Truce is a temporary peace till both sides regroup for final fight in next 10 years. India closes its border with Islamic Republic of Taliban. Shoot at site orders are issues, no enquiry, no jurisprudence on what happens in NW Border area.
War ends on Jan 15th, 2016. There is a tacit understanding between Hindu India, ME Crescent; Your fight is in other direction not towards east.
Actually it is very nice...I hope it comes true.Avid wrote:Had a nice something to smoke did you?Baljeet wrote:while we are at this subject, I want to make a prediction....

The 500 second flight time is in agreement with 700km trajectory matching ROCKSIM results.
What no one has pointed out yet is the shape and size of the "Tilak" atop the second stage. That will be the first pic of new RV for Indian BM family. I do hope it shows an object 1.5m long and 42 cm diameter at base.

Et tu Janes?
Sagarika test firing heralds India's SLBM capability

When even specialist military publications write about turbojet ballistic missiles, what hope for the mainstream press?The turbojet-powered 8.5 m-long missile was initiated by the Aeronautical Development Establishment in the early 1990s
Arunji,
Made a rough analysis of the dimensions of the launcher from the Sagarika pic... is it approximately accurate?? Coz I made only a very rough estimation.
Is it possible that this tube is only used for launching the missile without the underwater booster, which would allow for the length to go upto the requisite 11 m?

I can summarize it for you. The missile is a dud, it has only 435 mile range. It can hit only half of pakistan if launched from paki coast. (insert nice picture here). It cant even threaten china. India doesnt know how to make missiles, so unlikely it can ever make one to hit china. India did it simply because of pride.SaiK wrote:possible to post complete article here? or is it copy righted?
Yawn. I think it will be a beautiful sight to see the article go up in the exhaust smoke of the next A-III test. Somebody wake me up then and send me the stratfor article about how A-III cannot hit american satellites circling the moon.
Prasadji: I dont know the answer unless I do a regiorus vetting of your assumption. I am not sure if you have provided your assumptions in that dimensioned image. Why dont you put down your assumption on how did you arrive at the scaling factor. That will making it easier for lay reader too. Besides I nowdays I hop across threads in a drive by shooting mode, due to paucity of time for serious contribution.k prasad wrote:Arunji,

Any idea about how much time a Nuclear Sub takes to go out to sea after the reactor has been fuelled?
I believe all things equal its same for sub and CVN at around 2 hrs. in a crisis deployment both are supposed to clear harbour and hit full speed for a sustained phase to leave behind enemy submarines lurking near the coast.
so they need those steam plants at full capacity before hitting the start button.

Israeli Dolphin sub.
http://www.fas.org/news/israel/e20000619israelmakes.htmAccording to Israeli sources, the three Dolphin-class submarines will give Israel a crucial third pillar of nuclear defence to complement the country's already much-vaunted land and air ramparts. While the Israelis' intention of using the German submarines as roving nuclear launch platforms had long been suspected, few experts had expected them to develop the capability to fire submarine-based cruise missiles so soon.
so technically we can fit the K15 in existing subs itself till such time ATV arrives.

I couldnt find the height figures for the Tata 8x8, but used the dimensions for the closest relative I could, the Tatra T815 8x8, which is 3240 mm tall (See). Assuming it be be 3 m, you can see the perspective line drawn to the rear of the vehicle. sing the pixel dimensions at the rear, I calculated the length and diameter of the tube. However, I do think that it will be slightly longer than I calculated, at around 9.5-9.7 m, since I havent considered perspective in 3 Dimensions. Plus, I would have to make extra corrections in case the height has been underestimated by a foot, since in that case, the absolute error in the tube length will be higher, probably around 20-40 cm.Arun_S wrote:Prasadji: I dont know the answer unless I do a regiorus vetting of your assumption.

Very old article

Mr Fernandes said that India is also developing a cruise missile system called 'Sagarika'.
Knowing the dimension of what K-15 is ( 11 x 0.7 m ) , it will not be possible to do that , mainly because none of the subs are of modular type , hence you cant cut a kilo add a K-15 module and things start rolling , unless you redesign the Kilos for it from scratch , not worth IMHOJohn Snow wrote: so technically we can fit the K15 in existing subs itself till such time ATV arrives.
The only option is the new class of conventional sub we are planning to buy , these can be designed built to accommodate K-15 plus Brahmos ( we might need a hump for the new design since K-15 length is 11m compared to brahmos 8.5 m) not a wise thing to do for a conventional sub , drag and power requirement consideration
hence I feel the K-15 SLBM will be limited to ATV.
Since the existene of K-15 and the underwater "pontoon"has now been revealed,we can now discuss an idea which I supressed for a long time for obvious reasons.As an interin measure until the ATV arrives,we could use underwater barges/pontoons,equipped with several missiles in their silos and tow them to secret bastions close to our naval bases.It would be easy to hide such installations.However,sicne the ATV is arriving sooner rather than later along with the Akulas,the need for such 'nuclear barges",a naval version of land based mobile launchers,might not be needed.Still,the idea of mine could be examined as it could complement our SSBMs,being considerably cheaper to build and operate.

Is it financially viable to invest in that kind of infrastructure given that the official range of K-15 is only 700 kms. Also, such "static" infrastructure can be detected by enemy quite easily.

The article in Stratfor is written by likes of Ravi. Somehow the author thinks that India is building SLBM for Porkistan. India's primary enemy - China.p_saggu wrote:You genius you.Gerard wrote:Put the title into google and do a search. Then click on the cached version.

Folks dont you think such stationary launching pilons or silos be detected by satellites? IR detectors the difference between waters around and the silo. What about corrosion etc?Sanku wrote:Not to mention the protection provided by the sea itself to the depth of 50 MGerard wrote: Interesting... both mobile and easily hidden... silos without the disadvantages.
Sink several dummy pontoons all over the place. Some of them can have real fat ladies which sing once in a while. Lizard has now several targets to take out to ensure a 100% kill - which they will never be able to achieve.

Regarding corrosion, make the pontoons out of fibreglass painted duly in red colour - we can take the leaf out of this from our neighbour. Fibreglass will not corrode and will also provide an environment for fisheries. 100% SDRE soln.
The ATV comes online in a couple of years and this would be redundant.
Philip the reason why they dont have surfaced ship based assets is they are destabilizing for they invite a first strike. The Italians were to have a ship based SLBM in the mid sixties and the idea got dropped.
To me the future sub-based vehicle will be some thing that will put a skip glider type payload to give it stand off range. Something thats near Dolphins nose area and can send it anywhere.

AOA!
So the idea is to drop real K-15 pantoons sprinkled within the dummy pantoon distribution?
1). They will be detected by satellite.
2). MPA's will decipher real ones from dummies.
3). Uncle's rig will come and steal (tow) away a couple of pantoons from 'international waters' for analysis.
Yindoos will be left crying chor, chor. However, uncle will say he didn't steal any K-15+Nuke+Pantoon but simply "borrowed without permission", with intention to give back sometime during the next 5 decades.

Like they borrowed the grenade or explosive whatever that was mumbai blast evidence and 'misplaced' it. Once an Unkil always an Unkil.Rahul Shukla wrote:AOA!
