ok it’s not the largest forging company in the world then. It’s the largest when it comes to a single location. There’s a difference.

Currently Bharat Forge is the "world’s largest single location forging facility consisting of fully automated forging press lines and state-of-the-art machining facility."

Hmm ... I need to look into this .. I keep coming across this "largest in the world quote" will try to find something better .. Forging ain't a metric anyone tracks (atleast those that publish their results)like for example automotive.
Also the for example nippon steel is a normal steel producer adding their total revenue to just forging would be incorrect.
Also a 20 year old story lel

Listening to these old timers I totally get why private companies act the way they do with regards to defense projects ... Preference for imports and orders on "nomination" basis for DPSUS .. Absolute clown show.

Imagine only 50-60% grenades would work...
I also read a news the faulty ammunitions supplied to army was worth enough to buy 100 howitzers..

Yep, this was one of the arguments put forward by those that favoured breaking up OFB.

Radars for bhargawastra anti drone system will come from Israel(drone dome system )
I mean drdo can't even provide support of this simple radars.. hope atleast EO,ir, laser range finder will be indigeneous...
Jammers will be indigeneous..
This will be better than zem technology as they had a gun as hardkill. Compare to this laser guided 2kg rocket missile..

This is an in-house development from Solar Industries, it has nothing to do with DRDO and they likely didn't reach out to DRDO for assistance/consultation on the project.
DRDO's portfolio already has everything from a man-portable BFSR to a Ship-based S-band multifunction radar.

They should have asked drdo for help. If they were involved in advancements in pinnaka it is not new to them.. they're most likely importing who software too. With it.
I think any weapons development in pvt sector needs drdo's approval..

DRDO needs to figure out add-on composite armor packs for the BMP-2s.

Aint this just an ICV with integrated ATGMs as opposed to a dedicated mobile atgm system like the Namica mk1?
This seems to be a BMP upgrade to me.

Exactly it doesn't seem to be dedicated atgms carrier
It might be upgraded bmp-2 or something else

As per Alpha this is Namica 2 itself but optimised for High altitude hence it's light
