Bharat Rakshak

Bheeshma

Yeah and it makes sense if you can pack multiple missiles in a larger silo. There is no way to get 2 K-4 missiles in a single silo. Was the silo made bigger so it could take the larger K-5?

Bheeshma

More power to houtis!! May they take out rawheel and his sunni coalition.

Bheeshma

Nope that part must be about K-15. So they are still sticking to 17 tonne 1.3 m dia bit. I thought the Arihant Silos were 2.1 m wide. How do they pack this 1.3 m missile in it?

Bheeshma

As per wiki it is 2.5 tonne but then who knows. The numbers DRDO throws up are mostly to confuse everyone. Even Agni-1/1V ranges are quoted for 1 tonne. I can't figure out why? They won't carry anything heavier than 500 -600 Kg.

Bheeshma

India should make sure Iran and Houtis have enough to tackle this alliance and ensure an islamic civil war in the middle east for a few decades. Nothing better than these piglets keeping themselves busy killing each other.

Bheeshma

Ah I missed the schematics in page 6/7. It looks like the whole canister is only 9.05 m long so I assume the missile is less than 9m.

Bheeshma

Agni-1P is two stage missile. I think 8 m is too short for that. Maybe first stage is 8 m long? A-1 itself is 15 m so half the length and smaller dia may not be correct?
The specs you mentioned are nearly identical to shaurya. 10 m , 0.74m dia and 6.2 tons.

Bheeshma

How many user trials are required before it gets Inducted? I guess now SFC will conduct at least 3-4 user trails of A-5?

Bheeshma

Cwapies will make sure they have enough polio cases and sharia going around that chinis will not set foot there.

Bheeshma

Thanks Indranil. I hope they replicate that in the Nirbhay if that's what is causing the problems. But there could be other issues. Nirbhay like Prahaar is a low cost bread and butter option for mass hits after the uber Brahmos & Shaurya have knocked out AD components and bunkers. They both need...

Bheeshma

Regarding the Nirbhay wing issue, I believe the 100 km range SAAW also has a similar slot for the wings. Why is it not an issue on the SAAW?

Bheeshma

Chinese will never know if we or unkil has paased them nukes. Let them keep guessing. Brahmos (500 Km) long range will be ideal to mix it up in Indo-china sea.

Bheeshma

Exactly!! Thats why an MIRV capable A-6 and K-5 are very important. Along with bread and butter Brahmos, nirbhay and Prahaar to take care of pakis.

Bheeshma

US just needs to move THAAD shield to Japan and SoKo. Even if pakis get a 4000 km missile what is it they will do? Nothing at all. Suddenly all the IMF loans and baksheesh will stop and china cannot support pakis economically like the west. Its an empty threat directed at US. Though I think Vietnam ...

Bheeshma

The chinese are beginning to unravel. :rotfl: . Wait till K-4 SLBM is test fired again. You will see them squealing on every channel. The fact that A-4 and 5 are almost inducted means chinis are no longer the only top dogs in asia. Arihant too has played a part in setting their asses on fire. I hope...

Bheeshma

Only 2 will be joining IAF so they can easily order 4 more and have an squadron of 6 before the AWACS India flies.But is embraer still on blacklist?

Bheeshma

Wouldn't Shaurya or Brahmos-2 (range permitting) be ideal to take these out? Why waste a BM? Shaurya has enough range 1200-1800 Km and is fast enough that it won't be intercepted. :?: Don't fully agree with gagnulla. A-6 better be our own SS-18 SATAN type, 20 m long , 2.0 m wide and 10-20 100 KT war...

Bheeshma

A very happy new year to all.

Bheeshma

I am sure he means the K4-5 can carry those MIRV's. I remember a presentation which mentioned K-5 with 4-6 warheads. The K-15 carries a single warhead.

Bheeshma

I am pretty sure in Anti Ship or Carrier killer role Shaurya or K-15 will finds its niche role. Arihants and future SSN's may carry them but the current DDG's cannot take the 6.2 tonne missile. It makes a lot more sense than Tomahawk, Barbur or DingDong-21 sort of BM for carrier killing role. The ne...

