The proposal is only for Army Rudras only.
Defense channel busybodies on YT reporting Prachanda & Rudra.
Army was pushing for like 40 launchers for Rudras so that RFP can be issued.
Prachand won't be getting it soon
Yeah AoN for army & navy projects only, wanted to know if the IAF version could also get an extension to this AoN without further delay/whole set of new dev trials.
This could be easily done but till now no interest from IAF.
Maybe if we see 3 more Rudra squadron order from IAF, then
HELINA missile: Nag ATGM system completed all trials, ready to be inducted in the Indian Army
From September 2021, talking about AoN.
Its 15 months.

AoN lasts for 2 years right? With each passing day my belief that IAF is in fight with the govt vision of indigenous weapons plan grows stronger. Navy & army have some degree of acceptance & willingness as both have budget lower compared to IAF, so they can improve allocation. I do not blame army pushing for extra apaches, MoD cleared numbers for them. But IAF, despite getting loads of imported stuff & a huge outlay, are still in a standoff over mrfa & other induction imo.
Making up stuff is not "reporting".
The only source as of now is a press release. So no need to second guess it.
DRDO to make 4 variants of NASM-MR missile, will boost Indian Navy against China
In order to adress the big chasm in capability between the Indian navy and the PLA Navy (PLAN), the Defence Reseach and Development Organisation (DRDO) has been given permission to develop an indigenous anti-ship missile
Sad state of defense reporting in India. Legitimizing clickbait website **** by giving them as source meanwhile people on twitter who attended #AAW2023 seminar are the actual source.
Depends upon speed.varunastra full combat range is 20 km, someone during defexpo discussion elsewhere told me its over 40km

So where's the press release ? Shouldn't you have been posting that press release here as soon as you came across it so to as to kill all unnecessary speculations ?!
Its posted on multiple relevant threads.
Attack Helicopters of IAF - LCH Prachand, AH-64E Apache : Updates & Discussions
What are people's thoughts on helicopters overall? I think Ukraine's war has downgraded helicopters in terms of importance. Drones, atgms and cost really make you question the utility of helicopters given the primary role being anti tank generally. Apache is the same price as a F-35 basically...
People with common sense don't usually jump on speculations that easily.
Yes & speculations are just that - educated guesses. Unless you're of the opinion the Helina would never be integrated to the LCH ever .Its posted on multiple relevant threads.

I thought you wanted to "kill unnecessary speculations".
PR specifies ALH so it's not "educated" is it?
In the event it did just that . Congratulations . You deserve an award .
And I asked you if you're of the opinion the LCH would never be integrated with the Helina ?
How is my opinion relevant here? The topic is about what was approved by MoD.
By speculating will we make it happen?
Let's just say you either don't know the way the news industry operates irrespective of the media they operate in or you're extremely selective in your interpretation of it .
Now while there are sites & channels who BS on a regular basis & are auto filtered thus don't even need filtering , you'd differentiate between the 2 Guptas - Shishir & Shekhar where the former is bad but the latter passes muster , while it's well known that Shekhar Gupta carried out the biggest hit job in recent times in the media at the behest of his patrons in the Congress , out of gratitude presumably for the Padma Bhushan he received earlier , by coming up with his "coup stories" to damage the reputation of Gen V.K.Singh , thereby earning the moniker of Shekhar Coupta by which he's still known in some quarters. Use it in your replies to tweets to him & earn a block for your pains.
Yet we don't see you issue disclaimers for Shekhar Gupta the way we see you issue disclaimers for Shishir Gupta.
So you are calling fanboy YouTubers "news industry" now?
The point is, whomever published this report is based on the original source of MoD press release. In that there is no need for speculations or opinions because it's clear about what it intends to communicate.
