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...

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...

What @kakaliam2 said mostly. Also, AMCA is being pursued for strategic reasons - inculcating a domestic industry. Additionally, it'll be needed for the nuclear delivery role, as it's unlikely F-35 will be allowed to do that in IAF. F-35, if it does end up coming, will be a stop-gap as IAF is...

AMCA will not be effected. But MRFA competition will be. It's highly likely that we'll cancel it going forward.

(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said the US would offer the F-35 warplane to India as part of a bigger commitment to deepen defense ties. The US will increase sales of military hardware to India by “many billions of dollars,” Trump said at a joint White House press conference alongside...

Hmm...signaling?

Ideally, yes there should be an alternative engine. Also ideally, we should continue working on Kaveri so it can eventually replace at least the F404 during a future MLU of Mk-1/Mk-1A jets (remember, these airframes will be going through at least 2 or even 3 engines over their lifetime). I...

Mk-1As flying at the Air Show:

Around ~2400 TRMs on this one as per one calculation. Sure is gonna be a big a$$ radar, will nicely fill out the huge nose of the Flanker. And here's the spec sheet...it's gonna be GaN-based! Btw, more radars from the show... 1:2 scale model of AESA meant to go on the AMCA (slanted for...
