What are these 2 jets on the left ?

Both AMCA ? Or variants for Navy and airforce ? And what tejas is the one on right ?

I don't have much knowledge of military items. Let me tag @KapitaanAli.

AMCA stealth/non-stealth as already pointed out. Also Tejas Mk1 FOC.

Same old models it looks like. Disappointed about this DefExpo as far as fighters are concerned.

Defexpo 2020: India unveils Wheeled Armoured Platform, upgraded Sarath IFVs

06 February 2020

The DRDO’s Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) IFV was unveiled at the Defexpo 2020 defence exhibition in Lucknow, northern India.

India's defence industry unveiled two new infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs), the Wheeled Armoured Platform (WhAP) and an upgraded variant of the BMP-2/2K Sarath, during the 5-9 February Defexpo 2020 defence exhibition in Lucknow, northern India.

The WhAP IFV, which is powered by a Cummins ISXe 600 turbocharged diesel engine coupled to an automatic transmission, has been developed by the state-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to meet Indian Army (IA) requirements, and is available in both an 8×8 and an 8×4 configuration.

"The vehicle's protection meets STANAG 4569 requirements, with actual protection levels depending on the task," a DRDO official told Jane's. The modular protection results in the platforms weight varying between 19 and 26 tonnes, with amphibious capability provided at up to 24 tonnes. The WhAP, which can reach a top speed of 100 km/h on land, has a cruising range of up to 500 km.

The WhAP is armed with the manned turret from the BMP-2. "It is the most cost-effective solution for the IA," said the DRDO official, pointing out that the turret is fitted with a 30 mm 2A42 main gun, a Kalashnikov PKT 7.62 mm co-axial machine gun, and a roof-mounted launcher for the AT-4 Spigot anti-tank missile system.

Meanwhile, India's state-owned Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) showcased an upgraded variant of the BMP-2 Sarath IFV. Compared with the baseline Sarath, this modernised variant is fitted with new sensor suites featuring thermal imagers and TV cameras for the gunner and commander.

Indian firm comes up with 180 km strike range missile

ANI

February 6, 2020

In a major boost for Make in India, an Indian firm JSR Dynamics came up with its indigenous 180 km strike range air to ground missile Khagantak at the ongoing Defexpo-2020 here.

Speaking to ANI, JSR Dynamics Managing Director Air Marshal SB Deo said, "The Khagantak missile is a guide weapon with excellent aerodynamic performance and a seeker in the front which has got artificial intelligence to recognise targets."

"The missile is an air-launch weapon with a range of 180 km when released from a height of 12 km," he added.

On the need to have more indigenous companies working for the Indian defence sector, Deo said that previously India had to spend enormous money on foreign firms to get equipment at an unreasonable cost.

"Earlier, we didn't have any choice but to buy equipment from foreign companies as it is a necessity for our defence sector. The government realised that with Indian companies making the equipment we can have it whenever we need it," he added.

Deo also said that there is a huge market for precision weapons and some of the countries offering these weapons are at times driven by political compulsion.

"These countries sell their weapons cheap but they are not of the required quality. On the other hand, India has cheap labour but smart. In India software comes naturally to us. It is only in engineering that we were behind but we have access to the best machines. We can amalgamate these resources and make sure that we are in possession to compete globally. Hence, we will the quality of equipment like Europe but our pricing will be according to the Asia market," he further said.

JSR Dynamics Managing Director expressed his happiness in having Indian companies producing jet engines.

He said, "If Indian-made jet engines are available then we will use those engines into out missiles. These missiles have a range of up to 297km, one carries a warhead of 72 kg and the other carries a warhead of 146 kg."

The 'DefExpo 2020' will culminate on February 8.
