Top 5 most mysterious loadouts

What mystery?
Astra is s radar guided missile with max range of 110km and effective range of 70-90km.
Tapas ng can use it's EO/IR( the ball on its chin) to guide the missile , so it can hit any target within 70-90km easily, especially other low speed isr drones.
While at the same time it will outrange any other drone in air to air combat as they only have EO/IR sensors and can only guide IR missiles at range of about 15-20km most.

So tapas will outrange any other drone and win any bvr engagement with another drone.
 
What the hell is Big brother of Cats warrior? Never heard of it before.
Current CATS Warrior is in fact a 2-ton loyal wingman UCAV powered by 2 PTAE-W engines with max combined thrust of 7-8KN. There is a bigger CATS Warrior under development which will be powered by HTFE-25 engine with max thrust of 25KN.

Not sure, but could be the HALE UCAN they are intending to build.

How EO/IR can guide a Radar guided missile?

I can go on and on, on multiple issues with ultimately concluding that it's just a mock-up by some intern who took creative liberty but the fact that you took your time to explain to me what's an EO "EO/IR(the ball on its chin)" is more than enough
Peace 🙏

Serious le liya kya mere comment ko?
I even explained that tapas will guide a "radar" guidedmissile with it's "EO/IR", while others can only guide "IR:guided missiles with their "EO/IR".