Bheeshma

Even puny tinpots like qatar and kuwait will have 8 C-17's. Very bad planning from GoI and IAF in that regard. They may have to do with 11 C-17 and same number of IL-76's.

Bheeshma

Why?? We already have SA-16 and 18. Is it for the AH-64D?

Bheeshma

Instead of buying 1 apiece why not 2 more and make 2 squadrons of 6 each? Complemented by 12-18 IL-76's (upgraded if possible) its a pretty decent heavy lift capability for IAF.
More importantly isn't C-17 production line closed? So second hand would be the only option. In that case why only 1?

Bheeshma

Surely Pinaka Mk2 with 65 Km range can put Skardu out of commission? I hope it is inducted soon with ATAGS and Dhanush variants.

The vid seems like BM-21 Grad.

Bheeshma

I don't see logic of pellets. Use proper bullets and shoot to kill. Its only 1 million or so in valley, no one will miss them.

Bheeshma

RSS needs to organize in WB and start a godhra like retaliation. The pissful always respond positively when dealt with a stick. Like they say latton ke bhoot batton se nahi mantey.

Bheeshma

Read it carefully..its meant for pakistani americans. They know the goras are not stupid enough to invest in pakistan, they are hoping to con the paki abcd's into coming to the la-la-land.

Bheeshma

Yes, and then it fill fall into Agni-5 territory (5-8K). Now we will say but Agni-5 is 8-10 K. In which case why do we need Agni-6 unless it is our own SS-18 version with half a dozen MaRV's mean to be a final solution kind of weapon.

Bheeshma

1. Study the flight paths of Agni-1P and Shaurya and you would realize that there is no overlap. Range is only one parameter. 2. Agni 4 is Agni 2P. Agni-2P/4 will replace Agni-2. The productionized Agni-3 is not what was shown on RD parades :wink:. All lessons learnt on Agni-2P/4 have been applied ...

Bheeshma

So Why do we need 2 or more missiles for each segment?

300-1200 - Agni1-P and Shaurya (if at all?)
2000-4000 - Agni-2, Agni-3 and Agni-4
4000-8000 - Agni-5 and Agni-6?

It looks like too much overlap, especially if most of them only carry 1 warhead.

Bheeshma

Turkey is in for a full fledged civil war unfortunately. Lets see if an independent Kurdistan will finally come to fruition.

Bheeshma

So US and NATO have training experts in suicide bombing and IED's? Where did they learn it? From Pakis or Taliban?

Bheeshma

Why?? I have full confidence in A-5 success.

Bheeshma

Lets see how quickly the payback comes.

Bheeshma

Army will also have field Arty regiments that require 105 mm guns. I doubt they will do away with them. The Mountain divisions will definitely retain 105 mm guns and if they are only 900 odd kg then rest assured IA will buy enough of them.

Bheeshma

Time to take out turkey itself. I doubt it was US or anyone else. Maybe Constantinople will return to christians sooner than thought.

Bheeshma

Any chance the Kalyani's 105mm mounted gun (that reportedly weighs 900 kg) will be accepted by BSF atleast? It would be a great addition and will help pulverize the pakis without escalating to the army level.

Bheeshma

The pakis are desperate to be anyones whore. US and Russia both know it. They also know china doesn't have military or economic muscle to support pakis. So clever by half pakis are hoping china will give them money wile russians provide them free weapons. The arabs seem to have washed their hands of...

Bheeshma

GCC area has 1 million plus Indians. So no it is not good for us. Now if it shifts to Saudi Jordan and turkey its a different matter.

Bheeshma

In a future war with pakistan, we may ally with TTP, BLA, SLA, it doesn't mean they are all good people. It just means they are on our side in that cause. Krishna had no qualms of seeking mayasura's help when it came to building hideout for pandavas. Except hezbollah and IRGC are not allies of conv...
