DRDO and PSU's

Not to wade into your conversations, but this bit got my attention. Are you perhaps insinuating you might have some insider information about our military and armed forces (specifically anything about new programs or statuses/capabilities) that the mango man isn't privy to? I am asking because if you really do, and if you cannot reveal the information, can you please atleast tell me will this continue to be the year of blackpill for me and other defence bros? Or is there anything that me and mere bhai log can look forward to? Just a simple yes no answer will suffice.

In the manner in which MoD goes about its daily work of procuring stuff ,it gives out a lot of information.

Besides there are innumerable Tier 2 and 3 msme and companies whose names we haven't heard before who contribute to projects of national importance. These companies gives lots of detail about their products in their presentations and brochures. The listed companies give out annual reports and quarterly reports. Then there are presentations by DRDO senior scientists at various engg colleges and industry meets. They contain lots of information.

Like from a recent report by previous DRDO boss, we got to know that there's an extended range variant of K-15 called M5 under development. We got the pic of entire K4 missile from that.

Where do you think Porky Kicker gets his stuff from? He is an encyclopaedia in these things.

I know a very small part of the stuff. Even then like the others who know I refrain from posting .

Infact, there are guys out there who have part drawings and details of some exotic stuff. How do you think Indranil da knows so much? Neutron X provides him the required info in form of docs and pics taken from various sources.

How do you think we came to know that AD AH is a three stage missile before AD-AH model was even known to us? There's another missile called AD AM in this phase which PK knows about.

Infact Neutron X posted the first pic of LRAShM two years before. How do you think people know of the diameter of each stage of Veda and K5? Some out there know the exact dimensions of the stages of our Agnis and K series missiles.

Now the problem is those who know stuff, they are usually very grumpy about sharing them with other less knowledgeable folks like me. I know some bits and pieces here and there and some more stuff but nothing even close to the likes of Porky Kicker.

One example.

ADA used two GPS-INS systems in Tejas mk2 for navigation. One is the main unit while other serves as standby in case the main unit malfunctions. This G3INS has already been flight tested and cleared for installation on Tejas mk2.

Late last year ADA had issued a tender for 4 nos of LRU, ie two sets. Delivery should start

Delivery schedule is 12 months from the date of placement of contract .

Now you will get an idea about the rollout date of the first prototype.
 



So, based on brochure photo. Looks like some sort initial flight testing started for the product. Also we can assure this is an product benchmarked against the Heron MK2 used in our Armed forces. Hence similar appearance but also the slight improvements wherever required.
 
@Ayan Barat finally the twin electric contra rotating Rotors we discussed in whacky ideas thread is getting implemented in real life. And that too used by Indian company :)

Edit: Not exact same configuration. We envisaged a contra rotating coaxial common shaft for two electric motors. So that rigid blades could be more closer.
