Ya'll Nibbiars The Abraham's 46 Tons with autoloader. What stopping us from.l doing this. Oh we done this 20 years ago, but got chickened out due to the Russians.

From the tweets, it seems there are 3 versions of ULPGM.

From the tweets, it seems there are 3 versions of ULPGM.

Choose any four of these

Based on warhead
> One version might be HEAT
> One version might be HE
> One version might be Thermobaric
> Not likely, but might be PCB given DRDO's fetish to penetrate and cum-blast inside
Based on guidance
> As of now it seems DRDO has only masterd IIR guidance; ATGM is IIR, MANPADs is IIR, this is IIR too
> SAMHO/CLGM is supposed to have SALH seeker, so this might have a laser guidance variant
> Not likely, but might be GPS guided

This seriously looks like someone was paid by Boeing to bring out all the frustration.

All the weapons & sensor integration due will not happen in the LCH before 2027 give or take. It's only after that serial production will commence hopefully if CCS approval & orders aren't delayed. Don't entertain high hopes of much happening before that. It's strictly WiP as far as the LCH goes as of now.

Means next batch after 2030 ??
Why HAL and GoI not considering importing rest of weapons and sensors and start SP, like LCA tejasmk1a insisted of waiting for DRDO ??
Current status of NAMIS ,CCS approval ?? NG version ??

If units are being produced & FURTHER tested for the full envelope of flight parameters among other things & also tested for integration with weapons & sensors then won't this itself constitute LSP ? What else would you call an order for 15 units ? Sensor & armament integration is an on going process .

By 2027 with certification for ALL parameters received they should move on to full scale series production . In the meanwhile keep expecting mini orders of 5-10 units as part of LSP as & when vital parameters having been achieved / confirmed are duly certified.

They can without any help.
Arvind himself had told me about both a Distributed Aperture System and a photonic mast...but sadly MoD is not interested

Perhaps Tonbo can work on it . But it is something outside their current offerings.

Ta da...

Varuna - Tonbo Imaging

Varuna is the next generation of Non-hull penetrating optronic search mast. It features a multi spectral, multi aperture constant staring array of visible light and thermal cameras. It enables continuous full frame rate 360º imaging without the need for any motorised or mechanical scanning...

Not old, but partial
You seem to be a fan of both Make-I/II and I'm more into Make-II
