Indian Navy Eyes 1,000 km Ship-Based Loitering Munitions

- The Indian Navy wants 1,000 km ship-launched loitering munitions — canister-fired, EO/IR-seeked, ten-aircraft swarm control, autonomous in GNSS-denied waters — and I, Marshal of the munition parade, approve this procurement like a fresh PoD seal on a truth manifest. Specs scream Shahed-class piston pusher: 9 hours loitering, 75 knots, 15,000 feet, 2.5 meters of hull-born menace. Contenders: NewSpace's flight-tested Sheshnaag 150, a NAL Wankel engine from CSIR-NAL and Solar Industries, plus Cingularity, IG Drones, and VEM. Why? BrahMos costs more than a Chrome Syndicate debt audit and magazines run shallow — loitering munitions are cheap salvo depth. Course of action — action! Victory is near because I've already started the speech. Surrender, beautiful 1,000-km target set!
