Can anyone identify this loadout? From https://youtu.be/Y1pj8yqrKlI?t=92 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DdVEYmbVQAA1LWB.jpg Doc saar I will give it a shot most of the AAMs seem to be r73s and aa10s with the center fuselage engine pylons sporting possibly a combo it IR aa10 on port and semi active or a...

the 30yo P15 delhi class carries 48 big SAMs and 16 barak1 SRSAM. plus 16uran in inclined tubes. fairly meaty for a ship of that size. the aft barak8 silos on 15A/B can surely be doubled in size to add 16 more. and new QRSAM in peripheral boxes whether VL or trainable. atleast fit and test the cell...

Sir Ji I reckon thats an AL Super Stallion or something on the lines I reckon based on form factor. Highly doubt thats a Tatra

Brar many thanks for the details on Amraam ER. The ability to tackle TBM threat is exactly what I feel the ESSM brings in addition to being able to tackle AA threats. But as you said the sensor systems are not set up. I still think the mobile version of AEGIS will still have quite a large footprint ...

^ The above video talks abt "Permasyn" motors , which, IIRC, is made by Siemens. The 2 x diesel engine comes from MAN. So looks like significant German input in the "move" category. Dineshji Man diesels are an excellent choice and probably best in the business. Their diesels are...

Its been ongoing for years with both Boeing and Raytheon working hard at both internal bay carriage, range..... They have mature, off the shelf solutions for longer/extended range needs for legacy F-15Cs and Es if anything over and above the Aim-120D is needed on those fighters. Its been reported t...

The AMRAAM-ER program already exists. It is basically the Aim-120 C7 front end, guidance, warhead and data-link mated to an ESSM motor... Brar cheers for this. Interesting to know the C7 being mated to the Essm motor. I still do think that ESSM will find its way to being a land based Sam eventually...

There is some hugely positive news on the AWACS front as well. Will keep it for later. ;) Karan saar you are acutuely aware that this statement is a KLPD for jingos. Bliss to share. I also have a humble request if I may....I have been trying to understand where LRDE is headed in terms of TRM produc...

andy B

Brar Warrior firstly thanks for your ongoing contribution to discussions across multiple threads much appreciated! I have a small query if I may....with the ongoing blk 2 ESSM testing and due induction do you see the Amraam being modded with the larger ESSM motor (was it six inch cant remember) to g...

From the link: Su30 can do mach 1.2 with the Brahmos attached! its a beast! :-D In Wind Tunnel, for Sure. Not so sure about real life. Jay S saar reckon you are bang on, highly doubt a full supersonic release in real time conditions. I think a more realistic launch profile will be high subsonic. St...

FATCA compliance is only required for those who have US assets . This includes all US people (citizens and GCs) and work visa holders . There’s no requirement for regular folks’ information to be passed to US authorities - no country would do that . If compliance is a burden, Indian banks can just ...

thats a very unique & strange way of TDing a fighter! for a space rocket I can understand some sub-scale stuff to proof techs but no conventional fighter. all the modern ones have always been of the full up size, though design mods were done after TD testing the chinese J35 and J20 also started...

andy B

Please take a look at the form if you can, just in case you haven't already. Why do the amrekis want your PAN no and other details, including whether you have political connections/influence or not?? What if you are just an average aam aadmi Indian investor with nil foreign dealings?? Chetak saar, ...

Additional KYC in terms of FATCA is being pushed by SEBI, I hear. Saw an actual for this "Additional KYC" which I declined to sign. Why are Indians being asked to sign FATCA?? WTF, do we have to do, with some amreki laws?? Chetak saar I can only share what I see in the banking sector. At ...

Brar saar agreed. The SGAF has been involved with rhe IAF for a long long time around Kalaikunda for many years now. This does indeed speak volumes about confidence in Tejas as a system great news. In terms of SGAF needs there is really no place for Tejas or any other type at this juncture. They cur...

Sir, honestly all the holes I see are fastening holes only and the round white thing allover the body seems to be sea corrosion or invasive organic growth See this image - look at the plate the guy is holding at bottom left - you can see his thumb and fingers. The fastening holes are seen separatel...

Interesting q&a about the Gripen bit of floundering when it comes to the naval version which we all know is a damn farce!!!

andy B

50k for 200+ Rambhas and 60k for only ~20 Mi-35 gunships? The numbers don't make sense. Cannon is only "just in case" for Su-30. It is an integral part of the attack package for Mi 35. Videos show Mi 35 going "brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" . Never heard S...

andy B

Saar thats an CATM 84 D (captive carry training missile) Harpoon onlee

Not sure in background if its an IN or IAF dhruv as its blurry as hell...Not sure if this is at a Jag or a P8 I Neptune base!

andy B

Damn can the bottom plate of the truck, the gun is mounted on take it without buckling? Must be really strong. Saar the thing has 4 hydraulic jacks which would be used to set the thing stable prior to firing. The base mounting plate would transfer and dissipate the energy to the hydraulic mountings...

Sid - i follow the logic, but fail to see how apaches alone can sanitise to any serious depth...? Lalmullah you are bang on! Khan will deploy Solah CJs blk 50s dedicated for sead and dead roles as well as upcoming growlers and soon to be retired prowlers. Apaches would have a very hard time in this...

Just for kicks in case wasnt posted here before. Has some good in cockpit footage of hud and mfd symbology etc.

Vish, I have lived in Oz longer than you have and continue to live here. India is where my heart is but oz is home. Given a set of circumstances or at least a reasonable chance they will happen in the forseable future, I would return to India. Many forumites,see Australia as some sort of bastion of...

Carter is expected to take the DTTI to "the next level". April 10 is the day. All said and done, perhaps the F-18 in all forms is the way to go. IAF, IN including the Growler. Better still the F-35, all variants. Nrao saar IMVHO the Shornet for Iaf most probably will require the 414 EPE i...

Austin any idea what Su30 that cockpit is from.....to me that looks like the Russian SM as those mfds look distinctively russian and it also looks like it has the single panel hud?

to me main diff looks like 48 or 40 vs 32 barak8 and same for barak1 as well in the back . the brahmos cellcount is also increased by some 8 more I think with more efficient packing arrangement. this opens up room for a mixed load of say 8 brahmos and 16 nirbhays to permit some long range land atta...

Via key pubs Tu214 ISR asset on it way to Syria. This may be the start of more eagles coming in to help the fight at minas tirith GD! Wonder when we will see nosy river joints and Jstars starting to orbit if not doing so already !! http://theaviationist.com/2016/02/15/tu214r-deployed-to-syria/

Daktir Sahab a few years ago I scanned and uploaded every single article on IAF covered by AFM and ACM. They have never covered the Tejas in detail ever. However as Alan Warnes is all chummy with the Fizzleya they keep getting lots of coverage on the bunder. Oh well just happy to see a brilliant dis...

Some higher resolution images. Thanks for posting. There is a red and yellow livery ALH with floats carrying the tail designation ZD. What does that indicate? Doc ji given the floats plus wheels plus what effectively looks like MK3 gear and flir best guess i reckon is a IN MK3 bird in special liver...

So the TOR remains the only proper SAM system that can fire on the move. The Bradley/Stinger is more VSHORADS than SHORADS.. Of course being Russian, serviceability will be missing. Best we go for our own QRSAM based off of the Astra! Karan Ji Bliss to See below. Impressive acceleration combined wi...
