This is all we know. I mean what kind of missile. Is it a ARM as talked about lately, or anything else. Because Rudra M1 and M2 are reportedly different short of ASM.
Just before you claimed DRDO never talkied about it and its a theory!. Not worth discussion if you cant admit it.

I only talked about its role. Look at the post #4531.

There is no doubt that its an ASM, but there is doubt whether its an ARM or anything else. Parliamentary committee also reported it as TD. Nothing more, nothing less.

What is a ground mine? @NeXoft007
Ground Mine


The processor-based ground mine (PBGM) is a microprocessor- controlled advanced mine to be laid either by a surface ship or launched from a submarine. It is classified as an intelligent mine as it can assess and quantify the environment and accurately identify and destroy actual targets. The mine is designed to detonate using any one or a combination of the three influences created by a target. Advanced digital signal processing techniques are incorporated in the mine to discriminate between acoustic noise generated by real target and acoustic countermeasure. The mine design also includes advanced digital filtering techniques to extract pressure signature generated by ships and submarines in the presence of high sea ambient. Classical safety features are also provided. The mine is designed for long storage and operating life.

My Guess about Rudra:-

Rudra I is NGARM

Rudra II is NGARM airframe with IR Seeker

Rudra III is NGARM airframe with MMW seeker

What is the weight of NGARM ?
RUDRA M III reportedly weights 1.6 tonnes

Also RUDRA M II airframe is different from NGARM airframe

Why is CVRDE developing 700HP engine? Just a few months back, Nirmala Sitharaman had announced indigenisation of 2 engine - 780HP and 1000HP for T72 and T90 respectively.

For FICV etc

As for indigenisation of the T series engines , they did so via TOT nothing ground breaking about that , just too much self praise and much ado about nothing .

Designing from grounds up and then productionizing it and productionizing a imported proved design ( indigenisation ) are 2 different ends of a pole.
