If you are talking about the fins, look at the circled part.

View attachment 30383

Sorry... I am not good at editing. I should have highlighted it in red.

Here the fins are in folded position. They are different to the line drawing of Rudra M3 or what is being labeled as the Rudra M3.
Both the fixed and movable fins are different.

That one is schematic diagram and this one is a scale model for wind tunnel test. There would always be some difference in schematics and actual design of a missile especially the one whose design is not yet freezed and still in development.

The schematic looks more like a variant of PDV. Albeit a slimmer version.

And the wind tunnel model looks like an entirely different design.
Are we even sure this is Rudra M3 or we are seeing an entirely yet to be named missile.

The source from where this was taken, does it mention Rudra there?

To tell the truth, project Rudra is so much under veil that nothing is clear about it. The model has been taken from a test paper which include many more other models. Even I was not sure about what I am looking at unless the Rudra model came up. Then again till date it was believed that Rudra is a strategic ASM, but yesterday it came to light that NGARM project missile is again termed as Rudra. So this missile could be anyone of those.

Will it be possible for you to post all the models in that test paper?

Yes, Air Marshal Raghunath Nambair had said that there was a new Ngarm called Rudra under developement.

Now Rudra M3 has a different airframe. It's so confusing.

Another model is this...

Another model is this. I thought both to be same, but people are saying that this is another missile.

Any one remember if this 105 mm LFG E2 is a new version, or it existed before too?
OFB seems to have shaved almost 1000 KG.

Light Field Gun is somewhat old and too heavy for its role. Bharat Forge is offering 1000 kg guns.

Rudra Missiles achieve above mach 4 capability along with the being air launched ,is surely a death kneel for the enemy and its so called "full spectrum deterence " ,as for Hypersonic missile DRDO did acknowledge about HSTDV ,it could have achieve something tangible in hypersonic missile space

@Chinmoy @Arihant Roy
As per AM R. Nambiar.

"We are in the development stage of the Pralay—a guided short-range (400 km) tactical ballistic missile for battlefield use developed by DRDO. Also developed for the IAF are the precision guided munitions (PGMs) Garuthmaa and Garudaa. An air launched anti tank missile has been developed called SANT (Stand off Anti Tank) which will have multi-platform launch capability and can be launched from attack helicopters. Other weapons developed are the SAAW (Smart Anti Airfield Weapon), Dhruv Astra an anti surface missile and a new generation anti radiation missile—the Rudram-1. We also have the Rudram-2 and Rudram-3 missiles which are variants of the Rudram-1 with different functions for ground attack."

This is all a name game as per my thinking. The Rudra M1 project was shelved long back as per what I came to know. Now it came out that there is another project by the name of Rudram1 and its NGARM project.

Next is Dhruvastra............. The launch tube of HELINA is known as Dhruvastra and just few days back I came across the sight of another missile by same name.

DRDO is playing name game it seems.

You came across the picture of another missile named Dhruvastra. Can you post this picture.

According to Nambair Sir, there is a Ngarm project by the name of Rudram 1. And we have seen outlines of Rudram 3. There is no way that Rudram 3 is a variant of Rudram 1 when Rudram 1 is the Ngarm.

Let me show you some pics which are available in public domain.

These two pics are of HELINA launch test.

Now look at this.

I would not be surprised if DRDO came up with the notion that DHRUVASTRA is modified HELINA.

IMHO, I think the journos got it wrong when they thought Dhruvastra is just a missile tube and not an ASM.
It might just have been a missile all this time.

Might be...... But as I said, I would not be surprised if Dhruvastra is a modified Air launched NAG.

DRDO developing multi- mission aircraft for Coast Guard

BENGALURU: To prevent intrusion into Indian waters by unidentified vessels, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is developing a Multi- Mission Maritime Aircraft (MMMA) for the Indian Coast Guards for surveillance. The aircraft will be weaponised to prevent unwanted intruders and will also keep an eye on pollution due to the dumping of oil and other materials in the high seas in India’s territory. “Development of the specialised surveillance vehicle is under process,” said S Christopher, former chairman of DRDO. He was speaking on ‘Growth of Indian airborne surveillance systems’ at the first webinar organised as part of Aero India ‘19. “The MMMA will play a key role in sea surveillance of surface ships and boats,” he said. Meanwhile, following the induction of the first version of Airborne Warning and Control Systems (AWACS) into Indian armed forces, six bigger versions of the surveillance aircraft are currently being developed.

There was a link on Metamaterials research paper by DRDO that was given here by someone I don't remember. Can anyone please give the link if anyone has it ?
