In a thread this old there are bound to be repititions so here's my attempt at an answer to this question from 6 months ago And this is exactly right

That's not a half bad guess you know.

"ye saray ham ko pagal bana rahay hain..."

IF it is not a typo (and that is a very big IF) it could mean that a preliminary design has been completed. Just like it was done for Azm some years ago and clearly nothing physical was built for Azm.

For ballistic missiles that's exactly correct. Think about it. A ballistic missile flies by getting fast as it can quickly, then coasting like a rock on a ballistic path (roughly speaking). I think it's wrong to compare a ballistic missile to a cruise missile. They are very very different. A CM...

Makes the most sense. ISPR almost always releases a video. Perhaps the launch platform is being hidden too.

Tried spotting differences between the Vanilla Babur and Babur 1B: The intake design is definitely different. The engine exhaust is also different. I can't spot anything else. Probably a lot more internal changes.

@kursed Launched from land (looks like Sonmiani) and the target is on land too. So the NOTAM is probably not useful here.

A "little bit" would serve no real purpose. You could just "overclock" your turbojet since you're about to destroy yourself anyway. Maybe cruise missiles do that already. For any decent speed increase, a subsonic design will encounter the "sound barrier". That is, it's Cd would shoot up...

Really hard to say anything really. Increased range could be due to all of the things that you mentioned and: 1. Better fuel 2. Improved aerodynamic design 3. Improved guidance and navigation - you need to accurately hit a target at max range, not just get to some point max range km away. 4...

Where is this?

As a people, our threshold for what counts as bad is pretty high. We are willing to put up with a lot of things so that we don't rock the boat. This is something I have observed relative to other peoples of the world. We like to call it perseverance. I could argue it is a form of submissiveness...

Number of people surprised by this = 0.

Please read what I wrote and don't put words in my mouth: because... I think I've been very clear in my appreciation of the LCA team. Not sure what are arguing about. If I had to put it in one sentence, it became operational too late. There is also some aspect of India having money to buy a...

Oh I agree that that isn't true. You can't take the FCS from an F16 and put it into a delta. That makes no sense. Sorry that I didn't make that clear in my post. I said you can learn many things/lessons that you can apply to the development of your own FCS for your application. This process is...

What doubt exactly?

I believe there might be some truth to the claims that is then dressed up and presented as something else. What the likely story is: People from DRDO were sent to various countries to learn the ropes. Lockheed Martin and Dassault in particular. I am fairly sure that this did indeed happen. LM...
