Even I was wondering about what was so ground breaking about this system. The DRDO system was presented at the AAV 2022 seminar in January

Not the world's first 'such' system to be successfully tested by any stretch of imagination. Laser-DEWs capable of C-RAM & counter -UAV have been tested for years now. Even DRDO has successfully demonstrated a 2kw fiber laser based system.

@Indrani1_Roy @AnilBhambhani11 @realkaypius @BahadurManmohan The design of ALH was selected by a negotiating committee appointed by the Government and HAL had very little role in it. Committee selected the design proposal of MBB against that offered by the Eurocopter. This decision was due the very stringent requirements given in the ASR

More compelling is the combination of Astra Mk1/2 and the Uttam on just the Mk1A. The Mk2 is leagues ahead of this Scandinavian cr*p

ES-05 Raven gives Gripen E a significant edge over Rafale in the BVR arena - bigger antenna, more power and crucially, a repositioner. The combination of Raven and Meteor is compelling. Rafale naturally enjoys advantages in other areas.

Hahahahaha! The General-Electric/Rolls-Royce engine cancellation makes so much more sense now and why Pratt & Whitney lobbied so hard for it. Get absolutely fucked. I hope the @prattandwhitney stock absolutely tanks as a result of this.

Even after registration, all available hospitals or vaccine centres ask for a minimum age of 45. A sad joke this is.

Not all things work as advertised. But LM sure has ensured the F35 attains mythical status by their PR.

@KSingh_1469 @Indrani1_Roy @singhshwetabh71 The high altitude performance of the LCH is much better than the Mk4, which itself is amongst the best performers.

My classmates who barely scrapped through BTech are now "techies" in the silicon valley, while I'm just a "Sarkari Babu" despite getting better scores and clearing a fairly tough entrance exam.
