This MALE UAV to be powered by an Austro 180 HP engine with a 203cm prop. And a 220 HP engine with 210 cm prop. If my back of the envelop calculations are correct, hang time should be above 30 hours.

Indeed. It is not just about engines, but also radars, SAMs, SSMs, guns & other vital systems, built under licence, but claimed as “indigenous.” This self-delusion leads us to pay huge royalties to foreign Cos while creating complacency amongst politicians, scientists & public.

I have no problems with Adani assembling Hermes 900 in India. I actually welcome it*. Just stop saying it is 70% indigenous! That's a blatant lie. *Conditons apply: as long as it doesn't kill indigenous D&D. There's a very legitimate risk of a Marut redux here.

Too much outrage over Adani building the Hermes 900 in India. It’s better than buying directly from the supplier. And there are obvious benefits in terms of creating an ecosystem of skilled technicians and vendors in India.
