DRDO shows glimpses of IUSAV Combat Drone again

[45'22']

The UCAV will be bigger than we though it will be around 15 ton. Much larger than Neuron or Taranis.

I have read that article which said 15 ton Kaveri's dry weight itself is around 1.1 tons
Add 1 or half a ton for the armaments or the pods.....that leaves us with only 10-12 tons for the entire drone barring the power plant and weapons ....
it will increase the cost as well (more than 7-8 million USD per drone probably)

I doubt 15 ton will suffice.....
I have read that article which said 15 ton but Kaveri's dry weight itself is around 11 tons
Add 1 or half a ton for the armaments or the pods.....that leaves us with only 3-4 tons for the entire drone barring the power plant and weapons .....
if they pull this off then it will be really commendable....
it will increase the cost as well (more than 7-8 million USD per drone probably)

I think you got something wrong here bro. Kaveri dry weight is 1.2 ton. LCA empty weight is 6.5 tons. So at 15 tons this UCAV will be a large one. I think it will be much smaller than 15 ton.

Sorry,My bad
the engine is 1.1 ton not 11 ton

What the heck are they planning with this bigger drone

I think it will be of same size like Boeing Phantom Ray and like F404, our Aura will be powered by Kaveri.
