DRDO is developing a manpad as a variant of nag missile. That is why Israeli order was postponed.

Its mpatgm........
For tanks ..also can hit low flying helis.....

Not a manpad .
A manpad like igla can fire upto 6 km ... altitude 2.5 km...can hit fighter jets too....which mpatgm can't

Reading more it seems France uses mistral in the role and USA jevelin. So on the same lines between nag , helina and sants DRDO has all the material to develop manpads if sanctioned.

IMO yes as complex as developing a ICBM.

Only when drdo manages to develop a manpad / wvraam , can it claim to have complete mastery over missiles

If any doubts over deployment of sea bed arrays ( hydrophone based ) for surveillance of undersea's target then this should quell the doubts

Latest development is progress with laser based sea bed array. Much more sensitive and resilient to false alarms.

How will they weaponise Rustom when the said weapons are not ready for LCH even..

They might be doing modification required to carry weapons. Hard point strengthening etc?

Frankly I don't know. I'm just glad to hear that army wants 80 of them and there is talk of weaponisation which was previously denied.

I posted here so someone can fish more info

Also other people confirmed weaponisation of rustom
And rustom is cheap than that of isarel drones
And helina is in user trial....so

Yes , use spoiler tag and don't name it explicitly

I also know the type which was being tested in a very isolated region since quite some time back
