Do Indian Harpoons have the target recognition and re-attack capabilities of the Block 1G?
not sure djcross..the version that was to be purchased for the P-8I was the AGM-84L Block II Harpoon..they'd previously ordered the AGM-84L for the IAF's Jaguar IM maritime strike fighters..not sure if this variant has target recognition and re-attack capabilities
It's not ordered yet but the Navy obviously want it.
I'll believe it when USN starts insensitive munitions and HERO testing of Brimstone. Without those, munitions are not allowed aboard the aircraft carrier.

Yes but if it did go off randomly it would be a very precise explosion :)
This has been in the pipeline since Libya, so the news report represents some progress from a position of "It looks good and we are thinking about whether it could work for us."

If they have the money they'll be getting it. I don't think there is much resistance to not acquiring it, its a matter of funding it and when ;)
