Regarding warning 1, there was news last December that we will be soon testing Air launched lightweight cruise missile and also DRDO Anti-Radiation Missile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It may be these two also.

i had assumed ARM first but ARM reach wont be this long..At best ARM would be apprx 120 odd kms and here the shortest distance is around 180km.. But still i say a possibility..

The same with Air launched light weight cruise missile .. I think either its Brahmos ALCM or Astra 2 LR BVR.. Since Astra MK2 is some time away, i have a sneaky suspicion that its the first test of Brahmos ALCM ..

But then again anything is possible..

Yes can be anything. The reason I think it won't be ALCM BrahMos is the range. As it is Air launched it will surely have a range of more than 300km , even if it is tested with MTCR in mind, it should be 290Km, but the area has maximum diagonal of ~230 km.

Will have to wait.

Any news about Agni 5?

Does India have >1500 km range cruise missiles if not are there any in testing

As of now no Navarea warning seen for Agni 5.. Possibly will keep an eye out for a new Navarea...

BTW any idea about coastal batteries.. I thought beyond guns also they should have some Some very small range Missiles and AA batteries.. Warning 2..

Nirbhay is there but i doubt they would test full range.. Other than that i have to check for others,,,

This is a major gap. We need couple of systems in 1.5k to 3K range for self evident reasons. Ballistic missiles will send the wrong signal.

I feel looking at many dates that it may be a regular anti aircraft gun training session.May be training the new joins on how to use the anti aircraft guns and shoot down PTAs, or even training them to use RBU series for shore bombardment ...... in reality I don't have much idea. Also that its on the west coast is surprising.

If you allow me to speculate a bit then.... we may have one.
The Klub3M-14, some say Russians helped us in Nirbhay by supplying this.
And the new version of this missile has a range of 2,500 km.

Well, if you look at the air inlet design, you'll see a distinct similarity between Klub and Nirbhay.

...and these are only external similarities. But however, a similar design may just be a way of developing on proven concepts, so exactly what level of Nirbhay's tech is sourced from abroad is unknown, and we may never know for sure.

All we know is that we can use it without any restrictions.

And the new version of this missile has a range of 2,500 km.

Details...?
 
@ni8mare @Abingdonboy @MilSpec
Can you guys check on page 143 and help understanding the Navarea..

What exactly comes in coastal batteries..

Also what test an aircraft of ICG can do? A Do228 platform testing AShM or Torpedo?
Do228 will most likely won't test ashm, could be tracking test, it wont be a Brahmos ALCM imo. System will be a mystery. lets keep it that way till there is disclosure from MoD

Can't tell any thing numbers are quite uncanny......we can only speculate ......let's wait for the tests
