    The AAP-Wheeled indeed seems to be Kestrel 2.0 - the next generation of the platform that builds on all the knowledge gained & testing done so far (we have Army's IPMV order, BSF/CRPF orders & Moroccan order to thank for that). AAP-Tracked seems to be intended for the FICV requirement (BMP-2...

    The 'pause' has 'resumed'. The review process is over - they have concluded that NGAD in its current shape & size is indeed what's needed. That's what I'm telling you. This was early this month...

    No, these are official artist renders, courtesy USAF itself. There may be small changes in the production variant, but nothing major. The design is almost set in stone by this point. They've decided to go with the Penetrating Counter Air concept that they were working on all these years instead...

    So this has been labelled as LRGR-120, so presumably this is the 120-km rocket: Some people have seen tender documents that mention a 'LRGR-300' alongside the 120, so a 300-km rocket could yet emerge - also compatible with the Pinaka launcher, but perhaps only 2 or 3 rounds per box instead of...

    They said that the AN-32 was able to carry only 3-4 tonnes of equipment or men into Kargil while the C-130 J Super Hercules, which carried out its first night landing early last year, could carry only 6-7 tonnes.

    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:
