DRDO, PSU and Private Defence Sector News

It might also be using the chassis of K-9 (Need to verify on this part).

From the looks of it, I find turret might be unmanned.

In the K9 and K21 redback chassis also the taper starts very close to the turret. So it might actually be a indigenous design from L&T and DRDO.

Will be disappointing if it’s actually just 25 tonnes.

As the weight limit here is also 25 tons, is there a possibility that both programs might have same chassis?

@jik60 @Johny_Baba
Kindly can you ask few questions around Kaveri?
a) Is development continuing?
b) Was the screech issue resolved.
c) Are we using Indigenous Crystal Blades
d) Progress on Non After Burning Kaveri for Ghatak?
e) Progress on Manik Engine. How many times has it been tested on ITCM?
f) Why no effort to convert knowledge gained from Kaveri to produce a heli engine?
g) When will KGMT see light of the day?
h)Why no Flying Jet Engine test being not being acquired?
i) Out of Safran , RR & GE which is giving know why of core, if not the case, is the JV just for hot core?

Thanks Much

AMCA : ask specifically about DAS and EOTS if no EOTS ask them how do they plan to do A2G targeting.
Ask them about the IR signature control methods used , like blockers in nozzle or new materials or active cooling, emissivity engineering, etc. I don't think they will reveal much but try nonetheless.
Most importantly when will be rollout.

Status of armed drones.

Status of armed drones.

I think it also includes LMs, isn't it?

Why disappointing ? We are focusing on mobility over armor. A 1000Hp engine on a 25T tank means it will be faster, can climb steeper slopes, can operate at higher altitudes, and is easier to transport by airlift.

If we want something heavier and more armored, we got 42T-weight T72 Ajeyas.

FICV first look
View attachment 175837

I hope this is not the final model. With those exposed sides it looks it came straight out of WW2 factory.

I hope this is not the final model. With those exposed sides it looks it came straight out of WW2 factory.

Don't worry, I think its geared for modular armor. Without those modular armor add ons, most modern Tanks and FICV would look like 70-80 era barring for opto electronic wares.

SoKoreans are real shrewd when it comes to defense stuff,
someone i know informed me that they are not only having tech from the westerns but also from the ruskies by the power of monies, and likewise they use their brainz to develop their own stuff from the available pool of western,kommie and other stuff they have.

25 ton is not battle weight.
