How tests can be conducted without NOTAM? Most likely those were to test launch from under water. Hint: Prithvi is the single most tested ballistic missile in modern history. Hardly any quarter goes by without a test. :wink: I think under the name of Prithvi we have tested all other missiles too. T...

The AAM is R 60 NATO Codename 'Aphid". Did we really use R 60 on MiG 27 / MiG 23 MF? Kh-29 missiles. Visually similar to R-60 but larger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kh-29 I think the fins near the nose look more like those of R60 than than of Kh 29. These fins of R 60 look bigger than on K...

The "Malhotra" in this tweet is Air Commodore Ravish Malhotra (retd) who served as the back up of Wing Commander Rakesh Sharma (Retd). The latter was the first Indian in space, for anyone who does not know. I am posting this tweet, as it has rare MiG-23 and MiG-27 pictures in IAF service....

So now someone is asking for the locations of Akash batteries ? :eek: Isn't this supposed to be confidential information. :shock: Dear Kersi, I was referring to publicly published information by the services themselves and not from any other sources. So there is a difference. Also I remember you we...

A decade back photos of IAF bases were Pechora missiles, P-18 radars and MiG-21s. How much have things changed! https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ELgp4OZU8AAUTzc.jpg We've seen photos of Akash at Tezpur, Chabua, Gwalior & Pune. Where else? So now someone is asking for the locations of Akash batteries...

What would be the area covered / sanitised by each squadron ? What are the likely locations ? I would say they could be around Delhi, Mumbai, Visakhapatnam, Tawang / Tezpur and Jodhpur.

My deep worry is that this controversy will derail the critically required S-400 and other deals already cleared some time ago, reported to be sealed when Pres.Putin visits.As I said before, is there a larger angle to M.Hollande's ( well timed?) allegation? Russian "eco system" in Indian ...

Philip, I get the feeling future no govt will buy European planes. It will be Desi, Russian or US. This is probably the game being played by US and Russia, thorough their local goons. The local goons are either bought / too dumb to realise that how they are the pawns in the dirty arms game. The win...

A thought in my mind since a long time. If we can have a single (or maximum twin) seat aircraft can't we have single / twin manned tank with say automatic loader ? Why Not ?

Igla SAMs "stations" are located at some on the nuclear installations. The air space around these installationsis no-fly zone. These Igla installations are manned 24/7 and work on basis of shoot-at-sight ask and answer questions later. These Igla stations may be later manned by CISF. More ...

I understand that IAF / IN has installed radar(s) on ONGC offshore platform(s). Probably THD 1955 or TRS 2155. It sounds like Star Wars !!

Is Rohini associated with any specific SAM ? I guess it will be a surveillance radar at each AFB and major industrial / defence installations Rohini is a derivative of the 3D CAR which is the surveillance radar for Akash batteries.

Kersi

Kersi, Rohini is a derivative of 3D-CAR with some extra local tech and modifications for the surveillance role and the other is a Naval version with a newer antenna specifically meant for the Navy, extra stabilization plus signal processing mods for detecting low flying sea skimming missiles. 3D-CA...

Kersi

I am confused. Is 3D-CAR and Rohini the same radars ? I believe that Rohini (IAF) and Revathi (IN) are very similar if not the same.

Forget looking towards west, even the eastern neighbour does not have a homegrown fighter with home grown air-to-air refueling. To turn it around, put LCA at Anini ALG, takes off with an optimum load out for A2G and two WVR missiles & a centerline drop tank and then tops up both the internal fu...

I though Helmet Mounted Sight was a part of the '"original" Rafale.
