DRDO and PSU's

[shade2]

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.

No news source is reporting it apart from OSINT handles. Not even local Gujarati news.

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.

theprint.in

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.

Forget the box. Use CLGMs and take a bit of range penalty. Scale down SAMHO maybe.

None of these are probably an option right now. So the box stays.

Transport by rail, weight, launcher sticking out, CLGM...all are minor issues.

But tell me what'll happen if a tiny FPV with shaped charge strikes here?

Hmmm.... may be we should start covering our AFVs with volleyball nets.

The carousel can store only 12 rounds, 16 if you manage to convince it. Assuming you've atleast 30 rounds [which is quite low as typically it's around 40], 14 of our rounds are in the hull.
Most probably these, besides the driver...

A FPV carrying a 2.2kg PG-7VL warhead, would easily get a pen of 200mm RHA beyond ERA. If no ERA then 500mm.
In few years PLA would be up-gunning its ICV with 40mm auto-cannons; a pen of 125mm at 3km using APFSDS.

If those are something else then it's fine but if those are indeed additional ammunition then we're cooked.
And by cooked I mean both Merriam-Webster and UrbanDictionary definitions.

And because we have lot of manpower, we can also depute few soldier with large swatters in adjacent cupola to gunner...

Now we all are ISI bots.

Anyone questioning UN generals automatically becomes anti national.

What's funny is he is using the screenshots of ER Sakthivel who was an old member in DFI and long time people in DFI remember as the one person defending LCA Tejas vigorously using technical data.

To call him ISI agent is like calling Saurabh Jha a PRC agent. Completely nonsensical.
