1. This weapon system ... the existence of was not known to many of us who track indigenous defence tech developments closely ... is a potential game-changer. A few observations and questions on this thread ...

2. The missile-torpedo combo is a fairly large weapon system and the launch cannister appears very long. If this launches in VLS mode only, I wonder if it could be considered for deployment on our ballistic missile submarine though that would be the `loss' of one precious silo.
3. The launch-tube appears too big to comfortably fit inside a warship - though a warship DOES appear to be the best choice of platform to launch this weapon from.
4. If this is deployed along the coast, the weapon will need constantly updated targeting solutions from a sensor, likely a submarine or warship, which is tracking an enemy submarine at ranges beyond that of its own torpedoes.
5. This would need an extremely sophisticated data-link to be built into the system. On the other hand, would this weapon get a targeting solution from an indigenous sonar array deployed on the sea bed in areas which interest us ? Thoughts anybody?
