Kudos to the designer and builders of the P17. However, like some other posters, I was wondering what will happen if we used the whole front raised deck for installing the VLS cells.

I initially thought the same, but found this video which shows the off-axis movement of the Smerch tubes (aro...

isn't size of hydraulics here too big for its payload? If we compare it to Smerch or Grad, they appear to be a bit bigger. (Speculating): Is it possible that the hydraulics have been designed to handle higher weight rockets later on? From the first photograph posted on Livefist , the launcher conta...

No doubt Anant. I agree with what you are saying here. Wish we could select the planes purely on technical merit based on IAFs requirement and the finances available.
