The Video is too long. If you have seen it all, can you please summarize it briefly.

A lot of promises

 

[Abingdonboy]

do u think it would be Russia as they are developing new MBT

God I hope not! Keep away from those incompetent parasites!

Hopefully DRDO ties up with the French or Israelis for the FMBT.

 

[Abingdonboy]

So confirmation that it is the PM who has the authority/command to launch nukes...

 

[Tangent]

Too many things....let them finish the things in hand Tejas 2 Arjun -2

 

[Lostsoldier]

Well the same story. "Promises".I reckon DRDO fed it's fanboys.

 

[SpArK]

To prepare for tomorrow , they first have to revamp themselves.

The chiefs and heads of many departments are oldies who are just extending their tenure for material benefits.

Show them the door with honour.

@SpArK already done.
What is very interesting is that most of the programs are going to finish in a couple of years.
Both AC and NM have said that the review of these projects are going to be reviewed more often allowing quicker decisions.
Government already has stopped giving extensions. NM asked DRDO to set up a lab with only young people, including the head.
PM scraps DRDO’s 'retirement benefits' committee

Any specs on Pinaka Mk3 ? ... like range ?

65 KM+ with satellite based guidance.

 

[Shango]

65 KM+ with satellite based guidance.

60-64 km is range of MK 2, MK3 has to be at least 80-90 km.

 

[vsdave2302]

Dafuq? 5 tonnes heavier than MKI or F-22? Maybe they mean fully loaded weight?

NO IT SHOULD BE LOADED WEIGHT.

10 ton empty weight+ 5 ton fuel+ 7 to 8 ton missile bombs etc with 1 to 2 ton of other weight.

 

[vsdave2302]

60-64 km is range of MK 2, MK3 has to be at least 80-90 km.

It is more that MK2 but no precise figure of how much. I quote 65 KM + that is why.
