Extremely shocked! Tejas still uses Doppler radar (agricultural country specific radar).

At this point they should start with a new program from scratch. This piece of garbage has cost them so much in money and embarrassment over the last thirty years and they are still throwing away good money after bad. Pathetic.

The proposal is at an advanced stage and is likely to be approved soon by the Defence Acquisition Council, which is expected to meet later this month, reported The Economic Times.
The drones will be acquired under fast-track procedures and sourced from indigenous manufacturers.
Also known as loitering munitions, the drones will come with launchers and are intended to strengthen the capabilities of all three defence services, including special forces. The Army already operates loitering munitions from multiple sources and plans to induct around 30,000 such systems in the near future.
Under the plan, each infantry battalion will have a dedicated Ashni platoon responsible for operating drones for strikes on enemy positions as well as for counterinsurgency operations.
According to defence officials, drones were extensively used by the Indian Army during a recent operation targeting terror infrastructure across the border. Several targets were hit on the first day of the operation, launched in response to the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people.
The drones were later deployed against opposing military positions along the border, causing heavy damage to infrastructure and resulting in significant casualties.
