Here is the video, contains one of the above fin part making/finishing.
125mm restrictions.
I don't know why Army is putting this restriction. Since Konkurs is 135mm dia system, so at the very minimum a 135mm specification will allow both Javelin (127mm) and Spike 130mm.
+ - 5% always applies, this is tentative spec as well I guess. Some of our bmp already seems to have some atgm installed? This old thread had some info
wth is samho tube launched or gun launched? there must be many modern options , spike javellin any can do, even BDL amogha imo would get a shot despite that spec.
The Missile+ launcher weight should be less than 25kg too. I don't know much about the mmp. But it seems it will have a problem with that too.
One more thing, Army wants Commandar & Gunner to both be able to fire ATGMs simultaneously. So that's 2 ATGM launchers.
So far we have tested the CLGM after a brief timeout, and there is yet no sign of DRDO working hard on Samho. MPATGM on other hand is a MM project, and going full speed ahead. Several tenders, think we even got one with entire drawings of the article and propulsion doc. So would love to see if Samho really returns to the fold again.
Range of MPATGM is much less than the requirements so, i dnt think it is desired. LAHAT or SAMHO seems to be fulfilling the requirements.
true, vehicle mounted atgm would certainly want a higher range compared to manpad/atgm fired by normal soldiers. lets see what they get.

So, cross-posting again here, order expected timeline shared by BDL is below, note this is forward looking projection & may not come absolute true.
Interesting that Spike ER2 order is expected this FY

These expected timelines are so bad. It shows how the procurement process is still so convoluted and bureaucratic even for an indian developed project. No fundamental reforms happened in this regard last 9 years of this government.
Weren't they saying the expected order for QRSAM was supposed to come in 2024. Now it is 25.
Damn, we will have to wait till 26 to see VL-SRSAM and Akash-NG in service.
Interesting point is the timeline for LRLACM which is yet to be tested.
