Rudram 3 looks too heavy to be carried even by Sukhois. Guess it needs an Bomber….

So many drone systems. Proliferation of drones is scary. Forget defence. It’s a threat to personal safety in the future. In India, murderers don’t even have guns. So they chase you to hack you to death most of the time. You have an equal chance to escape.

With drones, develop an bomb pocket, and deliver it to the unsuspecting target. Might be looking far fetched. But I expect an drone kill on an civilian in this decade.

Both Rudram-II (350km) & III (650km) are anti-radiation missiles and similar in size to the air launched version of Brahmos. Su-30MKI should be able to carry it

Additional immediate orders for 37 expected. Overall numbers expected to be 170+ slowly over this decade and the next.

Slowly and steadily getting there.
