Yes. TAPAS with quad packed munitions will be fun. If Infantry have night fighting capability then with an eye on above with fire power we can smoke them.

But Army will take some years to get into this idea.

Army isn't buying tapas so it will stay as idea

Tapas is dead just like Trishul missile. The ongoing drone in Ukraine demonstrates need for “cheap” short range missile but Barak-1 killed Trishul

It turned out to be medical equipment rather than missile.

so this guy is clueless like rest of us .

still dont understand how he knows its a medical equipment .

stamp shows UL US , certification for usa , even if its civilian certification , it still could be part of component used in missile or ac or anything else .

This one looks more like an Anti personal one loitering munition rather against Armoured ones. Army can use them against the New JEM terrorist. I mean if Army able to pinpoint location of Pigs and then we can guide this loitering munitions to the hideout and smoke them.

500gm HMX warhead is good enough for 220-250 mm RHA armour.

Indian airforce has a total of 5 overground nodes and 9 underground nodes as part of IACCS. The 5 overground nodes are operational.

Two underground nodes were handed over to IAF by BEL on 6th June after successful completion of SAT.

I would love to see kuki militants getting smoked by this weapon.

Have we considered the possibility that they just copy the design and find components and assemble

This are not so complex system. They can reverse engineer the design all the components needed are readily available in india.

 

[SwordOfDarkness]

Possibly could literally buy the kit, look up the components, make the molds etc from the parts themselves, then make in India.

Not like Chinese companies will come fighting for IP rights

i dont think the max altitude is where the problem of designers lie the problematic thing is the maintain 24hrs at 30000ft with 350kg of equipment
so some ways to achieve it is =

• weight reduction (very hard)
• more powerful engines (doable)
• better aerodynamics to somehow boost it to the requirements (whats being done now)

all while not excedding costs too (since it would be costliers due to 2 engine configurations too)

Reduction in weight and drag has already been done test flight soon, that's the most they will do now they won't spenya dime more on this for barely 20-30 orders Army has rejected it completely

well i can spare army due to the low capex they have they have hell lot of things to keep and eye on especially reducing the pensions and salaries of the civillian contractors too

while i think this improved tapas was on taxi trials few days back it would be a big boost to navy too hopefully bel develops some equipments for tapas too we cant bet all of our resources on american kindness with the mq9b (it too expensive also)
