Possible sir. But why understate the range of of an SLCM when we have made public the range of Nirbhay, which is twice that?

This is truly a red letter event. In defense production, India has not produced anything as complex as a fighter aircraft in bulk.

Manu Pabby is always the go to guy to peddle all kinds of dirt on indigenous weapons systems. The modus operandi is always the same. Some unnamed sources will be quoted.

It would seem that the Netra MK2, would be at least 4-5 years away from getting ready. If they would be getting ready earlier, then opting for additional Netra MK1, would not make sense.

I believe so. The first series of tests might be from ground based launchers, just like with Astra Mk1. The next series of tests will be from the Su-30MKI.
