It is because of reports like these that I took to writing. I am sorry to say this is nonsense.

1. There are a few inaccuracies in this explanation. 2. What has been explained here is how most missiles work. It does not explain why Brahmos is a game changer. Here's a little explainer thread. I will keep it super simple

Every year, I ask the same question. Why no snow shoes? It's cheap and very effective!

India is almost self-sufficient in missile technology. Sophisticated state-of-the-art missiles are going from design-board to first-launch in less than 3 years, getting tested dozens of times in the next 3 & getting inducted. This success story must be studied and internalized.

India has probably the most byzantine funding+development+procurement. The rounds of testing that Indian systems undergo before induction is frustrating, bordering on cruel. But the flip side is this. Every Indian system fielded in war has excelled beyond imagination.

India did not enter the "hypersonic missile" group with this missile. And that thing on the nose is an anomaly, not a feature. Here's a quick and dirty thread on where this missile lies on the technology spectrum and what it means to India's security.

L&T deserves way more orders that it currently has. Some of the best R&D, manufacturing units and management in India. I am thoroughly impressed. Is there a project where they have not been able to produce on time.

HAL is making up for some lost time. Recently SP34/LA2030 took to the air. SP27 took to the air in mid-Nov. That's 8 aircrafts in 4 months. Pic credits: Incredible Deb Rana.

The correct headline: "India subsidizes French next generation engine development by 61000 crores". In comparison, India has spent 2500 crores on its own engine development effort over 4 decades. Nothing new though. We are creatures of habit.

I don't always tailgate,but when I do it's behind technological marvels. I marvel not only at this huge aircraft engine but also the IC engine of this truck. Just cruising at 70 MPH for 100s of miles at a stretch, and making no big deal of it at all.

This is done by somebody who is good at PS, but knows nothing about aircrafts. The fin of an aircraft is not a plate, but an aerfoil. So the cross section is going to look like a wing. The fin of Rafale is few inches thick.
