Armed Forces/DRDO should really dial down their chest-thumping on firing a few unguided rockets (that too are imported) from LCH/Rudra and calling it a game changer.

Unless they integrate HELINA (or some other ATGM) and self-defence suite (LCH) it's just a toothless tiger running around.

It's just another facet of the Jai Ho gang

It's just pure cringe. Every small task like this -


Is celebrated like they conquered a Nobel prize in Science level achievement.
difference of culture, most likely influenced by the former socialist babu system. Countries like US or UK don't do RR about "indigenous" and shizz, they just go and make it.

A company that won't even invest on R&D for small passenger car engines will invest their own money on developing new drones ? bullshit. This will go exactly like how Tata gets their engines.
So sourcing engine, pneumatics, electronics from foreign firms assemble it here with chasis made here and call it Desi.
Hel you will have to appreciate Mahindra in this regards, at least they have a line up of their own engine segment.

U will here many such proposals in future similar to this
Bcoz the govt and import lobby has found a middle way to deal with respective problems that is assembling by private sector where global armament companies getting their share of pie, govt successfully fooling janta in name of atmanirbharata and private companies getting their share of profit
Technology gaya bhaad main jab import ho sakta hai

R&D is not in Tata's DNA. They had TCS but never tried builing own cloud tech instead waited for others to create one so that TCS can open more BPO.

In 2023, Tqta Motors still strugglung with developing a TGDi engine and Mahindra being much smaller company is way ahead of them.

Most of Tata is mainly assembling with ToT whether it is from Microsoft or Airbus or Hyundai or Apple. Shame.

RIP tapas. Looks like we won't be able to make a drone ever. Heck the Pakistanis have homemade operational drone, however trash it may be.
Exactly. Same with all projects from ADE.

Give similar project to consortium of private startups like NewSpace etc. Fund them, provide access to labs. Set up project management office like corporates. See the result like magic.

Lots of imp stuff in this pic.

View attachment 228166


For starters , what's the difference between LRR or Long range radar and LRTR of BMD ?

Then there's VLRR in the pic . Its part of BMD and has a fixed antenna.

Two VLRTR sites are already up and running as part of BMD and for keeping tabs on Pak and Chinese missile tests. Then whats the need for this VLRR design from DRDO?

Also theres the LRBMR of Project Kusha or LRSAM.
LRBMR stands for Long range Battery Multifunction radar. It will be having 700+ km range for a 3 sqm target and will utilise GaN amplifier based TRM.
radars at the top, are current ongoing projects and bottom are older inducted ones. VHF radars can be OTH and anti stealth. Lots of details. Next gen. Hope they have access to sufficient number of fabs for GaN.

Nice details though. Have issues with politicians visiting such places specially from parties like DMK. Anyway LRDE might be using Hikvision cameras, Huawei, Mi phones, Lenovo laptops. and may be even chinese routers and switches. So they do not need dravidian stocks. lol
