The lizard wasn't creating any problems for you at this moment. This will just ensure further proliferation of tech nothing else.
Showing space deterrence to shiver the baki audience? who are in primitive stage in space tech.
Don't know but one doesn't show the balakot, solah proof and celebrates a ASAT test. Great optics just based on beliefs. I see it a rather a redux of smiling buddha. Modi's policies are known to him only...Kudos to the scientists for acheiving this feat.

Saar, the hyphenation has already happened post pulwama. Can't deny that. My comment stems from current scenario and then questions the need for the test if you are locked horns with baki and it's antics. There are many low hanging fruits (truly a joke when indian journalists are justifying balakot BDA by showing the israeli attacks on hamas) that needs resolution rather than flexing with an ASAT test.
If one really want to counter the lizard, then fix the trade balance. Militarisation of space isn't going to solve any of the problems that you have with the lizard. The only implication from this test shows the incompetence of UN et all and the need to fix the UNSC. Sanctions et all highly unlikely but worldwide statements against it nominal.
From Modi's 'address to the nation' was required for telling an ASAT test. I don't think so.

agni/K launches are routine, until agni6 comes along.

According to @DRDO_India, six prototypes of the MANIK Small Turbofan Engine (STFE) developed by GTRE for powering subsonic cruise vehicles have been built. They have 95 % indigenous content. MANIK will be flight-tested soon. Here are the specs released by DRDO.

Having some margin is good for DRDO miniturbo fan engine.

Just like parents berate their kids for not being the school topper without providing the amenities!
Extreme low budget and minimal production runs.
And complain about how bad they are.

Isnt such a high thrust (450kgf) a waste for a Nirbhaya like missile? Perhaps its going to be derated for the Nirbhaya application and in that mode has similar fuel consumption as the F107 engine?
Now I know as much about turbofan engines as I do about jinnsLooking forward to some expert to give some gyan.

If these are meant for Nirbhay + heavier UAVs , then the order size will be large.
