better to make a comprehensive ifv on this turret based on zorawar chassis that would give us scale benefit too and zorawar is said to be very protected yet lightweight (the john cockerill turret weighs 5 tonnes) so chassis of zorawar would be around 15-20 tonne mark
lnt is working on ficv too we can have them as private partner to boost privatization

Hmmmm.... Why is the company named Zulu which is the major ethnic group & language of South Africa? Is there any relation with South Africa?
in
military talk, "Zulu" is a term used to represent the letter "Z" in the NATO phonetic alphabet. This alphabet is used to ensure clear communication of letters and numbers, especially in situations where radio or telephone communication may be unclear.
Isliye nato ke saare desh ke faujen apna time Greenwich mean time pe set rakhte hai.
This may be a reason , since their products deal in comms, recon etc.

Why is the missile so big and having such long range? Why can't it be 50km range and launched by a ship or 50km one launched by a naval ASW helicopter? That would be more helpful for immediate action
if a submarine is 100-50km of your border undetected you would be fked already also submarine speeds are way lesser than ships if detected near shore they are doomed no need for making a expensive missile fire a varunastra (40-50km range) and get it done while lets say your mk9b and p8i detect a submarine 500-600km from your shore either they can fire their torpedo or fire a smart

According to resident expert here, share of indigenization of Brahmos couldn't exceed 51% as we'd be sharing our share of the profit with the Russian counterpart in the ratio of 51:49 which is exactly the ownership pattern of the JV, hence taking up the level of indigenization would only be to our loss as we'd still have to split the profits in the same ratio.

Yet somehow we've reached 76% & are striving for 100%.

I always knew the Russkies were shrewd businessmen. Look at how well they calculated how Ukraine would go.

Alhamdulillah!!
Amazing 25 years after making this the workhorse cruise missile in all the branches; India has not completely indiginized yet?? I do not believe one word of this.
