What are the other two system apart from ALBrahmos and Agni? Is it PDV and AAD?

If Boosted Fission Warhead's Yield was 200kt, what could be the possible yield for Thermonuclear (TN) warhead?

It depends on the design. I think they would use LiD derivative for fusion part. If Li7D would be used, yield would be around 3 times more then Li6D.

Why do you say this?

Any links or explanation or observations etc. on the matter.

Fantastic Job..Noor
From where you getting all this info..?

 

[Zero-Sum-Game]

I wanted to enquire about the mortar modernization efforts undertaken by the army?

 

[tharun]

Which is the best missile ejection system for the launch of Surface-to-air missiles?
Can some one give me technical pictures or documentation on them.

"PROJECT PRAHAAR"
So, what's cooking at DRDO? Seems, this isn't the Prahaar Ballistic Missile, but a different Prahaar SAM/ABM.
Interesting takeaway words/ phrases are "Cannister", "Area Defense", "Cannisters are made vertical to launch...", "..steered to the target

 

[Khagesh]

Area Defence is clearly mentioned in the first sentence.

Area Defence is clearly mentioned in the first sentence.

Yes, but what could it mean? Aren't SAMs used for Area Defense?

You read it wrongly as Air Defence - Area Air Defence, Point Air Defence being subsets and people can get confused if not careful. Probably a hang over from Thaad.

Area defence while understandable is also somewhat novel.

Moreover there is nothing to suggest that DRDO is working on one more SAM. They already have a comprehensive enough portfolio in this regard

So, its the same Prahaar Ballistic Missile and not any new SAM?

No one knows what DRDO perspective in terms of Area defense.
But Thaad is area defense weapon.

This doesn't seem to be a SAM.

DRDO NG-ARM to pack a 60kg explosive punch to f*ck up enemy radars. That's how the warhead looks like in our desi ARM which will be, ofcourse, inserted in the missile cone.

Seems it is more about taking out the whole establishment infra rather then the RADAR itself. Jingos in IAF who had cried on the weight of NGARM would be dishearten to know this. Shedding half the weight of explosive, it would be around 100kg mark which they had wanted. Still with this much of explosive, this missile would be one hell of a beast for RADAR infrastructure.

The new BPJ for our Indian army looks delicious AF

 

[NeXoft007]

Here's another DRDO tactical product you might take a look at

 

[NeXoft007]

Here's new & improved DRDO CBRN Suit Mk. V

 

[tharun]

DRDO should start working on disposable rocket launcher like RPG-26,27,28 or RPO-A shmel.
They can be carried by each soldier..no need of specialist soldier for rocket launching.
@Kunal Biswas What is the approx price of each 84mm rocket used by IA.
