Strongly titled, worded & very concerning article this from @BharatShaktiBSI on Suryastra, excerpts: - "..the entire process was completed in less than six months. The contract was apparently signed in January 2026. The flight test ... was conducted ... on 18-19 May ... first lot of the rocket launchers was flagged off on 23 May, perhaps an Indian record for procurement!" - "Now, less than a month later, sources say, in one of the four test flights carried out on 18-19 May, the missile (called Predator Hawk in Israel) broke into pieces in less than 15 km at a height of 7 km minutes after the launch, when its claimed range is in the vicinity of 300 km. Moreover, DRDO officials say they are not privy to the telemetry data from these tests, as they did not carry out the process." bharatshakti.in/time-to-stop…

Zen Technologies's @ashokatluri reiterates these points in almost every concall. While I'm not sure to what extent some of their latest products like guns are IDDM, imo Zen is one of the few firms which tries to have as much IP as possible through R&D / acquisition. @vectortechnics is probably the best example. x.com/dotcom_1106/status/206…
