Meanwhile RPSA UCAV program hasn't been sanctioned yet. No impetus by MoD to improve this condition where programs are left gasping for funds until the last possible moment. And then wants in done in global record time.. Delusional / deliberate / systemic failure, choose one.

The only major IDDM aircraft development program that involves an 🇮🇳 engine (Kaveri Dry) & can partially help offset the shortfall in fighter squadrons is the one that gets least attention from all: the Ghatak UCAV Can have tech sharing with AMCA & derisk: LO materials, IWB et al

Delegation from the Armenia 🇦🇲 Army led by Col Mher Israyelyan visited Infantry School, Mhow on July 23, 2025 - Baby steps towards synergy imo
Seems like JF-17 can strike everything but Indian airbases.

ULPGM V2 (left) & V3 (right) Both have to be integrated with various other types of UAVs for greater proliferation within the forces & better utilization.
Konark Gunners successfully conducted 155mm artillery ammunition trials at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges - Does have nubs, so semeingly not Bourrelet after all.
Successful culmination of trials of indigenous ammunition at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges by @SWComd_IA - 155mm artillery shells, Bourrelet?

⚡️DRDO has successfully carried out flight trials of ULPGM V3 in the National Open Area Range (NOAR)

So ULM-ER looks to be Adani nomenclature for the DRDO developed ULPGM V3 Note how V3 is much longer than V2 This is a beast & its specs won't disappoint.
EOD, IAF & MoD are trusted to do what's needed to ensure necessary warfighting capability. However, there must be public accountability regarding how we reached the present dire situation & what is being done to ensure it does not happen again.
Bare minimum of 4 out of 11 NAVIC satellites providing core PNT services. Of 4 - IRNSS-1B has exceeded life - 1F has 2/3 atomic clock failure & is old. - 1I (2018) & NVS-01 (2023) working well All 3 clocks failed in 1A, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1G & being used for NMS now - NVS-03 launch by…
An 🇮🇳 military official: “The objective is to have the full GPS-equivalent of at least 26 satellites in the next 10 years. We must expand our NavIC constellation and provide space-based ISR for which we do not have a single constellation.” Via:shephardmedia.com/news/digital-b…
The powers that be thinking of ordering fighter jets at the last possible moment. No, Blinkit doesn't deliver those in 10 minutes. Or years. We can only try to minimize consequences to past inaction & most importantly not end up creating more problems with delusions of stopgaps.
