Ukraine Armed forces and Zelenskyy are also begging to everyone so Can we use Begging as a our strategic weapons in war??

What happened to kamikaze drone developed by EEL Nagpur ? The company has developed three versions weighing 1.5kg, 4kg and 10kg, with range of 15, 25 and 100km respectively.

Nagpur company develops country’s first armed drones for the forces | Nagpur News - Times of India

Private defence manufacturer Economic Explosives Limited (EEL) has developed the first indigenous drones and loitering munition systems.

timesofindia.indiatimes.com

There is also another kamikaze " sky striker " a indo isreali collaboration being manufactured in karnataka . It has similar range . Over 100 of those were ordered . Dont know about price advantage or disadvantage though .

May be army got it cheap .

Why is DRDO so inefficient in developing and operationalize weapons because it is mostly administered by IAS officers right from it’s beginning days. These officers operated on their usual training of touching every base before giving a go ahead. In this, a year or two delay resulted. An idea was lost to posting and transfers, loosing interest in the project and senior officers wishing the credit scuttled the project.

Some mindful directors at DRDO at times bypassed the inefficient bureaucracy and built missiles, critical component of nuclear bomb and other defence related projects and succeeded. Hence that is why we have some successes but mostly work in progress for years.

DRDO needs private sector hand where credit is given to the inventor and not his boss, approval of an idea be speedily granted, monies appropriated more speedily.

Failure of an idea is part of the R&D work. Even if one out of five ideas suceed there will be a huge progress.

In the private sector defence research,……. greater exchange of scientists be encouraged between DRDO and other organizations. That will diversify the research and remove the roadblock of lethargic bureaucracy.

Think about it…..

Exactly, we should buy 114 Jf17 and J10 each so we can learn their weakness. By doing so we can easily win two front war.

Most of the chinese fighter jets deployed in laddakh are 3rd generation or old su 27 . Hardly any J20 there . If we can buy 50 j20 from china we can give them very tough times . Even chinese ll be surprised . And ll be in confusion whether to be proud or sad .

its not a bad idea , having more variety of fighter jets will make IAF more robust , seekers in missiles are tuned to jet exhaust and rcs profile .

means it will be difficult for enemy to shoot down our planes .

IAF is the way it is , not due to poor planning but 5D chess.

There can never be such cities because we don't have a Urban planning paradigm. There is no institution that overlook city development neither in the largest city nor the smallest town. Civil course here do not include township planning, neither does any exam conducted have any significance of urban development. All city planning Pvt firms are phoren.

I think we lose billions becuae we can't plan a city properly not to mention awful living conditions.

This order is not new at least older than 6,7 months, probably after Galwan clash. no wonder why WB group posted some Indian republic day wishes last year, I am surprised at that time but i thought India will bought polish fly eye UAV.

What are you talking about dude? DRDO administration is mostly scientists.

Jokes aside, there is nothing stopping China from deploying J-20 against us, even if they have a few of them. Also, although we talk about our geographic advantage vis-a-vis Chinese since we have more airbases (as pointed out recently by @mist_consecutive ) and as our airbases are at a much lower altitude on average than the Chinese; but we must also not forget that having a much larger Air Force allows Chinese to absorb more attrition than we can. So the longer a China-India conflict drags on, the weaker our position in the air becomes. Chinese will simply fly in more jets from other theaters. Its not like the Americans are pushing them hard right now (or will be during a Sino-Indian conflict) so they won't need a massive number of jets on their coastline, a smaller number would be more preferrable to losing a war against India.

NAMIS has been cleared in 2018 itself. 300 missiles were cleared for LSP production along with 25 NAMICA.

This year AON has been approved for ATGM along with vehicles.

Any news of BDL delivering these? Oh wait, is being held back because of OFB Medak not being able to deliver the NAMICA, even though BDL would have delivered the Nag missile itself?
.
I hope you don't mean the AoN is for the LSP?

Yes. BDL did delivered specific numbers for qualitative trials back in 2019/20.

OFB Medak in fact delivered few LSPs. We have seen the latest configuration of NAMICA which has been done on LSP units.

 

[The Shrike]

Doesn't L&T make the nag missile launcher? Not the BMP-2 itself but converting it into NAMICA.
