You see why we developed even more smaller version?
This IISC flying wing small uav was for this purpose only like magma,magma succeed in Fluidic TVC but they could not scale it up,but we succeed in scaling such tech from 1:15 demonstrator to 1:7 demonstrator aka swift.

So those who say swift is RC toy plane they should better not speak

Video Released!! Check out the Swift Stealth UCAV prototype on a runway test, precursor to the Gharak UCAV.

The remainder video is for those not aware of the Rs 3000 crore Project Cheetah - arming of the Heron drones etc.

Very interesting. But @Karthi, I wish you had included some details of this capsule. I will for you!!

Samudrayaan is India's ambitious deep-sea exploration mission, a capsule built to dive into the depths of the ocean (6kms) that will place the country in an elite list of about six nations that have operated manned, deep-sea probes for exploration, studies, and research.

Scientists had recently tested a basic version of the human-carrying shell of the Samudrayaan mission, off the Chennai coast. However, this was a steel hull meant for demonstration and had only been sent to a depth of 500m, as opposed to the original titanium hull that would have to dive 6km deep in the sea.

Thats quite a big CEP, I thought CEP of Agni-5 would be somewhere around 40m.
But its still better when compared to contemporaries like DF-31A, Topol-M, Yars, Trident, Minuteman-III

All of these so called contemporaries are over 10,000 km range, the challenges of maintaining a low CEP is much higher.

 

[Chinmoy]

SAAW also tested, or PIB confused the names?

SAAW tested in Pokhran, LRB tested in Chandipur.

Agni 5 and other varaints Scored 10m CEP sometimes less than 10m still DRDO didn't claimed it's CEP is 10 . They said less than 100m they set the limit 100 that's why .

INS Anvesh

Is Anvesh operational? This is the ship from which missiles can be tested, as opposed to the missile tracking Dhruv.
