Rudra, are you sure the tail will house the towed decoy, most other fighters have such decoys installed in the wingtips.

If its name is Tejas, then change the name of the thread.

Nice name BTW.

Nope, he is just stating that the Ka-50 can perform at those altitudes.

Cy, the Su-32 is not intended as a replacement for the Su-25, but for the Su-24. I doubt the russkies will replace their Su-25s anytime soon as they seem to have been quite pleased with their performance in Chechnya, the Su-25 is a good CAS aircraft, not as great as the A-10 though, but it will get ...

Go for it Rummie, restart the manufacture of the A-10, that would be great, and they arent ugly, they are purdy, big, chubby and purdy, just like a cow

Shiv, you mean the Mirage most to the left, that could be some reconpod, or a targeting/designating pod, but IMO its a reconpod.

Nandai

Ummm, you might wanna check out the Armour thread, there is a Nag discussion there already, unnecessary to open a new thread for this.

The problem with Vikhr is that there seem to be 2 diffirent missiles known as Vikhr, one being more capable, and this more capable version is a laser beam-rider.

I remember reading back when the new Mi-17s were ordered that they would be equipped with the Vikhr ATGM system, a nice system indeed

The chilean navy also uses Barak onboard its heavily modified County class destoyers.

http://www.hazegray.org/worldnav/americas/chile.htm

Venezuela has the ground launched version of Barak on order, the system consists mainly of the Barak launcher and a Flycatcher radar.

Nandai

Austin, you forgot the biggest advantage Barak has over Trishul, it is in service, and has been ordered by several countries.

Nandai

The Myriad has 2000 ready-to-fire rounds.

There is also a question about how long it takes for the gatling gun to accelerate the barrels up to the maximum speed. So in the beginning of the burst the rpm is quite a bit lower, unles you keept the barrels spinning the whole time, which you dont.

I agree Nitin, I hope it is the bad ass version of the Vikhr, tandem warheads, supersonic, 10km range and can also wreck havoc against slow moving air targets, like Cobra attack helicopters. Found a picture of it. <img src="http://www.jed.simonides.org/missiles/atk/vikhr_series/vikhr.jpg" ...

Nandai

But Geeth, I was talking about navies that equip their ships with VSHORADs as the only defence against air attack.
A Mistral launcher wont do sh*t against a Brahmos or a Harpoon, as it wont have time to react and fire the missile.

Nandai

Okey, found it, but it doesnt make any sence, it says AT-16/9M120. But according to this site the AT-16 has the russian name 9M121, and the AT-9 is called 9M120. The AT-9 and AT-16 are related, the 16 is the 9s bigger brother, with longer range and according to some sources double warheads. :whine: ...

Nandai

I think there are 2 versions of Vikhr, one with a shorter range and laser only guidance, could that have something to do with this?

Nandai

Yes, the russians have a way of making it very difficult for people to keep track of all the names they give to their systems, which they tend to change on a regular basis just to screw with us. The Vikhr has laser guidance as standard, but can be equipped with IR and even radar guidance as an optio...
