DRDO Uttam AESA Fire Control Radar installed for testing on a Hawker 800 commercial aircraft converted into a flying testbed with a modified nose.

Half of recently ordered LCA MK1A will be fitted with Uttam AESA radar.

Additionally 2 LCA aircrafts are already flying with the Uttam radar for tests.

Genser Aerospace Pvt Ltd sign MoU with HAL / Naini to cooperate in Design/Development of their RAJAS platform.

A home grown biz jet? The growing number of HNWIs worldwide,but especially Indians makes this a worthwhile project. Be careful though! The Anglos won't sit on their hands seeing you steal their market share!

Orders for 118 Arjun MK1A placed finally

The army literally sabotaged, delayed this program as much as they could. Some of the generals in the armour core used to be the most inapt and crooked ones in the whole army.

I can only hope it has changed .

IIRC,its armour was tested in Israel in the early 90s! By now there should be an Arjun 3 with a 140 or 150 mm gun and UGV version for combat.

Nemesis2you:
The Iranian IRGC Navy received more than 340 boats of various classes.

Note the pics carefully , these fellows r crazy.

I am sure they will even try to attack a carrier with these

A swarm attack! Fyi,the USN war gamed just such an attack in the Gulf a decade ago and cautioned against any invasion plans.

Lockheed Homing Overlay Experiment (HOE) interceptor missile

WTF does it do?

SMPP applique armour for helmet, defeats 7.62 x 39mm, 5.56 x 45mm, weighs 1.25 kg, also offers armored face protection.

But the bullet energy will still shatter vertebrae.

Vertebrae ?

That is add on armour for combat helmet .

They provide additional protection in addition to the protection provided by the helmet.

All standalone combat helmets have padding etc inside to reduce blunt force trauma incase the helmet gets hit.

Though it is best not to get hit at all , probability of blunt force trauma is considerable.

I think intercept ICBMs from space

A swarm attack by drones can also possibly take out a possible swarm attack by boats.

Entire tank was tested AFAIK

Rest I don't know, I heard they are working on FMBT but problem is few of the generals in the armoured core of IA. They are let's say trying to play spoilsport for whatever reasons best known to them.

Last 70 years has anyone done otherwise.

Almost all foreign countries who had a stake including friendly countries did damage.

Some harmed more some less.

The responsibility of safeguarding the interests lies with the government agencies . In the past they failed more often , let's see what the future holds.
