DRDO's DRDL has invited pvt sect for the development of towpreg technology for T700 & T800 class of carbon fibre, used in high-end aerospace applications. So far these had been imported from countries like Japan. Potential vendors: Novus Composites Teaming Composites Arka Defense

Production HTT-40 indeed looks much more refined. Cc-@FighterPiloting

According to the MoD annual report, a flight trial of DRDO’s Supersonic Target (STAR) missile was “successfully carried out” in November 2025. I suppose that, just like the SFDR tests, the initial flight trials might not have included actual ramjet ignition, just solid booster.

Model and specs of DRDO-ADE's turboprop powered HALE RPA design.

DRDO has initiated a programme called QRSAM-ER. ER probably stands for Extended Range. The current missile has a max range of 30km at a max altitude of 6km.

There is some confusion regarding yesterday’s test of LRSAM Kusha. What I want to say: This is (almost) certainly the M1 variant, not M2. And yes, even M1 is supposed to have a booster, for sure,

The casing are built by them. The propellant is cast by a different private company (solar industries) which also casts propellants for missiles. youtu.be/cnTfrZsXi1I

What the Dpropulse board is turning out to be:

It has a VL version as well

The thumbnail, are those AD2 and/or AD1? The third one is NASM-MR for sure. @Indrani1_Roy
