In our armament trials we place overmuch stress on issues that are of marginal imp. For MBT ARJUN ATGM firing through gun has become a make or break issue. Whereas in A-tk engagements gun tube ATGM engagements by tanks will be rare. The KE fired by the gun will be primary mode
So we’ve allowed the marginal player to affect project viability. Similarly for NAG we insist on certain parameters that are rarely required. Lack of that and we reject the system. This all or nothing approach has to change. Few ATGMs with seekers will lock on at extreme ranges
In peak summer temp. Instead of only seeker based ATGMs we should field a mix of guided and Seeker based systems. Both compliment each other.
We should be circumspect about what the TV (ATGM) salesman says. Gotta use our own brains too, else then capability gap with PLA will

Opening up. It is sad to see we are importing even basic ammunition and various wpn sys once the PLA came knocking. Our military industrial complex and the mindset of decision makers needs a reset or reboot. It’s a major security Achilles heel. Decision makers are answerable...!!
