Very good read on ballistic anti ship missiles.
 
Man, I don't know how much rang we have done regarding these foreign systems. IA is simply in love with these imported weapons and our DRDO is also to be blamed. They have mastered missile technology but can't make MPATGM and VSHORADS without tripod. IA is happy with Spike having tripod but not with MPATGM.
Its about weight and man portability not tripod.
 
This project is also delayed, tender was out in 2023 but still ongoing. Supposed to be something air launched, probably rockets from heli since its TBRL ?

Some test of project STAR should happen this year or sometimes , they are buying the interstage snap off connectors (separates the cruise vehicle from launch vehicle I guess, similar to hstdv). Kinda funny that they tested hypersonics first well before supersonic ramjet. Hopefully past experience and all these years expertise with LFRJ handling works, still no telling given the engine is really the critical part.

PJ10 people are also up to something , lots of work packages this year so far, not sure for what tbh. Could be NG.

warhead fabrication and testing work is about to pick up pace in various projects. Rudrams, Pralay, AD series, pinakas, saaw, itcm, vshorads, nag, akash Ng, mpatgm all of these. This is part of weaponisation & not included in the dev trials. Warheads are tested & qualified separately.

New generation of warhead s?

Well the fillings are improved I guess, which is the work of HEMRL mainly, ARDE then qualifies the full warhead with explosive filling. SAAW warheads are being made, 12 each for 5 types totaling 60. Then the long range rocket trials are coming up next month. Possibly the gun trials will also happen soon.
 
Request to anyone who knows how to edit the wikipedia pages.

1. Create a new wiki page for MRSAM and remove it from the Barak-8 page. Stop using the name of LRSAM for this missile.

2. Edit the wikipedia page of List of Equipment of Indian Amry. Remove the missiles of Indian Air Force from the air defence section like PDV Mk-2, AAD and PDV.

IAF just inaugurated some weapon systems school , won't that be very harsh? :sneaky:;)
CAS even mentioned of all things under one umbrella. Project 394 still has major validity after so many improvements & used in other projects.
