Yes, Mig-29K.Posted it in navy thread
so, it will be on the mig29?
Ah it seems DRDO HGV project is conceptually ready at least and actual groundwork have already started by hiring technical and other services.
As expected, TARA kits to be made available for all the PG-HSLD and general purpose bombs, 250kg to 500kg all 3 types. Desi precision kit.
I do not think 1ton category bombs need such precision , Gaurav is ok as glide bomb on its own. It can go and hit where they want it to via satcom.

These shameless dalals will import weapons from countries like uae & poland but won't order indigenous systems.Al tariq being bought/license produced.

to be fair we do lack indigenous options on air launched weapon systems right now. plus it is likely a BEL/BDL jv, in the short term the best way to learn is to do jv, to learn different techniques, mfg process, handling, testing, QA/QC, storage etc. Then gradually the industry mature enough to do it independently. Per my understanding it will take at least 15-20 years to fully mature on the tech they are working on.
See how the navy & shipbuilding industry do things now & the gradual progress they have made.

Rathi Aerospace uses collapsible mandrel tech for these per their old post, I wonder if they could be a big player in this already.

Different shapes and sizes of Wax Based Collapsible Mandrel!! From 50 mm to 300 mm in diameter and length of 230 mm to 1200 mm. These collapsible mandrels…
ASL made their own way back in 2012 possibly to use on SLBM or other use I do not know well, the patent page has a DRDO citation from 2015
Mandrel assembly and method of manufacturing solid rocket propellant grain using the same
A Method For Fabrication Of Segmented Mandrel And Application Thereof
The present invention relates to a method/technique to fabricate segmented mandrel suitable for composite propellant and the compositions/formulations containing energetic ingredients. The present invention describes a method to achieve desired shaped of groove in the middle portion of the mandrel

the mfg tech is also mentioned in future DRDO propulsion task
I found this paper from 2015 , this must be a very important tech that may have matured enough by now.
This was not published much, but in theory IAF can easily buy via the emergency route without anyone knowing.
