Is FICV ready? Is Kestrel doing rounds on ground?
If not BMP, then what is the second best option we have at the time of inception of NAMICA or still have? Let me give two other examples other then NAMICA.

Which one of these you think is better suited for strike role for India? I don't see the light weight Jeep coming anywhere near to what IA has envisioned NAMICA to be.

And 20+ missile is too much to ask for in current scenario. May be a double load i.e, 16 is logical enough.
Why did the Chinese copy the Namica design? Should India be flattered?
Serious question, what capability if any does Namica have in acquiring low flying air craft like helicopters and aircraft and launching Nag at them? Or would a next gen VSHORAD system make this weapon system obsolete?

Chinese didn't copied Indian design. Its their own concept. Even if they did, we needn't be flattered as it is a system designed to serve them.

Namica and NAG are not anti aircraft system. These are anti tank system. Next gen VSHORAD would not have any effect on them.

NAG can target helicopters too. It is dual role missile

The line between surface to air missile and surface to surface is becoming blurred just like in the air arena and naval arena.

We need long range air-surface missiles like brimstone with range of 20+km or Spear-3 with range of 100+ km to strike targets from safer distance and CHEAPLY too.

You wouldn't want Brimstone or SPEAR, nothing about them is done CHEAPLY. Base variant is $150,000 to $250,000 for the extended range SPEAR. SPEAR was designed with limitations to fit into the F-35B weapons bay and rely on the aircraft's all aspect sensors so it is already crippled out of the box. What you need is the Thales BAT-120 LG for 20km and MBDA Smartglider family for long range. Integration for Rafale is already being paid for by the DGA so all you need is to order. Just use your coupon code ARMAND2REP for 20% off.

India’s Nag anti-tank missile declared ‘ready for induction’ following 2 tests today against tank targets.

One more year of user trials then?

Would there be high altitude (hot& cold) trials for this?
