"""Missile scientists will also start working on the third generation, `Man Portable' Nag very soon. It would weigh less than 14 kg."""

It will take 5-7yr more Javelin is gap filler. because currently we using 2nd generation Milan & AT-5. army also have old stock of Milan & AT-4 which is near to end of their life they need urgent replacement army has around 800-1000 AT-4 stock which retire any time that is why they need new ATGM.
