Nice, but how do they do the targeting?
No specific targetting pod AFAIK. I guess the missile itself has a missile-as-sensor that is used similar to Kh-31P and Rudram-1.
Of course, these missiles do have their own homing sensor. But intitial geolocation of SAM sites has to be done by specialised ESM pod, no? See for exmaple F-16CJ or Growler. Rafale, Gripen can also do that using their built in EW suite and networking as far as I read.
If they can integrate this one with Rafale, (upcoming ones) that is going to be an important step for IAF in SEAD/DEAD capability.
IA inducted and deployed a few of these during Galwan clash albeit with a Russian engine. Do you think we're now ready to induct this version?

So that we're prepared well beforehand and not running around like headless chickens with the typical drama of emergency procurements paying 5-10x the costWhat's the need to assume anything?
When it completes testing & enters service, they'll announce it.
