Hand holding does not mean only financial support. It has to be supported by life and limbs of a few olive greens during peace time. That's the sad truth.ks_sachin wrote:Thanks you sirji.ramana wrote:It looks slightly more complicated than adding an extra charge to get additional range.
Basically, the extra charge to get additional range caused the shell to wobble at the muzzle exit.
So the design fix was an enlarged diameter of the muzzle brake to avoid the muzzle strike.
Earlier fixes were hit or miss.
Now its all good.
One thing the army has to realise is that to reach for atmanirbhar they will have to handhold. Deep experience comes from repeated failures. Unfortunately, the challenges of product design and productionisation is not something that young officers seem to be taught as they move up the ladder. This should start initially at the Academy and then be reinforced at Staff College etc Atmanirbhar and its implications on India and its geopolitical universe should be mandatory at NDC.
Again may be it is already in which case I shall withdraw by opinion.
Most of the arms are designed with extremely thin margin of safety and the development testing phase has to be dangerous by design to ensure optimal duration of design phase.
Check the number of test pilot deaths in for F22 or Grippen and they have decades of designing, manufacturing and operating cutting edge aircrafts.
