It’s a big day for the Indian weapons programme on March 3 with two major systems to be handed over to users. In a formal ceremony in Hyderabad, Defence Minister A.K. Antony will ceremonially entrust to the IAF its first Akash medium-range surface to air missile units, while the Indian Navy will get its first Advanced Light Torpedoes (TAL), both systems developed indigenously by the DRDO.
Good News..waiting for LCA & LCH
when varunastra be inducted
can we have the specs of TAL pl…
What happened to our beloved Astra? Any news?
What's the obsession with "light weight". Light weight aircraft, light weight tanks, light weight submarines, light weight ???
Well finally DRDO actually delivers a real weapon other then models, blueprints, artwork, design specs and conceptwares. I think that is an achevement in itself regardless of how good the weapon is.
Great news. All the best…
TAL with just 6 min endurance and 22 knots of speed,,its rangle is just 2.2 miles
Good news….What abt the SPYDER SAM ….is the deal on track.Shiv can u give some light abt the SPYDER SAM deal..It is supposed to be inducted in 2012..Another news saw in Janes Weekly site…that Indian army has begun trail of 4 carbine systems from 4 foriegn vendors…Shiv can u provide some info on which are the vendors??

Great going DRDO !!
Akash missile has silenced its critics. And the TAL was never discussed as much as Akash, Arjun or Tejas are. It was so hush-hush and suddenly it has been inducted !
It is a very good surprise. Overall, very good News.
