This is fake news.

Rendering is from the last competition in which L&T was not even part of. Putting L&T logo just makes it deliberate.

It's a Design Contract. Till it's finalised, everything else is a 'render' including the one you posted, which itself says "latest rendering".
That said, I do understand that it's a CPP contract awarded to 4 consortiums, L&Y being one of them. So don't call it fake. Incomplete koo.... maybe.

Where does it say design? Check the date again, its from 2018. And what does this render has to do with L&T?

If it's from 2018, all the more reason to wait for further updates and not jump at calling it fake. This is 2021. So there might actually be an update.

Edit:
Competition includes ship design. Refer to last para

According to information released by the British Government on September 1, 2021, contracts have been awarded to four consortia of companies to develop their bids to build three new Fleet Solid Support (FSS) ships for the British Royal Fleet Auxiliary and the British Royal Navy.

The contracts will enable bidders to develop their design proposals and the next stage will seek details of how they would fulfil the wider delivery needs of the programme. Assessment of these proposals will lead to the selection of a preferred bidder and award of the manufacturing contract.

My problem is with the render and L&T logo with it. We just automatically assume that L&T won something huge.

The only major problem we are facing with alpha-s is compound seeker,it did not work as intended

Follow up for alpha s drone,for bigger drone

Wasn't alfa-s supposed to be 1-2m long. The engine seems bigger to me. Thats why I was asking about the scale.

This ain't for alpha but even for a bigger drone powered by piston engine
