But yes, the super-duper "patentable procurement system" is so torturous that it not only wrote off the most practical fighter (IMO the F-18 with the same engines as the LCA is still the best choice) but now also threatens to write off the winner of the competition. Its the same farcical ...

* Rafale: To make it exportable, the French have invested too much into this plane, much more than the French as a nation would have liked to. So, any upgrades, enhancements for an Indian Rafale would cost an arm and a leg+ - the French way. This deal could easily balloon into some $50-60 billion i...

This decoy system seems to be far more effective then the single decoy shots we see during Navy day shows.

Was this ever considered for IN? Is there a similar system on IN/RN ships?

Brahmos makes an excellent Shore based defense system. It will bring the capability to effectively target Hainan and Sanya naval assets. I remember the Dhanush Jugaad. If anything similar can be done to Vietnamese Navy in a SHTF situation, there is a lot Brahmos can deliver. And given the offense fi...

What is PK-2 Mihir saab. Never heard of it before.

I guess its too big for a Decoy.
It seems to be fired from something that looks like an AK630 shaped turret. Could be a launcher arm.

This is claimed to be a pic of Vikramaditya firing something.
I am missing something. Vik was allegedly removed of all the defensive and offensive missiles and was supposed to have if any after it was delivered.
Any change of plans?

Looks like the V-22's cost 65 mil a piece. Thats a Rafale for you. But still I cant stop thinking about the suitability of this aircraft as an AEW/ASW, refueler or CBG based Marpat AC.

What is the Mass + CG on the center of the missile(pic above) mean? Center of Gravity? Why should that be painted?

^^Nope. It looks more like a Mig29 from the intake. But the nose painting looks funny.

I watched a movie called 9th company on Netflix a few days ago. Its quite better in portraying the classic Assaults.

^Range apart, same warhead capability.
What I fail to see is why stop at 400KM? I am guessing at Prahaar to be a bigger better and linearly costly to 9M55xx of Smerch, which makes sense to me. Anything more (minus Cruise) and I see advocacy of using strategic weapons at tactical level.

koti

Modifying a missile to triple its range nothing but a new missile.
I don't know of any MRLS with such a capability. And having an area saturation at 400KM is scary.

The tender requires that the gun and the missile should be able to engage aerial targets with and without the use of a fire-control radar.

I agree with Singha idea of AK-630M and Barak-1 on TATA trucks with stabilised platform integrated with Flycatcher Mk3 or Elta Radar would be a cheaper mass produce option something of desi jugad. It can be done and very much doable by BHEL , Tata or L&T Whats the point in importing an ubber ex...

shooting a $2000 dumb bomb with a $1 million missile is a game we cannot win. even akash inspite of being cheaper is too large for that role. spyder and derby or iron dome/vl mica/amraam none of them are cheap enough. trishul being passively guided with no onboard radar again would still be too cos...

^Noted John.
But the mockups of Bears with Brahmos meant there was a window for integration of AShW weapons. I wish Hypersonic Brahmos or Nirbhay in a Anti Ship role IMO should be arguable.

Is it that only Indian missiles like Nag, Akash, Trishul etc are tested and tested and tested and...... (till they fail) and other (read Russian) equipment are never tested !!!!! Me no understand ??? The tests are done by the developers sab. Russian ones are tested by the Users here. Big difference.
