I guess they are in partnership with BEL or something.
5kn if its is at sea level then i guess it's enough for 300 kg supersonic missile(without booster), may be a A2A missiel can happen?
And obviously by addaing a booster to propell at 3 mach, a much large missile can be made.
I have watched most the videos of Saurav Jha from at least past 4 years. His older videos and currently work on RDE is great.
I guess you are talking about this interview?
He had talked about a flight test vehicle that would be used to verify the performance of his engine.
What has happened is that someone has taken the design of said flight test vehicle and added marketing to it. It is impossible that this flight testing vehicle will become any missile.
This one:
d-propulse is genuinely interested in making a Brahmos class cruise missile. Their argument is that the Brahmos is great but expensive. The price hinders our ability to have a large magazine depth for such a cruise missile. Look at 7:30 min on that video.
This is where the real challenge begins. There is only a handful of flight tested RDEs
