So this has been labelled as LRGR-120, so presumably this is the 120-km rocket: Some people have seen tender documents that mention a 'LRGR-300' alongside the 120, so a 300-km rocket could yet emerge - also compatible with the Pinaka launcher, but perhaps only 2 or 3 rounds per box instead of...

India ranks third globally in chip design research papers Authors from Indian organisations contributed 39,709 papers, which was 8.4% of the global share of 472,819 research papers during the period. India's contribution grew 26% in the five-year period, in line with the country's emerging...

They said that the AN-32 was able to carry only 3-4 tonnes of equipment or men into Kargil while the C-130 J Super Hercules, which carried out its first night landing early last year, could carry only 6-7 tonnes. However, the C-17 will be able to fly in close to about 35 tonnes, which is nearly...

Now what is this?? Paywalled article from Jane's about the BM-04: https://www.janes.com/osint-insights/defence-news/defence/indias-drdo-unveils-bm-04-srbm There's a neat little infographic in there as well.

Some more pages from the brochure:

So this is basically an Agni-1P but with an even more maneuverable RV that legit qualifies as a HGV. Essentially, this thing is our counterpart to the Dark Eagle LRHW. Of course our solid propellent tech isn't yet as good as the US so despite being longer & heavier it won't attain the same...

Project Dhvani: @Afif As I said before, it's clear now that multiple different HGV configurations are being experimented with. And note the BM-04 next to it. Its RV is the same finned HGV we saw as a wind tunnel model before:

Ok so here's our first look at the 300mm rocket:

They want to put the Kalyani artillery on the back of a Humvee platform (AM General owns the original Humvee IP) to offer a combined solution. Kalyani has had this dream for a long time now...

Rudram-3 long range ARMs Astra Mk1 BVRAAMs SAP-518 wingtip jammers That's a beast of a DEAD config!

Haven't been following that but at Aero India they displayed a model of a Pinaka launcher with 4 x tubes per box: The regular Pinaka has 6 x tubes of 214mm per box: ...so it seems a larger diameter rocket is coming that can be fired from the same launcher, just in a different config...

NRT Abhimanyu CCA (collaborative combat aircraft aka loyal wingman), this will be launched from carriers and team up with the Navy's MiG-29K (Rafale in future): ADE Ghaatak IUSAV, autonomous stealth strike (model is of the subscale SWiFT prototype): Scaled model of the serpentine...
