Program LRSAM radar will most probably be our desi MF-STAR. Might be a variant of LR-MFR or a completely new radar.

Isn't the Zorawar LT coming with an unmanned turret. If not, why is the CO's hatch directly in the line of fire of that 7.62 remote weapon mount ?

Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited Begins Production of Kalashnikov AK-203 Assault Rifles

Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited, a joint venture between Russia and India, registered and located in India, whose founders on the Russian side are Rosoboronexport and Kalashnikov Concern (both are subsidiaries of the Rostec State Corporation), has started producing Kalashnikov assault rifles. The joint venture plans to ensure 100% localization of the production of AK-203 rifles in India. In future, the company may also increase output and upgrade its production facilities to manufacture advanced rifles based on the Kalashnikov assault rifle platform. Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited fully complies with the Government of India’s Made in India initiative and DAP 2020. Today, India is the first country to start producing the AK-200-series assault rifles of the world-famous brand.
“Korwa Ordnance Factory in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, has produced the first batch of 7.62 mm Kalashnikov AK-203 assault rifles. The beginning of deliveries to the Indian Army is expected soon. At the same time, the factory’s capacity makes it possible to fully equip the personnel of other law enforcement agencies in India with AK-203 assault rifles, which, due to their high adaptability, are suitable for various operators. In addition, the joint venture will be able to export its products to third countries,” said Alexander Mikheev, Director General of Rosoboronexport.
“Russia and India are linked by strong partnership relations. Military-technical cooperation between the two countries has resulted in the construction of the joint venture Indo-Russian Rifles Private Limited. With the launch of series production of Kalashnikov AK-203 assault rifles, high-quality, convenient and modern small arms will begin to enter service with India’s defense and law enforcement agencies. The model combines excellent ergonomics, adaptability to different shooters and high performance characteristics, it is one of the best assault rifles in the world,” said Sergey Chemezov, General Director of Rostec.
The AK-200-series assault rifles have retained all the advantages of the traditional AK scheme: reliability, durability and ease of maintenance. The AK-200 series of rifles are based on the AK-100 rifle series and the AK-12. They can be chambered in 5.45×39mm, 5.56×45mm NATO and 7.62×39mm, and use a barrel and gas system assembly and iron sights line similar to that of the AK-74M/AK-100 rifle family. AK-12 alike improvements added include Picatinny rails, a new pistol grip, a new adjustable buttstock and a new flash hider. They feed from 30-round magazines, and can be compatible with drum magazines from the RPK and RPK-74. As of 2018, 200-series Kalashnikov assault rifles, which include a complete family, are offered for export sales and for domestic law enforcement users. Rosoboronexport aims to cooperate on terms of transfer of technology put forward by the Indian side and in accordance with the Make in India initiative.

I think it's better to ignore it as a hoax, personally don't think such a proposal will even pass, there was no emergency buy rfi in past for such system, and to acquire something new they'll atleast have to float a RFI

Info from Tej-Intel on Twitter: We will have 4 types of NASM, Short range, Medium range and 2 more (my connection kept dropping, I couldn't hear the rest.) It was being recorded, there should be a recording somewhere.

You are not gaslighting, but don't mind, just farted.

Shahar Gal, the CEO of General Robotics, told Janes that the Indian Army and the Indian Navy are “willing to procure the company's Pitbull RCWS”.

This is what the CEO mentioned. You added the UGV from your side.

I read a different source which quoted janes and it had written with ugv so I asked bcoz I had doubt on reliability

BEL RCWS is there. It would go mostly in Naval platform. For Arjun, we would have to wait for its introduction.
