This made-in-Hyderabad UAV will irreversibly change India's defence capabilities.
It launches from a truck, reaching 700km/h (faster than the fastest Shahed drone).
It can travel 150km with a max takeoff weight of 70kg.
GPS-denied navigation with terrain-following capability.
Watched the great video on Vector Technics by @RuntimeBRT
IC Engines:
- Vector had apparently ventured into IC years ago & development has resumed now. 2 cylinder & 4 cylinder two stroke boxer engines developed (see GIF), but what's going to be produced from 2026-end is a different larger 4 cylinder two stroke boxer engine. 8 - 10 hr endurance, 500km range mentioned. Comparing their engine with competing 4 stroke engine. Used motorbike engines for a sorta reverse engineering as well(?).
BLDC motors
- Everything except magnets are India sourced. Magnets were China, now Japan - Taiwan. IDDM Nb-Fe-B magnets via ARCI soon. Many of the machines to manufacture thr motors are also in-house. So is Trustbench testbench software. A new motor has to fly for 100 hrs without a crash.
Other products:
- CFRP propellers, ESC, power distribution et al
- Tejas brake parachute actuator
- Inrunner motor for a DRDO antenna positioning system

Thoughts:
- Wonder what capacity the 4 cylinder will be. 60, 170 & 210 cc were stated in the PR.
- Their mech design team looked sufficiently large eso considering 2 shifts
- Hope Vector Technics will also look at BLDC motors for underwater applns (AUV, small torpedoes et al) as well as associated propulsion. NSTL should need all that.
AU$500 million investment from AustralianSuper.
After Indonesia another Foreign Visit where many important announcements for India.
But what Congress will show- Why PM Modi is laughing? Why PM is hugging?
Few Ideas for Congress to Cry over Australia trip
-PM ne right leg pehle rakha, left nahi.
- Handshake 12 logon se kiya, lekin 13th se nahi.
- 25,000 logon ne taali bajayi, ek aadmi ne nahi bajayi. 'Public mood badal gaya!'
- PM ne paani do baar piya, iska hidden message kya hai?
- Speech ke dauran do second ka pause liya. 'PM confused ho gaye?'
- Background mein ek aadmi phone dekh raha tha. 'Crowd uninterested!'
- PM ne smile kam ki. 'Diplomatic tension confirmed.'
- Ek foreign leader ne do second baad clap kiya. 'Cold response from allies?'
-Camera ne teen baar zoom kiya. 'PR overdrive!'

PM MODI : "Milk at home might be Australian, but the tea brewed is Indian 😂🔥
"Aree Chaiwala .. The Dal and vegetables are Australian, yet they are tempered with authentic Indian spices"
"We Indians are just like sugar dissolving in milk, making it even sweeter"
The crowd goes into a frenzy 😹🔥
Award-Jeevi has proudly announced that Australia is to supply uranium to India.
This has been made possible ONLY because of the United States-India Nuclear Cooperation Agreement that finally became law on October 8, 2008. It was Dr. Manmohan Singh’s meeting with President George Bush in July 2005 that had kickstarted the negotiations.
The BJP had all along opposed this transformative accord both in Parliament and outside.
The Congress creates turning points while the BJP specialises in U-turning points.
VIDEO | Melbourne, Australia: Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "Before I begin my speech, I request all of you to switch on your mobile phone flashlights to honour the Premier of Victoria and my friend, the Prime Minister... I had the opportunity to meet many of you in Sydney earlier. I, too, was eagerly waiting to meet the people of Melbourne. So, I thought this time I would enjoy a flat white coffee with the people of Melbourne."
