Btw this part was known I guess

Currently, the 280-km BrahMos is the mainstay of our non-contact missile capability. The range was restricted to 280 kms owing to MTCR restrictions. Post India joining the MTCR, our efforts should be to increase the range of the ground launched BrahMos to 800 kms and the sea and air launched BrahMos to 1500 kms. It is learnt that an inter-government agreement with Russia has been signed to support enhancement of BrahMos ranges over the next two to five years.

Possible land attack version of SLCM, LACM warhead is tendered. Kinda odd, SLCM was 505 mm dia and this warhead is the same dia. Nirbhay is 520mm dia, so maybe its that derivative? Anyway, how big and heavy it could be for a ~ 500mm dia 1.6 meter size warhead? nearly 300kg class or less? SLCM weighed about a ton.

Turkish recently tested Atmaca anti-ship missile with their own KTJ-3200 engine giving 3.2 kn thrust. Missile diameter is 350mm and engine 300mm. We will need this class of engine very soon. Our STFE is similar but weights 100kg+.

They initially went for the lower end of cruise missiles, but we began with long-range Tomahawk-like systems. It would be interesting to see the evolution of NASM-MR; I hope it has a turbofan.
