[JBH22]

are we developing our close combat missiles ??

Why not!! Our list of projects exceeds our core competency. We know everything just it gets never translated into credible inventory levels
Take the case of planes, never had experience with manufacturing planes. Still struggling with a fairly plane vanilla plane such as LCA, yet our designers are concurrently developing carrier based planes, 5th Gen planes, Unmanned planes, upgrading LCA to MK2. Yes we do all that on paper, but on ground 'ghanta'.
Sometimes I wonder the UNAF desire for imports is due to reality much more than lobby 'gifts'

Rawl 03 isn't indigenous at all

There is some degree of indigenous subsystems in the BEL-Saab partnership made BEL vs Nothing in the TATA-INDRA Lanza partnership which is just local assembly.

Or maybe the military sabotaged many projects ?
The military wants the best , like a bottle of scottish single malt .

Deep Earth penetrator.

No, not LRP, definitely bunker buster

Once IAF is done with SEAD/ DEAD Ops... The final step will be this Tungsten rod at >Mach 5-7 Speed on strategic underground bunkers for missiles and senior army officers. Instant conversion of 30-50 feet deep bunkers into graveyard.

FOBS (WHICH CHINA HAS RECENTLY BUILT)

this thing has surely spooked the pentagon.

I wonder that, the missile we saw in an interview of drdo, which was rumored to be multiple kill vehicle can be used as fobs also

Russkies already demonstrated it in Cold war era and people believe Chinese spooked Pentagon with this now.
