looks like all the drones and missiles were intercepted.
good air defense network makes a huge difference.
in ukr the same drones seemed successful, as Rus has taken out Ukr's AD network.

Why is Mod signing with BHEL for gun mount?
Shouldn't the contract be from Navy --> Shipyard --> Gun Mount vendor.
from the links this seem to be for existing & new ships. which ones? how many per ship?
existing ships does not have good guns currently? will there be refit?
