I don't expect STAR to be that big of a missile. It should be around the BrahMos system with 3 canister launchers. The Chinese YJ12 system seems to be without a fire control system.
Shaurya has close to 2k km range with a lighter payload. STAR is our desi/cheaper BrahMos equivalent. So 300-500kms range is to be expected, IMO.
Can not tell, but dimension wise the canister is similar to shaurya , so it is better to use the common launcher. This has been done before too else drdo would need to maintain another at extra cost & manpower.
Is it just me or does YJ12 look similar to STAR.
Isn't STAR just meant to be target practice for our AD?
Yes.
That's the initial plan. But having our own 100% BrahMos substitute ain't no bad, is it? Just like we're developing a similar-ranged/specced Akash-NG even though we also have Indo-Israeli MRSAM.
So it's simply my guesstimate that we'll eventually weaponize STAR from just being a target-practice.

The weight of the missile is around 600 kg. I suppose this design won't have any warhead.
Nagpur, Maharashtra | DRDO Chairman Dr Samir V Kamat says, "... If the country has to become 'Aatmanirbhar' and have the ability to sustain long wars, we have to encourage the defence sector to get involved in defence production and defence R&D... I am very satisfied to hear about the reports that DRDO systems have performed well in the recent conflict. We also have to learn from this conflict to see how we can improve the systems further and induct newer systems to meet the emerging challenges of modern warfare... We are working on several new systems. These include missiles, air-based weapons, naval weapons, and various sensors like those that can detect and neutralise drones. I am sure these systems will be inducted into service within the next six months to one year. They will provide our services with the necessary capabilities to fight the next war."

fair few TARA tenders came out yesterday for the airframe parts. T-250 and T-450 mostly, plus T5 and T2 wing assy.

Looking at progress , you can see why group B weapon integration work was of 5 types.
K5 also got a paint booth so we can guess a mystic firing will take place behind the scenes much like the previous firing.
cheap kalibr also progressing

K5 can fit in our Arighat and S4 right? And S4 can still carry 8 K5? Or less because K5 is bigger?
