There's no official word on the 105 IFG replacement/upgrade yet. However, private companies like Kalyani have internally developed solutions to fill that role into the future with an SPG instead, like the Garuda 105 (below). As a lot of the project leads on these programs tend to be ex-Army...

Not much literature is available that I know of.

This also marks 7 out of 7 successful launches for the LVM3...this is truly turning out to be a reliable launch vehicle, couldn't ask for a better platform for the upcoming human spaceflight missions! Pics from yesterday's launch:

Hard to say...there is no active intent or roadmap to procure a 6th gen capability at the moment. Without such a directive/request from IAF, the Govt is not going to fund any program. In the future (~2040-2050s), the MKIs will need a next-gen replacement centered around air-superiority roles...

Missed this news back in Feb... Apparently, the India-US air-launched UAV will have its first flight toward end of the year. https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/india-us-to-jointly-develop-uavs-and-share-ip-rights/articleshow/97828791.cms?from=mdr

If the TRM tech, power output & back-end components/software are the same, the mainlobe detection range will be the same. Like I said, the downside you will experience will happen wrt the sidelobe performance, FoV & interleaved operations capability. As in, if you have 100 TRMs you can dedicate...

News from last month, but hugely significant at indicating the battery R&D capabilities of domestic companies: JLR leverages Tata Group synergies, selects Agratas as battery partner for 720km range EVs Tata Group-owned Agratas is to supply battery packs of up to 120kWh capacity for future...

I'm able to think of 4 main reasons why the Rafale was chosen over the F/A-18 for Navy: 1) Commonality with IAF. With things like Joint Logistics Nodes (JLNs) taking shape, plus Performance-Based Logistics contracts in place, maintenance of a very high availability & sortie rate will become...
