Made-In-India Tapas Drone Expected To Undergo Military Trials This Month

Indigenous medium altitude long-endurance drone TAPAS is expected to begin military trials this month, Reuters has reported

I can't understand why DRDO can't strap HAL Shakti engines of Dhruv & LCH on Tapas? Why go with inefficient, low-power piston engines when a better alternative of gas-turbine engines is available?

Trial successful

So they basically took a Mark 38 MGS Mod 3 and mounted it on a new platform. Or even worse, just simply wrapped the turret in sheet metal.

Same 25mm Bushmaster chain gun, a coaxial M240, the type and postion of the EOTS, the way manual firing - shoulder support is kept folded above the gun when not used.

Noice

Anyday better than a syntex tank with a gun on top mounted on a truck. I would name syntex tank as dementour, as the vision of it sucks all the joy in life out of me.

@Lonewarrior is this even possible? Or its hawabazi as always

Trial successful

The surgery was successful, the king is dead - Kalki
What's to say the geniuses of the air force crashed it intentionally?

Technically yes, because it's very much possible to reduce RCS especially given how Naval Tejas Mk-2 or whatever TEDBF it's called already uses technologies like Diverterless Supersonic Inlets and chine. And end of the day it's always good to have as reduced RCS as possible.

But ya, one counter argument to this is that even after reducing as much RCS as possible, you'd still be left with a significant drawback of having canards. Even a 1° change in the AoA of that canard will technically act as a radar reflector.
It's quite similar to how we claim to have reduced RCS or even outright "stealth" helicopter in the form of things like HAL Prachand or EuroCopter Tiger...I mean ya, you reduce RCS with all those measures like composite and angled surfaces but you're still left with a giant rotating rotor that reflects radar waves in all possible angles.

Wouldn't it be HAL/ADA pilots who would have been flying it today? How can they crash it intentionally?

Not possible bro
It was flown by hal/drdo guys
But if u wanna look at sabotage angle then maybe someone compromised within drdo/hal

But don't HAL ADA like come from the air force? it's all the same backgrounds. Once air force, always air force.

Thank you for the insight yes cannards will affect stealth but its rcs will be lower than before right

1. Bribing/threatening an ex-IAF pilot to intentionally crash the UAV. Doing this while atleast 50 uncles of HAL and ADA are standing just behind your shoulder. Getting the whole act recorded pretty much in real time in not just one but two FDRs (in UAV and in ground controller). Facing a high level enquiry.

2. Printing an A4 sheet and increasing the altitude requirment by 2,000 more feet than Tapas can achieve. Or add a ludicrous requirement like able to safely drop an orange cat with just one braincell on enemy, with pinpoint accuracy.

Which one of the the above seems to be a more efficient way of cancelling Tapas and selecting a foreign offering??

Yup...without all the technical jargons that's pretty much it

Nah ig scientists or technicians from hal/drdo would be flying it coz it's not some manned aircraft
So most probably employees

Arrreee...may be we intentionally crashed our Tapas as a tribute to today's crashing of Luna-25!! We paid homage!!!

Afterall Mother Russia is our oldest ally!
