They are waiting for Modi to loose in 2019. If that happen you will see how every Indian weapon system is just simply useless.

Exactly!
In the quest for that foreign vested interests spearheaded by OEMs are already investing in civic disturbances that we are witnessing nowadays.
The opposition may be upbeat because of these activities and PAPU Pasta may have already promised an order valued in billions in reciprocity. Still, they won't be able to defeat Modi. Modi is not a cake walk like ABV. Never he was never and he will be.

Looking at the developments in last 3-4 months I doubt his sure victory but that's not to be discussed in this thread. But if he comes back to power we will see all these weapon becoming success in an year.

The reality is that BJP does not want to spend money on procurement but only on technology development. Technology development has to be completed before procurement. Otherwise, we will be procuring a weapon with 70% indigenous and 30% imports. It is better to get it 100% indigenous and then procure it.
Arjun MK2 needs Bharath Powerpack first, Tejas needs Kaveri first and so on. So, don't just start shouting like little kids.
Army has no control over what weapon it buys. The MoD determines everything. All that depends on various strategic and diplomatic engagements with other countries and the intent of MoD.

Army to get Nag Anti Tank Guided Missiles in 2019, says DRDO chief
INDIAN Army will get their third-generation Anti Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) Nag missiles in next year as the full-fledged production of this missile will start from first half of 2019, informed Dr S Christopher, Chairman, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in a press conference held by DRDO at conference hall of Defexpo 18 venue in Chennai on Friday. “The remaining trials of this missile will be finalised till the end of 2018 and production will start next year onwards,” said Dr Christopher. DRDO successfully tested this indigenously designed and developed ATGM in desert conditions against two tank targets in the month of February. The Indian Army has so far not publicly commented on the successful Nag ATGM test, however, DRDO has disclosed it on the platform of Defexpo on Friday.Indian Army officials have repeatedly stated that they expect development trials to be concluded by the end of 2018. The Army has delayed the induction of the Nag, a fire-and-forget ATGM with an estimated range of 4 kilometers, due to numerous technical shortcomings including inadequate thermal sensors.
The missile’s high price tag has also been a point of controversy.The Nag ATGM, manufactured by India’s sole missile producer, state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited, until the recent test had only been fired from an armoured combat vehicle specifically designed for that purpose.DRDO has been working on the Nag ATGM for over a decade. The Army raised demand of 8,000 Nags, although it most likely will place an initial order for only 500 ATGM systems.The service is reportedly pushing for a fast-track procurement of 2,500 third-generation shoulder-fired ATGMs and 96 launchers through a Government-to-Government contract.
Weapon systems under consideration include the Israeli Spike ATGM and the FGM-148 Javelin ATGM. In December 2017, the Government had scrapped a USD 500 million deal with Israeli defence contractor Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd for 321 Spike ATGM systems and 8,356 missiles in favour of an indigenous ATGM system currently under development by DRDO.
The Indian Army originally selected the Spike ATGM over the US-made FGM-148 Javelin ATGM system in October 2014, expecting the Nag ATGM not to be ready for operational deployment for some time. In the press conference all senior officials of DRDO like Dr G Satheesh Reddy, Dr CP Ramanarayanan, Pravin Mehta, Dr Samir Kamat, Dr Sudhir Mishra and others were also present.

