[cirr]

Twin-engine for such a tiny drone?

Good lord and good luck!

Indians can't make their own rifle.

I give Indians 10 years to toil with then abandon this drone

Yes, but not initially.

Back end work is happening though.

Rustom 1, a tech demo, was seen doing taxi trials with Helinas a year+ ago.

Because it can carry more payload and its made in India. Mass production will give us complete set of industries to make Aura a great success. It's same like predators, CH5

Well certainly doesn't look anything similar to the "Indian air-force drone" in movie "Interstellar" one after which matthew mcconneghey went off the cliff thing could power a whole countryside
