What are some weapons that only India has? It can be for air force, navy or land army.

There are many weapons that India has produced and are considered best in their category.India is blamed that it can’t make world class weapons .We import nearly 70% of our defence equipments . But now we are making efforts to improve our image .
The list is very long I will try to touch every field .
BrahMos
BrahMos is a supersonic cruise missile jointly developed by India and Russia.The name BrahMos is derived from the two rivers namely the Brahmaputra of India and the Moskva of Russia. This supersonic missile can travel at a speed of 2.8 to 3 Mach .
BrahMos can be fired either from sea,land,or air. This is considered as the most advanced missile in it’s category.Now India and Russia are going to develop a hyper sonic missile which can travel at a speed of Mach 7 to mach 8.
India is now going to sell these missiles to Vietnam and other countries which prove it’s capabilities.
Tejas
Tejas is a single seat ,multi role combat aircraft manufactured by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited(HAL). Tejas is the lightest aircraft in it’s category and it uses some of the most advanced technologies. India is developing this as a replacement of it’s ageing aircraft fleet. Tejas Mk1 is already in service .HAL is now planning to upgrade this to Mk1A standards .This aircrafts can carry multiple weapons of various kinds. HAL is also developing a naval version of Tejas so that it can also operate on aircrafts carriers which shows that this aircraft is ‘Excellent’. India will be installing indigenous Kaveri engine which is in progress.
Arjun
Arjun is the main battle tank developed by DRDO. This tank comes under third generation category. There are very few countries that have their own main battle tank and India is one of them. DRDO has also developed an advanced version of this tank and upgraded it to Mk 2 standards.There are 124 Arjun Mk 1 tanks and now we are going to purchase 118 Arjun Mk 2 tanks.
Dhanush Howitzer
Dhanush howitzer is popularly known as ‘Desi Bofors’ .This gun is designed by Ordnance Factory Board Kolkata. Dhanush is 155 mm towed howitzer and is better then Bofors. Indian Army has placed an order of around 414 units.
Missiles
India is considered as one of the best in missiles development programs. There are many missiles which we have developed in such a shorter period of time. We can take the example of Agni v ,Prithivi ,Akash Air Defense system(Surface To Air ) and many more .India is now developing ‘Surya’ Missile system which will have a range of more than 10,1000 kilometers.
INS Arihant
INS Arihant is a nuclear powered ballistic missile submarine. This is the first nuclear powered submarine that India has made.India uses INS chakra which is on lease from Russia for a period of ten years .INS chakra comes under Akula class submarines. INS Arihant will be followed by INS Aridhaman which will be more powerful than the previous version.Indian Navy will make five submarines of this type.
INS Vikrant
INS Vikrant is the first aircraft carrier that India is building. There are few countries in the world which can build aircraft carriers. INS Vikrant will have the capacity to accommodate at least 30 aircrafts. India is using INS Vikramaditya and INS Viraat .INS Viraat is going to retire in 2017 so,India is developing INS Vikrant .India is going to make another carrier named INS Vishal which will have the capacity of around 50 aircrafts and will be nuclear powered.
HELICOPTERS
LIGHT COMBAT HELICOPTER
Light combat helicopter is being developed by HAL. Currently four prototypes are being tested in extreme conditions.This helicopter holds the record by landing on the forward posts of Siachen Glacier (world’s highest battlefield).This helicopter will be armed with rockets and tank missiles.
DHRUV
Dhruv is a utility helicopter developed and manufactured by (HAL). This helicopter is also used in special operations. Now, a weaponized version is also being developed known as Rudra . It is also used for air shows performed by Indian Air force (Sarang).
The list is so long . Now, I will name the major weapons being used but not included in the list : INSAS rifle,Kalveri submarine,Rustom (UAV) ,Pinaka (Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher ) and many more..
There are many ongoing projects which will prove Indian capability
DRDO AURA (stealth unmanned aerial vehicle)
AMCA(Advanced multi role combat aircraft)
KALAM SERIES MISSILES (submarine based ;longer ranges)
KALI (Kilo Ampere Linear Injector) electron beam weapon being tested
AESA Radar (Uttam)
