The entire helicopter weighs 10 kg and has a payload of 2.5kg. A gun like M16 weighs over 3 kg without magazine. Forget about rockets.

Problem with HAL /DRDO they dont have fresh ideas , they cant dream about future technology . they are doing duty 8 hrs jobs & taking money on every 1st .
but now govt should show them red card you guys has to perform otherwise fired them .
New blood with fresh ideas will change , we need result. till now DRDO/HAL both are not up-to the level

The same way the IN has been designing and managing projects to design and build frigates, nuke subs, aircraft carriers, destroyers, LSTs, sonar suites, advanced comm gear, and the Gods know what else.
From laser weapons to 4G LAN, Centre throws 11 defence challenges at startups

This is what we had been lagging for a long time. But if we could continue with this and with proper support form end customer, things look bright for home grown talents.
The recent test of helicopter drone too is a welcome step as this is the first time that Acedemy and Industry have joined hands is building up a system. It could be termed as a new beginning.

Defence PSUs take lead in investing in UP Defence Industrial Corridor
ALIGARH: Defence Public Sector Undertakings have taken the lead in investing heavily in the Uttar Pradesh Defence Industrial Corridor which saw the launching of projects for it here today, even as Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman pushed the public and private sector towards focussing on exporting their products.
The development comes even as UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath at the event stated that he requests Sitharaman to shift the venue of the biennial Aero India show from its traditional location in Bangalore to UP. He added that if this happens it would boost the corridor in the state. Sitharaman who was present for the event didn’t officially respond to the request. It can be recalled that ET has reported that while keeping an eye on the approaching elections the Centre is advancing the Aero India show by a year and will be shifting it to the Bakshi Ka Talab air station in Lucknow.
Meanwhile at the event, defence PSU, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) became the top investor in the defence corridor. HAL Chairman and Managing Director, T Suvarna Raju, announced that the organisation has invested Rs 1200 crore in the corridor, which will create local investment for the next 25 years and employment. Raju explained to ET that Rs 700 crore has been invested in Lucknow for the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft and upgrade of the Sukhoi fighters. Even the Rs 200 crore investment in Korwa is for the same purpose. In Kanpur, Rs 200 crore has been invested for transport aircraft, while Rs 30 crore is for Naini Aerospace Limited in Allahabad, which is a HAL subsidiary.
“At Naini we are making harnesses for the Light Combat Aircraft and the Dhruv Advanced Light Helicopter. With Boeing, we will train locals for manufacturing harnesses,” he said.
President Boeing India Pratyush Kumar at the event stated, “we will select young trainees for a world class curriculum from our facilities across the world. We will ensure that UP is catapulted to the highest levels and trainees generate world class equipment.”
Meanwhile, Ordnance Factory Board Chairman said that it has committed Rs 1076 crore project investments in the next five years in the UP corridor. Bharat Electronics Limited has committed to the corridor with projects worth Rs 200 crore for the modernisation of its facility in Ghaziabad and Rs 40 crore for setting up a regional support centre in Agra. Private company Bharat Forge announced investment of Rs 200 crore for setting up an ammunition factory, while another one, MKU, will be investing Rs 900 crore in electro optic facilities in Noida, upgrading its armour facility and manufacturing small and large calibre arms in Kanpur.
Six nodal points have been identified for the UP corridor, which are Agra, Aligarh, Lucknow, Kanpur, Chitrakoot and Jhansi. One stakeholder interaction was held today at Aligarh- a place known for hardware manufacturing- which saw participation from manufacturers to defence PSUs and MSMEs. Both the UP corridor and the one coming up in Tamil Nadu will be built on existing defence production facilities, create a supply chain of MSMEs and manufacturers, and testing and export facilitation centres.
In relation, Sitharaman highlighted the need for defence export potential. "Our defence equipment manufacturing should be explored to tap the global market as well. Efforts should be made to increase export market of defence equipment,” she said.
She also said that industries can offer suo moto proposals for defence solutions. “Startups and MSMEs can show their innovative products to us. After required tests are completed, we are ready to buy those products. I assure you to give you orders for minimum 10 years,” she added.
Later, the Army’s Vice Chief Lt Gen Devraj Anbu, at the event added, “Suo moto proposals coming from individuals, industries can prove to be a game changer. The Indian Army is a major beneficiary of these initiatives."

Smart Anti-airfield Weapon (SAAW) completed an eighth successful round of developmental trials today. In the future, I would speculate that this weapon will be equipped with a front-end imaging infrared seeker in addition to its INS.

Anti-tank missile and guided bombs successfully flight tested
The missile is guided by an Infrared Imaging Seeker operating in the Lock-on-Before-Launch mode. It is one of the most advanced anti-tank weapons in the world.
BHUBANESHWAR: India on Sunday successfully test fired indigenously developed Helicopter launched Anti-Tank Guided Missile Nag (HeliNa) from an army helicopter in Pokhran range.
Defence sources said the weapon system was tested for its full range. After its smooth release from the launch platform, the missile tracked the target all through its course before destroying it with high precision.
"All the parameters have been monitored by the telemetry stations and tracking systems placed in the helicopters. The mission was successful as the missile performed as expected," the source said.
Developed by DRDO, the missile was guided by an Infrared Imaging Seeker (IIR) operating in the lock on before launch mode. It is one of the most advanced anti-tank weapons in the world. HeliNa has an extended strike range of about eight km.
In another related development, indigenously designed and developed guided bombs Smart Anti Airfield Weapon (SAAW) were successfully flight tested from IAF aircraft at Chandan range in Rajasthan. The weapon system integrated with live warhead destroyed the targets with high precision. The telemetry and tracking systems captured all the mission events.
The weapon is capable of destroying variety of ground targets using precision navigation. A total of three tests with different release conditions were conducted during August 16 to 18 and all the mission objectives have been achieved.The weapon has undergone eight developmental trials so far and performance of system for different ranges under multiple launch conditions has been demonstrated. Senior officials from DRDO, Indian Army, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) and Indian Air Force (IAF) participated and witnessed the respective flight tests.
Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman congratulated the DRDO, Army, IAF and HAL on the successful flight test for further strengthening the defence capabilities of the country.
