Anyone knows when will defexpo happen or it's cancelled permanently for this year?
Many updates were to come

Our Defexpo will be "Shuna Shuna" without Russian defence companies. Have to wait for months for Defexpo. I believe if Russian companies participate in the expo, there will be some type of Backlash from western defence companies.

What about Saras Mk-1. How many test are pending for it before going for LSP?

What about Saras Mk-1. How many test are pending for it before going for LSP?
Our Army aviation required this type of plane.

Indian Air Force has decided to induct 15 indigenous Saras aircrafts into its fleet. Air Force’s decision to induct the aircraft follows its second successful test flight. The first successful test was carried out on January 24, 2018. About 20 test flights have been planned for SARAS PT1N, before freezing the production version. According to NAL, the final production model of the light transport aircraft is expected to be ready by June-July.
The project was dropped by the previous government, after an accident during test flight in 2009.

Dr Vardhan said that CSIR-NAL proposes to get the SARAS-Mk 2 version certified initially for military and subsequently for civil version. Saras is anticipated to be 20-25 per cent cheaper than any imported aircraft in the same category. The improved version will be a 19-seater aircraft instead of 14-seater. The unit cost of the aircraft, with more than 70 per cent locally sourced content, will be around US$7 million as against US$10 million for for imported ones.

India needs 120-160 aircraft in this genre – both civil and military versions – in the next 10 years.

DRDO successfully flight tests Indian Army version of Medium Range Surface to Air Missile off Odisha coast
Posted On: 27 MAR 2022 4:58PM by PIB Delhi

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) conducted two successful flight tests of the Indian Army version of Medium Range Surface to Air Missile (MRSAM) at Integrated Test Range, Chandipur off the coast of Odisha on March 27, 2022. The flight tests were carried out as part of the live firing trials against high-speed aerial targets. The missiles intercepted the aerial targets and destroyed them completely, registering direct hits at both the ranges. The first launch was to intercept a medium altitude long range target and second launch was for proving the capability of a low altitude short range target.

This MRSAM version is a Surface-to-Air Missile developed jointly by DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), Israel for use by the Indian Army. The MRSAM Army weapon system comprises multi-function radar, mobile launcher system and other vehicles. The flight tests were carried out with the weapon system in deliverable configuration. The performance of the weapon system was validated through the flight data captured by range instruments like radars, electro-optical tracking systems and telemetry deployed by ITR, Chandipur. The flight tests were carried out in the presence of senior officials from DRDO and Indian Army.

Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has congratulated DRDO, Indian Army and the Industry for the successful flight tests of MRSAM-Army. He said, both the successful tests established the capability of the weapon system in intercepting targets at critical ranges.

Secretary Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr G Satheesh Reddy complimented the teams involved in the successful flight trial of the Army version of MRSAM and stated that these tests are the major milestones for an ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.

India successfully test-fires advanced version of Medium Range Surface to Air Missile (MRSAM)

India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) informed that on Sunday (March 27), the country has successfully carried out the test firing of the Medium Range Surface to Air Missile air defence system.


The test-fire was carried out off the coast of Odisha's Balasore, which is an eastern Indian state.





DRDO said that the missile was test-fired at 10.30 am (local time) validating long-range parameters.


DRDO said in a tweet: "MRSAM-Army missile system flight tested from ITR Balasore, Odisha at around 1030 hours intercepting a high-speed aerial target at long range."





"The system is part of the Indian Army. In the test, the missile secured a direct hit at the target at a very far off distance," DRDO officials said.


The MRSAM system provides point and area air defence for ground assets against a wide range of threats including fighter aircraft, UAVs, helicopters, guided and unguided munitions, sub-sonic & supersonic cruise missiles etc.


It is capable of engaging multiple targets at ranges up to 70 kilometres in severe saturation scenarios. The missile is powered by an indigenously developed rocket motor and control system for achieving high manoeuvrability during the terminal phase.


The firing unit comprises of Missiles, Combat Management System (CMS), Mobile Launcher Systems (MLS), Advanced Long Range Radar, Mobile Power System (MPS), Radar Power System (RPS), Reloader Vehicle (RV) and Field Service Vehicle (FSV).
