So what buddy. Everyone knows about that. But one correction. Its not a successor of trishul. Its a blend of MICA and TRISHUL. And all the important systems that includes active homing-head, thrust vector control, terminal guidance system and composites for a modified propulsion system for the missile will be done by MBDA only. And later they have to transfer technology to DRDL for indian development. So till that time we need a gap filler. Dont worry this will take another five years if it goes as per plan for MAITRI development or may be extended 2 more years too.
3-4 YRS First test. Filler is IGLA - 18+
BTW foreign JV so they'll whip DRDO's Chalta Hai attitude.
