Seems like HAL wants it for less than 2k crores.

yes...but STAR nd brahmos hv similar liquid fuelled ramjet engine...so we can develop a super cruise missile like brahmos from STAR target testing platform in future. we r not hearing anything about brahmos NG development. so i was saying may be they want our own mini brahmos later from STAR missiles.
i dont think brahmos NG alternative lie in project ITCM nd vishnu. coz brahmos NG is supercruise missile is based on ramjet engine. meanwhile subsonic missile ITCM is based on turbofan engine nd hypersonic vishnu missile will be based on screamjet engine.

1. STAR is developed as a product of existing technologies India has for interception exercise. Star is not a precursor for BrahMos in any circumstances (unless you wish to see a BrahMos variant getting intercepted by CIWS). STAR is a confirmation that we have technology and not a TD of BrahMos.
2. In terms of role, ITCM and Project Vishnu fulfill the requirement. BrahMos-NG being produced though is a good to have thing as other great powers too produce multiple kind of weapons for same role to keep options open, BrahMos and STAR are not and not required to related.

Actually phanboys are blaming AMPL now instead of HAL lmao. Not here but on X. Blaming GoI for unnecessarily pushing private players when well established PSUs like BEL was there. PSU phanboys are doing everything to save face of HAL who is probably the one behind delay of certification of SVK to begin with.

IAF chief was right about these loonies, they should import hundreds of more Rafales instead of wasting time on these babus.

Isme merit kaha se aya sir. It's just corruption through and through. DRDO has done its job and even suggesting practical solution. It's HAL being Dalal again.

"DRDO officials point out a viable alternative—integrating the Uttam radar with imported EW systems until the SRK suite receives complete certification. In fact, making HAL’s decision even more perplexing, in a recent internal communication to HAL and DRDO in April, CEMILAC stated that the Uttam radar had completed four phases of flight trials. Additionally, the radar hardware had undergone qualification tests according to the LCA Mk1A’s requirements. To facilitate the induction of the radar, CEMILAC recommended commencing production of the radar subsystems, with HAL’s avionics division in Hyderabad serving as the lead system integrator."

Uttam + Israeli EW is possible but HAL don't wanna accept that solution..

Any subsystem we are importing dozens of MSME were loosing projects/revenue etc.

Also LRTR radar is in service for 3 years. But still MFSTAR is preferred owing to Barak 8

This is completely a show run by incompetent fools both in HAL and DRDO and no way a merit based institution like IAF will take any product on the go either one provide full fledged solution this jugaad doesnt work in situations when Tejas will be flying again enemies.

This basically means incompetent fools both in DRDO, HAL and certification authorities never planned and even if planned were unsuccessful for achieving the certification hence by the pressure of IAF… HAL just doing what they do best screwing few nuts n bots fckin incompetent clowns and people expect then to deliver AMCA..

We can only rely on merit based mega corps to deliver some good results not some Non merit PSUs or start up run by children of filth like Chandigarh lobby…

Sell both DRDO and HAL to Adani, Ambani, LnT otherwise we will see AMCA getting stretched till kingdom come
