against 10 Cr/piece of ATHOS. In that way, there is no meaning of bringing in private parties into production.

MKU tankers helmet with integrated ear protection

Sure this is MKU’s/IA’s? Don’t think IA took any armour with them to INDRA-21 so it would be odd to take their own tanker/crew helmets

Nirbhay clearly has some deepseated teething issues... it's not the engines because Manik actually succeeded & the one with Russian engine crashed a few times.

Guns, drones & subsonic Cruise missiles are the field India have been stumbling at.

Probably lack of experience in missile designing is the problem, similar teething issues hunting Rustom project also.. both are designed by ADE, Banglore

A decade of "teething issues".

I don't know man... there's got to be something that's troubling the program.
We should have had 1000kh Nirbhay ALCM by now.

Nice^. Any info about the specific Indian input into this aircraft? You figure it would be considerable. Probably not the engine.
