Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion - June'14

btw, that is a pretty puny fireball for 3 mil a pop. from the video posted above , why would they have a separate section specifically for "Combat Firing" (at 2:48), if all of the preceding tests were with live warheads? in fact here is a test where the missile exited without detonating in...

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion - June'14

the fireball will depend on the residual fuel at the time of impact. the second test could have much more fuel left than the first one. the real question is whether live ordnance can be fired into that range. from one of the articles i have posted above: However, a project that entails setting up te...

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion - June'14

missiles tests are predominantly conducted with inert warheads, unless it is to test a warhead.

in which case the test will happen 2,000 miles to the north-west.

seems like a maneuver test extending about 260kms (with 2 equidistant arms at 120deg, appx), unlike the first one that seemed more like a straight shot test extending about 1,000kms.

Output power is transmitted to a front-mounted reduction gearbox by a shaft concentrically mounted within the gas generator rotor assembly.
