I have a few questions.
I know that IAF uses russian ordinance of the fab series
Ofab 250 etc, I want to ask that if we manufacture them under license ?
My second question is , why hsld , is it a general purpose bomb ?
How its different from garuda and garuthama
@porky_kicker ,@Lonewolf

Yes

One can do anything with a dumb bomb if it's design permits , add guidance kits , turn into pgms etc

Baseline Hsld is high speed low drag bomb
Baseline bomb of Garuda and garuthama is same and more like conventional design , one is winged with guidance other one is non winged with guidance

DRDO Readies Short Range Naval Anti Ship Missile (NASM-SR) For Indian Navy

Work on the DRDO developed Naval Anti Ship Missile (NASM) is complete and integration with Sea King Helicopter has started.

DRDO was in the process of developing a Naval Antishipping Missile Short Range (NASM-SR) with an estimated range of 55 km for use from Sea King helicopters and eventually equip the MH-60R helicopters. This project is possibly being developed for a number of platforms, having different ranges. ‘SR’, or Short Range, means that development of other longer range versions is expected as well.

According to DRDO, the NASM-SR will be a 380 kg projectile with a maximum range of 55 km and used initially with Indian Navy Sea King helicopters, replacing the earlier Sea Eagle missiles. As the Sea King itself is approaching the end of its service life, it may be expected that the new indigenous missile will be in service with future helicopters of the Navy.

The American made MH-60R helicopters is due to arrive in July 2022 which is a multi-role platform and these are slated to be equipped with Kongsberg Naval Strike Missile. Further, for the Indian Navy’s IMRH acquisition, MBDA pitched its Sea Venom which has a range of 25 km and also the Marte-ER which can reach more than 100 km.

The NASM-SR could certainly be considered for these potent platforms. The long range version of the NASM may have a range excess of 150 km, enabling engagement of hostile targets from stand-off distances. At the DRDO exhibit at Aero India 2019 were several posters of a one-ton class medium range air launched cruise missile, though little was revealed about this unnamed stealth missile.

The Indian Navy is also in the market for new medium range anti-ship missiles (MRAShM) for 24 current and future warships as detailed by Livefist — three Delhi-class destroyers, four Kora-class missile corvettes and the six new Next Generation Missile Vessels (NGMV) that will enter service in the next decade. The other anti-ship missiles currently in service with the Indian Navy are Boeing Harpoon Block-IIIs on the P-8I Poseidon fleet.

DRDO Developed New Short Range Naval Anti Ship Missile (NASM-SR) For Indian Navy

The DRDO-developed Naval Anti-Ship Missile (NASM) has been completed, and integration with the Sea King helicopter has commenced. The DRDO was working on a Naval Short Range Anti-Ship Missile (NASM-SR) with a range of 55 kilometres for use with Sea King helicopters and maybe in the future with MH-60R helicopters or the Dhruv helicopter.


The Naval Anti-Ship Missile SR’s existence was exposed in the Lok Sabha in 2018. Nirmala Sitharaman, the Raksha Mantri, included this in a list of DRDO and other Indian institution developments over the last three years (January 2016-December 2018). At DefExpo 2020, the first elements were revealed.


This idea could be developed for a variety of platforms with varying price points. The abbreviation ‘SR’ stands for ‘Short Range,’ implying that other, longer-range variants will be developed as well.


The NASM-SR, according to DRDO, will be a 380 kilogramme projectile with a maximum range of 55 kilometres that will initially be utilised with the Indian Navy’s Sea King helicopters, replacing the previous Sea Eagle missiles. Because the Sea King is nearing the end of its service life, the new indigenous missile is expected to be used by the Navy’s future helicopters.

The NASM-SR, according to DRDO, will be a 380 kilogramme projectile with a maximum range of 55 kilometres that will be used to replace the previous Sea Eagle missiles on Indian Navy Sea King helicopters. Given that the Sea King is nearing the end of its service life, the new indigenous missile is likely to be deployed with future Navy helicopters.


The Indian Navy is now in the process of buying MH-60R multi-role helicopters, which will be outfitted with Kongsberg Naval Strike Missiles. MBDA also pitched the Sea Venom with a range of 25 kilometres and the Marte ER with a range of more than 100 kilometres for the Indian Navy’s IMRH procurement.


The NASM SR is a viable option for these powerful systems. The long-range variant of the NASM could have a range of more than 150 kilometres, allowing it to engage hostile targets from afar. Several posters of a one-tonne class medium range air launched cruise missile were on display at the DRDO booth at Aero India 2019, yet nothing was known about this nameless stealth missile.


The multi-role MH-60R helicopter, built in the United States, is scheduled to arrive in July 2022 and will be outfitted with the Kongsberg Naval Strike Missile. MBDA also pitched the Sea Venom, which has a range of 25 kilometres, and the Marte-ER, which has a range of over 100 kilometres, for the Indian Navy’s IMRH procurement.

Yeah noticed that, but system is Amogh. May be they are trying to hide the tester.

Yeah this looks like production version. There is a lot of stuff happening behind the curtains. Announcements and reporting is minimal these days.

Or its just that they wanted to show both the missile and launcher in same picture hence hence a bad photoshop.
