What am i supposed to assume regarding his like on my question? Is this a yes or no?

Its under development and will be ready 'soon'**

** soon - an expression of relative time period in indian defence circles which can range anywhere between 5 to 10 years or even never.

 

[samsaptaka]

Just 150 ! Imported Airforce upto their usual tricks, order small no. of local stuff just to tick a checkbox that they support atmanirbharata and then order 1500 imported ones. Might as well order none at all.

Western in here means EU/america...

Just 20?? Indian army seems to think its adversary is Nepal and Bhutan. You see this pattern across the board. In the last decade, how many platforms, local or imported, got inducted in big numbers?

Army does not want the nag missile which is more or less outdated...hence there's a nagmk2

 

[abingdonboy]

Situation seems very very severe
I mean just inducting 83 jets from 2022 to 2030 is really pathetic and dangerous
Whereas our rivals are piling up jets
Hope iaf has some plans to counter it bcoz no one can be that fool of ignoring this threat

Plan? Their plan is the same as it has been for the last 20 years. 100+ MMRCA

these clowns haven’t woken up once

Imagine calling a 3rd gen ATGM "outdated" while the bulk of your forces still use SACLOS 2nd gen ATGM.

I think its a bit heavier compared to missiles like spike for its range

Do you know how many Harpy drone IAF operates?

Number is near 40.

What is your safe estimate? How many should we order?

These are LSP, AoN was given in 2018 for 25 vehicles and 300 nag atgm.
seeker issue got resolved in 2017/18,Nag cleared final trials in 2020.
Now the delivery of vehicles have started, delivery couldn't have started without nag itself being cleared for production.

Order for 13 vehicles given on 2013. These were used in testing and exercise for live firing.

But also carries a heavier warhead, no?

Doesn't AoN get expired after couple years if no order is placed?

15 per IBG is the estimate I saw years ago. 300 odd across all RAPIDS and IBGs

Just 15 per IBG seems a bit low considering the fact that IBGs are generally going to be larger than American BCTs.
Sure NAMICA is only one vehicle and the R&S will have LAMV for recon as well. But compare it to what an American Armoured BCT has for recon and its pretty low numbers.
