@randombully land based vlsrsam trial, do you think iaf or army will procure it?

Hmm, airforce can be expected, army showing interest is surprising.
If army did decided to procure lighter vl srsam with a small 15kg warhead, we can safely assume it's pinpoint accuracy and hit probability are excellent even against small anti suface/ anti ship missiles.
Best in its class.
Making an institution like army change its mind, especially indian army demands some serious performance.
Army did initially went for heavier qr-sam with twice the warhead size, when vl-srsam was in development.
