The launch was so far successful (16 satellites have been inserted, and 20 more to come a bit later when that orbital location arrives). Here is the live coverage ISRO provided for interested members....now archived. The rocket launch starts around 32 minute mark.

They always sign MOU easily. Have to see what actually transpires. Israel has lot of (acquired and deployed) applied knowledge here be it the telemetry specifics (so this reduces testing time for us for example)... with even the same elements we acquired from them earlier (green pine etc)...

Probably most cost effective platform to test and validate lot of new technologies on that apply and scale to rest of the ballistic missile family. India is hitting a sweet spot on maturation of lot of these technologies after prolonged development since the 1990s proving grounds of the 1st...

I am unsure what you mean? It is same doctrine as having IRBMs. It is an upgrade to current IRBMs India fields. Similar to upgraded pressure brought to bear (on soviets) by US with pershing dev + upgrade back in the 70s/80s...when you have relatively short range theatre space nearby.

It is updated IRBM...which is good as Agni 1 and 2 are getting older now. So prime is Canisterized, more portable and better guidance and control. The maneuverable re-entry vehicle is also a big feature of the system.

Count me in. I would like to hear from members what they would like to see me write on (as vague or as detailed as they prefer). I will also like to see a few articles done first by others so I get idea of how this works. Folks like @Anmdt hopefully :)

too much vagueness in the methodology for me to take seriously: https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/methodology

If machinery is transferred and workers have been trained on it....seems like its a go. Anyway year-end is not far away, lets see.

How true do you feel all this is @Jackdaws et al? https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/pakistan%E2%80%99s-worst-nightmare-indian-kashmir-thrives-205316

Bro, its a whole factory though and large scale commitment, its going to kick in at some point: During the Defence Expo 2020 in Lucknow, Major General Sengar announced that the IRRPL facility in Amethi would produce ~ 75,000 AK-203 annually for 10 years. It was announced that 670,000 AK-203...

I am unsure what you are asking... Yes some countries sell (or license) some IP regarding reactor technology...especially if it is well established basis (developed say 20 - 50 years ago and well established as strictly commercial use). Other IP is held closer to chest and not for sale...

DefExpo 2022: IAF to phase out Mig-29, Mirage and Jaguar fighter jets by 2035; LCA Mk2 will replace them https://newsable.asianetnews.com/india-defence/defexpo-2022-iaf-to-phase-out-mig-29-mirage-and-jaguar-fighter-jets-by-2035-lca-mk2-will-replace-them-rjzimx Don't know what they quite mean...

Yeah but looks like AK production starts later this year: https://indianexpress.com/article/india/production-ak-203-rifles-india-year-end-russian-official-8215043/ This is all stuff that should have gone to SSS....they need a huge order from IA....not just a few spec ops.

Thanks for continuing to update us @Bogeyman
