I cannot understand IA's obsession with tank cannon fired atgm. What exactly is the point.?

Just have couple of Namicas or any other missile carrier vehicle accompany the tanks. They will be able to do this task much better.

Why then stop at women only, why not members from SC/ST community, why not from minorities let's have them too. What about LGBT community.

Pinaka, Grad, SANT, ballistic missile, CBU etc can only be used in a full fledged war. In that scenario there is no reverse slope. IAF can directly hit them using LGB. We are discussing the current fight on LoC, where none of these are available. And no, GoI will not ask IAF to bomb, unless Pak inv...

darshhan

We need arty fired precision guided shells like US Excalibur but with a perpendicular drop feature over the target to destroy arty positions in reverse slope. The idea of a ramjet powered shell doesn't seem too crazy anymore. Norway's ramjet powered artillery shell If we can destroy two positions o...

Brahmos is not the right tool for the job. Harris’s ji has captured is best in “jiska kaaj usi ko saadhe”. But an air breathing LRSAM (enlarged SFDR) is an interesting proposition. Interesting pros and cons . Can't really think of any con except when it comes to absolute kinetic performance (not su...

I have watched the Zsu being tried on the valiant Shaktiman, 4 ton, and the venerable Tata 7 ton as well. The shock absorbers was what died the quickest death. So you needed ground platforms on the side so you were not translating the recoil shock via the leaf springs or shock absorbers to the grou...

Why Sulur? 1. Just 30 minutes flight or 5 Hours drive away from HAL 2. Relatively empty airspace 3. Deep south, away from prying eyes. 4. Plenty of space. Perhaps we can see Tejas doing low level canyon runs in the hills of Ooty & Coonoor too . I doubt this because of the presence of Cordite Fa...

I would like to add one another point.

If we are sactioned for no mistake of ours and just to satisfy the whims and fantasies of the American deep state, then it actually frees us to resume nuclear testing. So I would say Bring it on.

darshhan

So what happens to f404 based tejas if caatsa sanctions go through? Do you really have to ask a question to understand what will happen to tejas program if we are sanctioned? But anyways the answer is that we will have to defeat and destroy our military enemies(pakis and/or chinese) in the next war...

darshhan

Well with most of the technology in place as a result of the nag program. It was always a question mark for me, as to why we were looking at imported weapon rather than developing in house solution. I am happy with the test. It is 7 or 8 year behind time. But as they say. Better late than never. Wh...

darshhan

I can understand the rationale behind arty rounds such as Excalibur or the laser guided rounds or for that matter the PGK. to that extent I also understand the idea behind VLAP or ERFB. But a ramjet powered round makes no sense to me. As you could simply add a solid booster and launch it like a mis...

The development trials showed barrel gets worn out around 3000 rounds . So these guns are in first quartile. OFB needs to make spare barrels for future. Thats all. I like the Dhanush for its affordability and as better than the Soltam upgrade. Still much better than tank barrels whose life is measu...

darshhan

Dhanush did come with one disadvantage in terms of organisational backing. The project's main backer in IA was the then chief Gen VK Singh himself. His tenure was scuttled by then current political dispensation and afterwards the powers that be proceeded to dismantle his legacy in everything constru...

By the way American fanboys on BRF are nowhere to be seen now. Looks like all of them fled with tails tucked between their legs.

These state police forces have good tactical gear. But what about their level of training?

these days american salesmen & fanboys far outnumber the lone russian gear loyalist. To add to russian misery, even that lone russian gear loyalist is extremely crude. This level of crudeness actually backfires by producing extreme revulsion and contempt for perceived or real slavishness toward...

Have Russians ever even indicated that they are ready to sell fulcrum's design and other ipr for a price? Why would they do so? It wouldnt be easy to convince them.

Looks to me that we are discussing hot air only.

By the time you sign the dotted line, qualify a new engine, radar, go from IOC to FOC another 10-12 years would have gone by. Do you still think it will be worth it if that is the timeline?
