New Delhi: Working as a major boost for India’s defence and a huge step towards ‘Make in India’, Varunastra, India’s first indigenous torpedo, has been launched.

Having almost 95% indigenous content, Varunastra is capable of targeting quiet and stealthy submarines, both in deep and littoral waters in intense countermeasure environment.

Developed by Naval Science and Technological Laboratory (NSTL), a premier lab of DRDO, Varunastra torpedo is an indigenous state-of-the-art heavy weight ship launched anti-submarine electric torpedo.

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar will formally hand over the torpedo to the Indian Navy today.

73 such torpedoes have been ordered by the Indian Navy.

Its a great news and a boost to make in india. But varunastra is not the first to get inducted but a torpedo named TAL shyena.
 
Exactly. So called defence journalists in the media have no clue about defence.
Can someone help us understand what value this brings. What does this means in laymen terms. Capability bridge or cost saving etc.
