I have only seen agni on open flat beds like in this video. Do you have any pics which shows an operational agni-2 which is not open and exposed to naked eye?

ranganathan

The video showed an open carriage. Has anyone seen videos of agni-2 being fired from a closed carriage? Like these

At 1 bil for 80 aircrafts it works out to 12.5 mil per chopper. Isnt that cheap for a 10 tonne chopper? Heck the ALH costs 7-7.5 mil per pop IIRC. The euro or american birds cost more. Sikorsky S-92 is 15.5 mil per pop same as puma not super puma or EC-725. The HAL 10 tonne heli won't be ready for t...

The only problem is like they killed HJT-39 they can always say they don't need the LCH since they have something in the inventory. Ofcourse if the govt restricts the buy to 600 mil or less then Mi-28N is the only option. Though I think they should get the Ka-52. It can serve as the command ship lea...

One thing is sure that A2AT will be much cheaper compared to its fat cousins, and lighter weight is a definite asset. Mass production will make it a very versatile weapon. The weight is alright but isn't the length a matter of concern? At nearly 21m it cannot be carried on road like A-3 or Topol-M....

WSI ALH is just the transport version of ALH with ability to carry rockets and ATGM. It will be used to carry troops for insertion while aving capability to attack ground troops and armour. The LCh is a different beast. It is a dedicated attack chopper. No troop carrying capability but very maneuver...

If its a gap filler then buying 30 more secondhand Mi-35 makes more sense that going for a costly and totally new chopper like apache or tiger.

ranganathan

The article is rubbish. Just ignore it. Poor NASA is not even mentioned in it. Nigeria in space? Right!!

ranganathan

The HAL LCH is purpose built for high altitude operations. There is simply no need to go in for Ah-64D or Mi-28N. The Mi-35s were only upgraded a couple of years back. I am sure they can last till 2010, by which time LCH will inducted in squadron service. For once I hope the Babus scuttle this attem...

ranganathan

Why is this required when LCH is about to make first flight??

NAL, the designers of Saras, said for the first time in February that the 14-seat multi-role plane would cost Rs39.4 crore apiece , making it among the most costly plane in its class. is that correct ?? How does it compare with other such a/c prices ?? The Price seems comparable to Do-228. IN acqui...

Is this Missile Launch detection system same as RWR? I thought India had indigenous RWR's.

ranganathan

What influence did we buy? KArgil happened after that.

Good riddance to pakis and Beedees.

Just small nitpick. Israel got nukes from france not US.

ranganathan

I thought brunei was an islamic country? Why are we showing them israeli goods?

ranganathan

Pointless going in for Mig29's, F-15's will make short work of them. Iskander-E might piss Israelis off a little but nothing they can't handle. Amurs won't stand much of a chance against dolphins but will be a threat to the saar-5's

Milan 2-T is not in the same class as Nag or konkurs. It can't kill any of them. But its a good idea to beef up the security. the Helina and LCH need to cone into service soon. Paki armour would never dare to come with 5 km of border.

I have done 120 miles per hour many times on Interstate 79 and 90 travelling between Toronto and Pittsburgh as recent as three weeks ago., but always less than 3 minutes. You do need a good car, empty straight stretch for few miles and good brakes to do 120 MPH. Any speed that is over 20% than the ...

Brak-2 is important for the navy. The stupid UPA govt is bending to the wishes of filthy commie ********.

Igorr has been here for a long while and I don't see why people seem to be offended by his views? Frankly I find the pro- US views from so called "Indians" more despicable.

$ 4 bil per CVF is just the estimate. :roll: . Rest assured by the time it actually comes the price would have shot upto a minimum of $ 5-6 billion. The gorky for under $ 2 bil is still decent. Cavour cost was about 2 billion, IAC looking at about 1 billion will definetly hit 2 billion+ by the time...

My point is if the environment is hazardous like say toxic, corrosive or poisonous substance then it makes sense to ensure that it does not come in contact with the naked skin. Otherwise I agree, chappal is good enough. I used to go to classes in IIT-M wearing bathroom slippers, heck I went to class...

ranganathan

In hazardous jobs wearing indian dhoti and chappels are dangerous. You need to provide proper kit for proper job. Wearing bata or sandak in office is not generally frowned upon on India.

I was under the impression that brahmos-8 (2) was to have a speed of mach 8? 5.26 is just barely hypersonic, I hope they can increase it to high hypersonic speed of mach 7-8

The metro is going to have an excellent safety record.

I had a question regarding A-1. Since it is the first stage of A-2, will development of A-2 (AT) lead to an extended range A-1(AT)?

ranganathan

Good excuse for US and israel to draw the arabs (Saudi, UAE, Bahrain etc) onto their side and start nuking syria and iran. Really interesting times.

ranganathan

So what happened to Agni-4? Does Agni-3 SL become Agni-4?

ranganathan

Turks are secular in name only. They have always been pro islam and pro pakis. Its only the arabs that they hate. India thankfully supports Greece and Cyprus.

ranganathan

The next good news should be the AD1/AD2 test.

the Agni -3 TD is generations ahead. The SS-20 had progressively slimmer stages and even it's first stage wasn't 2.0 m in diameter. Not to mention avionics, payload adapter , composite stages, etc. The russki general is probably on a nostalgia trip and used the SS-20 to only make a point about the ...

Arun the diameter is also quoted as 2.0 m opposed to 1.8m. What gives?
