So they are redoing VLSRSAM and I'm hoping SAAW v2 is an improvement. They need to order fast in batches and not wait for improvements.
This is interesting!
the naval sam is probably an effort to reduce the canister module weight, ie the whole 8 set one that is installed in the ship. Instead of those plume/jet deflectors that are placed below, now they probably gonna add vertical ducts for the same purpose?So they are redoing VLSRSAM and I'm hoping SAAW v2 is an improvement.

I am speculating but could it be XRSAM/ERSAM?There is nothing on astra 3 yet, esp with astra mk2 and 1 both in trials now. Rudram 3 some time away from testing. Pcb warhead for rudram 2 tender came up few days ago. Its probably sonic booms that is being heard.

We need to look at ordering more than 12 MKIs as one more has crashed lately. Around 40-50 more at UPG./MLU/Super Sukhoi specs would make perfect sense for restarting production. For 12, it doesn't make too much sense, IMO.ATGM soon apparently, though which it remains to be seen

Few years ago, we were discussing purchase of knocked down kits from Russia & assembling in IAF base depot.We need to look at ordering more than 12 MKIs as one more has crashed lately.
