Excellent documentary by Rohit Vats on the state of various ATGM units in service with the IA .
Seems like the NAG saga isn't done yet, NAG Mk2 and 'all future variants of NAG', curious.

Iirc @Indrani1_Roy you had earlier questioned the need for a seperate NAG when Helina/Dhruvastra has JVC. Perhaps that will be addressed.
Also hoping for a Kornet, Konkurs replacement🤞 pic.twitter.com/cUVdLXpV4x
Is it a man portable NAG or new vehicle mounted one?
#Amogha-3 #ATGM by Bharat Dynamics Limited (#BDL) successfully testfired

It's a 3rd generation fire and forget man portable Anti Tank Guided Missile.#IADN pic.twitter.com/eIAxIVwnCo
They covered it before BDL took the tweet down. Save the pics
There's MP ATGM of DRDO & Amogha III of BDL in 3rd gen fire & forget category
There's older Amogha variant of wire guided atgm as a potential competition for MILAN/Konkurs.
3rd option
VEM Technologies AsiBal
VEM Technologies has displayed its AsiBal anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) at the Aero India 2023 show in Bangalore, which runs from 13 to 17 February.
The AsiBal is a third-generation manportable fire-and-forget ATGM. It is integrated with a tandem high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead with a penetration of 750–850 mm. The system weighs a total of 18.5 kg – the launch unit 6 kg, and the missile 12.5 kg.
The ATGM has a thermographic camera and a dual-mode infrared seeker, making it effective against explosive reactive armour (ERA)-protected vehicles at a maximum effective range of 2,500 m.
The average velocity of the AsiBal missile is 0.6 Mach, and it can be employed in a default top-attack mode as well as a direct-attack mode. The AsiBal has a dual-mode day and night imaging infrared seeker and it is equipped with a compact fire-control unit for surveillance and target acquisition. It is suitable for use against stationary and moving targets.
VEM Technologies told Janes that ballistic trials of the AsiBal have been successful and that the company expects to win a production contract soon.
Amogh 3 is by BDL alone.
The AsiBal by Vem is likely inspired from mp atgm, as VEM is a partner to DRDO in that project.
I don't understand this. Do these guys expect the IA to induct all these missiles ? And how come the DRDO tolerated VEM Technologies ripping them off & stealing a march over them ? After all the DRDO one is still under trial whereas the one from VEM Technologies is almost on the verge of being certified ready for induction.

Nice thread
From old articles . Either a joint partnership or tonbo is just a supplier of some parts .
BDL has a deal with tonbo to provide EO-IR (electro-optical-infrared) missile seeker and command launcher unit (CLU) that controls and launches the missile and engages with the target before launch .
before the launch of the missile, the target is acquired by the CLU. The target picture is handed over to the missile seeker and once fired the missile with Tonbo's eyes and brain (seeker) homes onto the target with cm level precision.
Unlike older generation missile systems which are wire-guided and missile-control is with the gunner even after its fired and the missile is manually manoeuvred towards the target. In fire and forget, once the missile is fired the gunner has no control over it and its seeker manoeuvres it towards the target.
It has an ‘uncooled’ imaging system and that cuts down the necessity of a cryogenic compressor to cool the imaging sensors. This in turn results in a reduction of total cost by 33 per cent to almost 50 per cent. seeker is built on their deep-learning technology . As the missile is fired, the seeker can identify the vulnerable parts of a target and reorient the missile to hit those parts.

One thing besides other points , i liked about this missile is smokeless propulsion . Will help making it difficult to locate the ATGM team in war .
Indian Army Rapidly Upgrading It's 9M113M KONKURS ATGMs For Night Engagement Here's A RARELY Seen 3rd Gen Thermal Imaging Sight Very Likely From Tonbo Imaging And Such Integration Is Game Changer For ATGM Range To +3 KMS Which Was Few Hundred Meters During Night. 🇮🇳🔥 pic.twitter.com/OIWPMPxMOn

The system is very unlikely Israeli A-TIM TI sight as it's has different controls, optics, & other details, the only thing looks same is just basic dimensions, here's a image comparison where we can see evident difference between both TI Sights. #IndianArmy pic.twitter.com/VnZ83z735i
