Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 30 June 2022
Total defense production in the country is about $10 billion. And someone's claimed half of that is for Brahmos. Government sets target of achieving defence manufacturing worth Rs 1.75 lakh crore by 2024-25 https://m.economictimes.com/news/defence/government-sets-target-of-achieving-defence-manufact...

Helo UAV can be embarked on most surface ships. Fixed wing UAVs are really shore based. Even Masa is still experimenting and just from their flat tops.
A good marinised platform will have lot of applications. ASW, AEW, Comm relay, SAR, etc.

Just want to correct your calculations slightly. If 190MW reactor is supposed to be an upgrade of Arihant 80MWe reactor then it will be 190MWe.
