DRDO and PSU's

FICV is on the card anyway and the Zorawar chassis will be shared (albeit engine will go the front). For how long it's taking to finalize a BMP based system, and for a measly 4 ready-to-fire missiles, why not wait for the FICV to materialize.

I guess your DPSU guys are fedup of being abused by the "Customers" over delays so that's why they get stuff out of the door instead of spending time developing FICV or whatever else which will further malign their image.

Namica mk2 could serve as a test bed to get everything working, they could then transplant the same turret model to FICV/Zorawar chassis from the current BMP2-Pro-Plus-Max one.

Drishti 10 Starliner drone crashes off Porbandar during Naval pre-acceptance trial by vendor

Known as Hermes 900, the drone is being assembled by Adani Defence and Aerospace which has a tie-up with Israel's Elbit. There would be no losses for Navy as it hadn't been inducted.

Snehesh from Shekhar Coupta's website has reported it citing "Naval sources"

This was during vendor trials

Drone was ditched in the water and will now go back to the vendor( Adani or Israel is not mentioned? ) for them to investigate

Why? Rail lines have enough clearance on sides to take 3.59 m t 72

My point of posting this was to retail the diagrams in the forum not due to extended length

In my opinion even if we have to remove the LM/ATGM launcher it doesn't cause much operational issues as we can attach them after unloading from trains or transport aircrafts
Not very significant to be concerned

Since this was during acceptance trials, Adani (or IAI) should bear the entire expense and replace the drone.

End of the day the ones paying the real price (not just $s - blow to indigenous efforts, armed forces capabilities, forex) will be the nation. This one crash hardly puts a dent in Adani's overall balance sheet. But this idea of screwdriver giri is going to hurt us.