Nag anti-tank missiles to be inducted into Indian Army soon
ln a major success for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Make in India' in the defence sector, the longdelayed Nag anti-tank guided missile is all set to see the light of day in the Indian Army as 300 of the land attack version of this missile are going to be inducted into the force soon to tackle the enemy armoured forces.
Nag was one of the five missile systems planned to be developed in the 1980s by the Defence Research and Development Organisation under the Integrated Missile Development Programme (IMDP) and has been stuck due to one problem or the other.
"A high-level meeting of the defence ministry will consider a proposal to acquire 300 Nag missiles and around 25 Nag Missile Carriers (NAMICA) worth around Rs 500 crore for induction into the Indian Army in the next few days," government sources told Mail Today.
The NAMICAs are the launch vehicles of the Nag missiles and can carry six missiles at a time, which can destroy enemy tanks and infantry combat vehicles from a distance of 7 to 8 kilometers.
Sources said the army will carry out more trials of the Nag missile as its requirement is of around 3,000 such missiles. "If the army is satisfied with the performance of the weapon system, it will place more orders for the weapon system," they said.
After the NDA government started giving push to 'Make in India' in the defence sector, Nag missile would be the second long-pending project of the DRDO to see the day of light in armed forces after the successful induction of the Tejas Light Combat Aircraft into the Air Force.
The major success in the Nag programme was achieved after the DRDO missile complex developed the indigenous seeker for the Nag missile, which helped it in hitting targets successfully.
"The earlier seeker used in the missile could not differentiate between the tank and its surrounding desert sand as the temperature difference between the two was almost negligible during the summer season. However, the indigenous seeker has the capability to differentiate between the two and has consistently hit targets during the trials in the last two years," the sources said.
"The fire-and-forget Nag missile with the indigenous seeker can successfully target enemy tanks even in the worst desert conditions during summer with great accuracy," the sources said.
The seekers imported from a European country were developed as per the weather conditions there and were not able to adapt to the extreme weather conditions in the desert terrain in India.
Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman has also been laying special stress on developing Indian defence products which can be used for improving the export of military hardware from here as it is almost negligible at this time.
In the recent times, the DRDO missile complex has helped in reducing dependence on imported missile systems due to successful development of various indigenous weapon systems such as the Akash air defence system.
According to estimates by the government agencies, the Akash missile system alone has helped the government save around Rs 34,000 crore worth of foreign exchange in defence deals.

I would like to see helina launched from LCH with target lazed by a drone.
We may never see another tank battle with Pakistan.

The range of Helina is 8km. There is no need for drone to laze the target. 8km is a small distance to see if you are even 1000 feet above ground.
Tank battles happen only after air superiority is achieved. Air superiority is everything in modern warfare.

bhai ....no news of helina...
but DRDO sant is under testing ..... which will be a good option than helina ........
and I am keen to see a tank battle ....coz We have arjun....
Helina is not a laser guided missile. Maybe some future version will sport hybrid seekers (IR/Laser/MMW), but as of now it's only IIR.

India’s Nag Finally Headed Into Army Service
The Indian Army will shortly begin inducting its first indigenously developmet anti-tank guided weaponry. The Ministry of Defence today cleared a $70 million for 300 Nag missiles and 25 modified BMP-2 ‘NAMICA’ carrier vehicles that will deploy the munition. For the Indian Army, which has operated off a staple of license-built Russian Konkurs and French Milan anti-tank missile variants for decades, the inbound Nag is a major milestone.
In a statement today, the MoD said, “In a boost to indigenisation and in realisation of India’s growing technological prowess, the DAC approved procurement of Defence Research and Development Organisation’s (DRDO’s) designed and developed NAG Missile System (NAMIS) at the cost of Rs 524 crore. The system includes a third generation Anti-Tank Guided Missile, the NAG, along with the Missile Carrier Vehicle (NAMICA). The NAG missile is a third generation anti-tank guided missile, which has top attack capabilities that can effectively engage and destroy all known enemy tanks during day and night. This will give a quantum boost to the Army’s capability against enemy armour.”
In an exclusive comment to Livefist, Dr S. Christopher, chief of India’s Defence Research & Development Organisation which has developed the Nag weapon system, said, “The twists and turns the program has taken are part and parcel of R&D. Thanks to our colleagues in the army, they pushed us a lot, and that has resulted in us getting the best out of the weapon.”
The Nag’s development has been typically troublesome, with the most recent hurdles accumulating around seeker performance in the extreme temperature conditions of India’s desert sector where the missile has been trialed for years.
Speaking of the challenges during trials that have kept the Nag for years in a seemingly endless loop, Christopher said, “In summer, there tank engine heat versus environment heat in a desert setting. Engine heat is hardly above that especially when switched off. It was difficult, we were pleading saying that our technology needs two degrees temperature differential. We especially had a critical problem around mid noon, from 11am to 3pm, because sun is very high and ambient temperatures are at their peak. The Nag’s range at this time was seen to fall by a few hundred meters to 3.2 km as against 4 km. In winter, there was no such problem.”
A new indigenous seeker that has been fielded in Nag trials over the last 18 months has evidently solved the problems bedeviling tests.
The Indian Army is currently looking to upgrade nearly 700 BMP-2 infantry vehicles, with integrated anti-tank guided missile systems. The Army is also reported to be near concluding a deal for Israel-built RAFAEL Spike anti-tank missiles for infantry battalions.
