    Is it known what multifunction radar you are going for on the Type-31/Iver? MFSTAR is a good platform and should work with the Barak-8 out of the box, though I don't think there will be any problem even if you go for a Thales radar. B8's seeker & fire control is fully compatible with Western...

    It would appear inclined box launchers amidships will be the way to go for any of these ships which weren't designed for VLS Brahmos from the get go. Vertically launching this missile would eat up too much space in the front, forcing designers to reduce the SAM farm. Box launchers for this...

    BrahMos Aerospace is technically registered as an Indian company, with DRDO as the majority shareholder (50.5%) with Russia's NPO Mashinostroyenia holding the rest. But we'll see how that is actually interpreted from a CAATSA standpoint...the US Govt has already shown a willingness to make...

    Looks like its going to be Aneto-1K based design after all, but modified for our needs just like Shakti was (for high-altitude use etc) and produced here.

    TR Propulsion Systems

    Yes you're thinking of Kaveri aka GTX-35VS. It's a different class of engine compared to HTFE-25 though - it had 52 kN dry thrust and 81 kN with afterburner, its in F404 class of engine, first ground test was conducted in 1996. But ultimately it could only achieve about 76 kN wet but not without...
