    Don't know yet, things will become clearer with time. PSMC isn't so much into design (they do some designs, but that's not their focus) - they are a fab, they take designs from customers & just build the chips. Once the fab is in place, they'll be building chips designed by any number of...

    As part of a future deep refit, perhaps. It would depend on what kind of housing we plan for it. If it's superstructure-based then perhaps not possible, if it's going to be mast-based then it's possible. But we are talking about like ~15 years in the future. MFSTAR is perfectly capable for any...

    Vikrant was always meant to have MFSTAR. The only radar that's intended to fill the shoes of something like MFSTAR is the LRMFR - and that system would only arrive for the NGD & further.

    We've already sold various types of ammo via UK as an intermediary, so I doubt we are fundamentally opposed to it. I guess it'll come down to whether the price is right.

    They've got the MACS accessory interface system as well - a clip-on rail that ensures no holes are drilled into the helmet's shell (which would otherwise slightly compromise it's integrity around those spots).

    Sure hope so - the ARAD being a short-stroke piston would make a neat replacement for the direct-impingement Colt M4A1s and especially the older TAR-21s. Place of origin shouldn't matter when it comes to equipping SOFs - they should get the best there is, period. If Russian FSB & SSO have no...

    Correction, it appears the HPR that was cleared for procurement now is an interim one, Israeli IP manufactured by L&T. The indigenous HPR (ground based version of LRMFR) is probably still a few years away.

    No word on numbers but the HPRs are worth $720 million and AD guns worth $850 million. https://aninews.in/news/national/general-news/ccs-clears-rs-13000-crore-iaf-projects-for-high-power-radars20240222200649/ HPR: L&T CIWS (Sudarshan):

    Hard to say the "per unit cost" of a ship. Depends on it's displacement, capacity & features. Plus whether it's going to be the same design as something IN is already paying for (lot of the R&D cost would already be amortised in that case) or if it's a new custom design (where the R&D cost...

    No, this is the Tata-Satellogic JV right? I think the "spy satellite" part is exaggeration. It's an EO sat is all, yes the resolution is very good and the datasets may be contracted by commercial integration cells of various strategic services but I wouldn't call it a "spy sat" just for that...
