The Agni-V Mk2 (Divyastra) is an advanced, MIRV capable iteration of the Agni-V. Major improvements include replacement of maraging steel first stage casing with one manufactured using carbon composite filament winding, it is India's largest composite casing for now.

The new tile architecture has been introduced by an AMPL official in this video by @Defencematrix1. youtu.be/ofKFSKNW1pY?t=212

DRDO-LRDE's airborne radars can be categorized based on the architectures being used. The plank architecture (Uttam) supports dipole antennas. The newer, more compact tile architecture (Virupaksha) can house high bandwidth Vivaldi antennas. New details are discussed as follows:🧵

HAL will be procuring 140 antenna units of the Tejas Mk1a's Uttam AESA radar from Astra Microwave Pvt Lmt (AMPL) in two batches of 33 and 107 units. The combined cost of AMPL's quotations for both batch orders is Rs. 2,760 cr ($320 million at present exchange rate).

This is misinformation. Users should note that Chinese firm MizarVision, which released post strike imagery of PAF's Pasrur and Chunian radar facilities used by the OP, assessed that the facilities were indeed damaged.

A look at the technical specification of the AESA-AAAU for LCA AF Mk2: It features 912 TRM with 896 active elements, and 16 receive only elements. 10W GaAs TRMs, similar to the Uttam for Tejas Mk1A. The new antenna is shorter in height but wider, to fit in the smaller nose frame.

Surveillance radar should be made available by March 2027 for fitment on the DBMRH prototype. The RFI is open for both Indian and foreign vendors under Make in India. Single fixed AESA antenna (600×250mm). The desired specifications for the surveillance radar are mentioned below:

AEW system should be made available by June 2027 for fitment on the DBMRH prototype. The RFI is open for both Indian and foreign vendors under Make in India. The desired specifications for the AEW system are mentioned below:

HAL has issued two RFI for the design development and supply of two radar systems for DBMRH variants: AEW radar for the DBMRH-AEW variant and Surveillance radar for the DBMRH-S (Special Ops variant). D&D activities and production facility should be established within T0+60 months
