Third generation Nag test-firing in Pokhran soon - The Times of India

Sorry, I got confused with versions, thanks for the correction. But this is also in plan for Helina, to have 20km range: India Plans To Extend The Range Of Anti-Tank HELINA Missile ~ ASIAN DEFENCE NEWS

Saar, please, the typical engagement ranges is 4km for ground forces, Helina is 8km which is equivalent to what is there in market

Hang on BMP 2 is still used in IA, and it is going to be used for quite some time now, I don't see any logic behind this, also I think you are exaggerating the ranges to laughable levels Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.

That was the purpose of development, a missile which can be fired from a dedicated carrier This is interesting, can you put more light on bold portion

pankaj, this is interesting logic, first you keep testing a product for years, and when it passes the trials, you point out issue in the carrier, some thing like "if you are not able to kill the rider kill the horse". Also, the LCH itself is getting tested as of now.

So can we safely say, that Helina is not going to be inducted Indian Army shortlists MBDA’s PARS 3 LR - Frontier India - News, Analysis, Opinion

^^ How do you arrive to a conclusion, that it uses Israeli seeker?

^^ No, it is not using that seeker

What is the basis of the claim "rust bucket"? What exactly is the logic to hold back the induction because some other variant is getting developed?

Why all this noise after getting "final validation trials" Another statement in the air, If it so ridiculous product then every one was sleeping on it till all trials were done? Was they were sleeping till now over it? And suddenly wake up that they need it. It is a deliberate ploy to delay...

This is speculation at best. No substance If it is supposed to be fired from BMP II then why Namica was designed? And HELINA is different version, no relation with Nag which is fired from namica. From the article: Don't do selective posting to twist: the complete line, which is for HELINA
