lol why do they all look different? Did they redesign or something. Even the shape of the main circle of the first 2 are different as well as their background.

Edit:The background tile is similar for first two after looking closely thx to the red line beside it and maybe the viewing angle is affecting it

its the same lol

Just viewed from opposite sides.

HTFE 25 Project: The Company has taken up the design and development of Hindustan Turbo Fan Engine (HTFE-25) in 2013-14 with a time frame of 6 years for completion. The Core Engine 2, Run completed and development activities of TD Full Engine run and Design Configuration review are under progress. An amount of 15923 Lakhs (Previous year - 15542 Lakhs) has been accounted under Intangible Assets under Development . It is assessed that, further development activities involve development of flight worthy engine for certification on a particular platform would require at least another 5 years or so. Keeping this in view and also that there is no visibility of any progress of any commitment/ orders for the Product, the Intangible Asset review Committee has recommended for impairment of total expenditure incurred on this project. Accordingly, 15923 lakhs has been impaired (Previous year - 15542 lakhs)

From my understanding there has been a loss of 20 mil this year and 20 mill last year for the asset known as HTFE-25 or from the total expenditure of the program.
Maybe someone more financially literate can shed some light?

What does it mean?

"no person shall finance any activity which is prohibited under this Act, or under the United Nations (Security Council) Act, 1947 or any other relevant Act for the time being in force, or by an order issued under any such Act, in relation to weapons of mass destruction and their delivery systems."

It means, if government finds out that you are funding any chemical, biological or radiological weapon development, you are going in for big time.

DRDO 500kg GP bomb test fire from Su-30mki

 

[Kuldeepm952]

If I am not wrong, Garudastra is an extended version of TAL sheyna, given advancement in battery tech since. Does anybody know the specs of this new version, specs of original TAL is rather mediocre. TAL is basically indian version of a244s light torpedo, and newer versions have come like mod3/4 with better capabilities.

 

[Chinmoy]

Reportedly a torpedo
Of what kind unknown , could be the anti torpedo torpedo

Self guided anti-submarine homing torpedo.

 

[Chinmoy]

Along with Garudastra, BDL unveiled this too.
