Indian armed forces use IAI Searcher2 and Heron/Eitan drones in large numbers( 200-250) but here these SeaGuardian drone are selected coz they can also perform various naval operations including that of ASW etc. These drones are capable of deploying sonobuoys and receive data from those and...

Basically It will be a medium weight multirole fighter with Indigenous AESA Uttam and IRST. Will have 11 hardpoints and will be able to carry Brahmos NG. In major components and weapons, apart from engine, pretty much everything will be Indigenous. Atleast this is what expected at this stage...

This suggests more armed drones are planned in near future.

They are undoubtedly one of the best surveillance drones in service in top militaries around the world. Indian defence forces use around 90 Heron 1 while 10 Heron TPs are on order. Interestingly all 90 Heron 1 drones are in process to be armed with laser guided bombs and ATGMs in one recent...

Yeah same Asraam. After issues with Python 5 integration ( some vibration issues), Asraam will now be the new wvr along with already integrated R-73s. In near future Tejas will have atleast 4 types of air to air missiles, Derby/ER, R73, Asraam, Astra.

No not officially but news articles and defence journalists in India have been often quoting its range as 40/40+ km. There are various old reports about same as far as I remember.

Astra to be integrated and test fired from Tejas soon. Hope Asraam integration is at hand as well.

40 km range at 40 knots. Not bad. Cab replace all the old SUT torpedoes in service for 2-3 decades.

HAL Dhruv's naval variant with nose mounted surveillance radar and other stuffs.
