We started using Indian seeker for later part of the tests (after 2014-15). We were using agat seeker. I presumed you were talking about current one.Just read what you posted carefully. It is all there.

The very heart of their ability to hunt down aircraft in the air, their seeker, had been replaced. The existing Russian Agat 9B1103M active radar seeker used on the Astra had been replaced with an Indian Ku-band seeker developed by the DRDO’s Research Center Imarat (RCI) in Hyderabad

New Delhi, July 08: The indigenously built third generation Anti Tank Guided Missile (ATGM) Nag was successfully test-fired at Pokharan test firing range on Sunday, said reports.
The missiles were test-fired during both day and night during the trials. Reports have said that the production of Nag missiles army begin by the end of 2019. Given this, these final rounds of testing could be to make sure that there are absolutely no design flaws. Winter user trials of the Nag ATGM were successfully completed in December 2018. DRDO has been working on the Nag ATGM for over a decade, said reports.
Nag is a third-generation, fire-and-forget, anti-tank guided missile developed by India's state-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to support both mechanised infantry and airborne forces of the Indian Army.

The NAMICAs are the launch vehicles of the Nag missiles and can carry six missiles at a time, which can destroy enemy tanks and infantry combat vehicles from a distance of 7 to 8 kilometers.
The third-generation anti-tank guided missile (ATGM) Nag is slated to enter production by the end of 2019, reported The Diplomat in February 2019 quoting a senior Indian defense industry official.
The report further says that the Indian Army is expected to purchase 8,000 Nags with an initial order of 500 NAGs. The ATGM system will be manufactured by India's sole missile producer, state-owned Bharat Dynamics Limited.
The missile incorporates an advanced passive homing guidance system and possesses high single-shot kill probability. It is designed to destroy modern main battle tanks and other heavily armoured targets.
Nag missile has a land variant and an air launched variant. The land version has a range of upto 4 kms while the air launched version has a range of around 7-10 kms.

Did I get that right ? 8000 fooking missiles ? If that is so then the long wait has been worth it.

NAG (mounted) has a range of 4 km, but in Low Visibility condition, whereas in clear Line of Sight condition, it has a range of 6 km#IndianArmy pic.twitter.com/X0qPvJU153
Now coming to MPATGM
— Sankalan Chattopadhyay (@VinodDX9) July 8, 2019
At least two MPATGM coming.
One will have 2.5 km range, other with higher DOP and 4 km range.
Remember, it was reported that DRDO MPATGM being developed with VEM , and VEM AsiBal has 2.5 km range. May be 4 km range one is Jasmine, but not sure. pic.twitter.com/3cqaGPgYPO
We have far superior propulsion tech compared to Israel. For the same size of electronics, our propellents will have higher kinematic efficiency and will give longer ranges and higher initial thrust for same amount of propellent.Thread

Navy's old girls are having some fun. INS Delhi(D 61) at fore and INS Mysore(D 60) at the back.
Photoshopped, its the name of a Facebook page posting defence news/pics etc. The photo was originally published by the Navy, the facebook page owner photoshopped it on the pic before posting it on their page.What is it "Tejas India's MRCA". Is it really painted on D61 or is it photoshopped.
