From the papers, it is evident ISRO took nothing for granted and had multiple redunduncies at every stage. Very robust hardware design wise I think. What they lacked was data to tune the software which will be available only by doing such landings multiple times. If vikram wakes up hope they get the...

my query was regarding fine breaking sequence with 2 thrusters and not after it landed.

https://directory.eoportal.org/web/eopo ... 4rS13eHerb

The link has a figure saying only 2 were used in fine breaking.

If the other 2 thrusters(which were shut down) are fired will not that oppose the turning movement. The craft gimbaled along the axis perpendicular to the sides on which thrusters were shut down.

ISRO can release more detailed telemetery data and timelines in its website if it is OK with the powers that be. What happened to the lander? We know that the Moon's environment is super hostile. Did that environment have a role to play in the lander's failure? Did one of the 800KN engines under pe...

I think ISRO should do a Vikram-R or 2 with a rover as a stand alone mission than expediting Chandrayan-3 Mission. since we already have orbiter around the moon and which is expected to be there for 7 years. We should modify Vikram and the rover based on the data received and may be add a Radioisot...

Allowing hellfire with LCH would impact future sales of apache (read IA). Doubt they would allow it. The weapons and sensors(longbow) were the bait to buy the platform. They might allow helina on apache if we ask for it, just like israelis fire spike from their apache. But for only 22 apache we boug...

So if the Mig-21 had had a RWR, he would have had the chance to evade the incoming amraam and come back unscathed. His bison should be having one on the tip of tail. But the amraam must have been guided either by F16 or erieye. And it must locked on after coming close. Maybe something like briteclo...

Anti armour Shtrum will require a beam to ride on and hence also the small radar like on mi-35. A modification like this on a platform optimized for high altitude performance doesnt look economical. I think the entire anti armour role will be taken by 22 + 6 + 30 apache on the plains. LCH will be de...

RT yesterday had interview with paki high commissioner to uk in its 'going underground' program. They seem to be in a diplomatic overdrive on this. prospects of kashmir slipping out of their hands and their only reason for existence has clearly rattled them.

No. The (big) dams are practically empty. The smaller ones downstream are filled up and some opened. The rain seems to be more in the foothills and midlands this time.

Likewise, TCR-EKM is ridiculously slow: I wonder what the hangup is, it's firm railbed, double electrified tracks. TCR-EKM should be like 40 minutes flat with 3 stops. Then EKM-Kottayam likewise can be sped up a lot. TCR-Guruvayoor probably takes a long time too, I wouldn't know. Seems like the tra...

Assuming 5k+ diesels will be converted to electric , adding 800+ from alsthom and existing 5k+ electrics, GE's 1000 diesel will probably constitute 10% of rail transport mix.

Piyush goyal did try to convince GE to scrap the diesel project and manufacture something else. But they did not budge.

The 'vertical tail' aka paki mijjile is the starboard stabilizer. The assembly is lying with the tail on the ground.

arvin

lalmo no ji for me.
what protected AV from the blast near the tail could be the design of mig 21 cockpit. The pilot sits well inside and the canopy barely rises above the spine. But this also hampers rear view visibility. All efforts in design were focussed on supersonic performance.

Repeating.. what type of explosion would 1. Shear off the tail portion 2. Pepper tail with shrapnel 3. And rest of fuse seems without shrapnel Stabilizers also without sharpnel.

Could be a flat spin. The way the Mig hit the ground it appears as if port side wing hit the ground first then the fuselage. The wing is totally mangled, twisted over the fuselage. The starboard wing OTOH is distinctly identifiable and other parts inside fuselage.
