So the first post in this thread was in 2009 was DRDO babu saying Nag will join army service "soon" ! Utterly shameful that even after 14 yrs this "soon" is still being repeated. Both IA and Babu's are at fault here

I do you one better man.

This is an article from my fathers book that I found. It dates back to 1991. Soviet Union still hasn't collapsed yet & the Warsaw pack just got dissolved. India was sending gold to the West in exchange of foreign reserves. And my father was younger to me in age.

30 years is an awfully long time.

We took 2 generations to develop Nag Missile. Still not induced in mass scale. But I am optimistic it will happen soon.

The cover did not survive sadly. It's a General knowledge & current affairs book from 1991. Like the ones people buy for sarkari exams.

Story of most indigenous defence products. Drdo is not blameless for this shitshow. In fact they were the worst offenders for the longest time in terms of making big promises which they could not deliver. Only in the last decade did things start to improve. And that is without going into the attitude of the Indian army

"DRDO under Kalam has done more on public relations than on proper research and development. That is the reason why many of our projects like LCA are terribly lagging behind in schedules," says Shankar Sen Chaudhury, an independent technical analyst based in Hyderabad.

"The structural environment in DRDO labs have to change if effective results in indigenisation is to take place," he adds.

Another problem is the rocky relationship that Kalam has with the armed forces. He and his colleagues argue that the forces do not have any specialists who understand the design and development concepts of DRDO. "Therefore, the armed forces always interfere in our projects halfway through," a DRDO scientist says.

Many say this messy relationship between DRDO, "the seller" and the three armed forces, "the buyers", should be blamed on both sides. "Kalam was a marketing man. He wanted to hard-sell his half-baked DRDO products to us, like the Arjun tank," says an army officer.

But DRDO asks: When the forces induct imported products without any trails, why can't they rely on indigenous products? DRDO officials say the only reason for this is that the army does not have the experience to induct an indigenous weapon system.

DRDO has been mouthing the politically correct mantra of indigenisation because a number of disgruntled scientists in the organisation charge, "Dr Kalam is a politician."

His critics say the problem is that India's defence programmes is a one-man show. "Only Kalam is recognised and acknowledged. It is ridiculous that thousands of us are working there, and only one man is framed in a glass house. That is the precise reason for the high rate of brain drain from DRDO," a disgruntled DRDO engineer said.

This entire series of posts showed the pathetic state of affairs inside DRDO and IA.

Maybe, will have to check. I don't have it right now. I took the pictures some time back while casually scrolling through old books.

I couldn't believe my eyes. The first time I read about Nag Missile in such a old book

Being a defence enthusiast I had always rooted for Nag Missiles success. Just didn't know the 1st missile was successfully test fired so long time back.
