Is anyone aware of the procurement schedule for the LMM (Martlet) that was ordered? I wonder if the IA has plans to mount them on ALSVs.

The requirement for laser beam riding anti air missile was limited to the army. The requirement for VSHORAD and its man portable version is from all three services.

Starstreak/LMM was a back channel deal done for political reasons. It was signed around the same time as the India-UK FTA and that too without field trials.

If it really had a requirement for a LBRM, the IA could have easily chosen the RBS-70NG instead which had competed in successive VSHORADS tenders.

There could be more surprises in store with the India US interim trade deal which is around the corner. And I'm not just talking about the Javelin here.

Time to Stop Mockery of Atmanirbharta in Defence

Is the much-touted Make in India or atmanirbharta policy in defence in danger of being hijacked by firms that emphasise assembling foreign-designed products and passing them off as indigenous platform

Lol, I am at a loss for words 😂 😂 😂 😂
One of the four test flights carried out on 18-19 May, the missile (called Predator Hawk in Israel) broke into pieces in less than 15 km at a height of 7 km minutes after the launch,
