Chances are she will get GlideFire SSM (if available by then), Scantar SSR, LTR-25 ASR and VL-SRSAM.
Its due date in one indi list/import ban list is around 2029-30 so plenty of time. Make 2 so whoever comes forward will need to work on other similar systems first. Hopefully Solar can do with their proposed 250km variant tweaked a bit , possibly need to make new launcher system as well.
