They have procured both. Spike was originally cancelled but after swift retort and its preceding and succeeding skirmishes IA decided to procure it. 250+ launchers have been procured.The Indian combo of Hellfire R & L can decapitate armored columns given the airspace is generally sanitized for them. If they purchase the spike nlos for their AH-64 then it will be misery for any targeted PA division.
However I suppose the biggest threat comes from the Nag/Helina missile since it is indigenous. It would prove lethal if India equips its BMP2s, which india has plenty of, with them. Also if India is able to mass produce LCH equipped with them,we will be facing serious difficulties.
Btw I feel we are lagging behind in terms of atgms. I'd suggest procuring aft-10
wtih HJ-10 from China or equipping them on our M113s, if not any indigenous NLOS.
I think that the best option for us is to procure the AFT-10 anti tank systems which fires hj10. It can completely decimate tank concentrations ( it has 8 ready to fire missiles and takes only eights minutes to reload). What's more it also has a surface to air version called AKD-10.
The missile has an optical/imaging guidance system. It is a non-line of sight missile. It can lock on the target within the line of sight. Alternatively the operator locks on the target after the launch, using a real time image from the missile. Coupled with UAVs it can be very potent .
