Those are different aircraft designed to different requirements. Lockheed had the opportunity to propose a new F-16 based designed for different requirements (more range, and more payload) and on both (F-16 XL and F-16 U) occasions they addressed the internal fuel. You build an aircraft to the requ...

I am highly skeptical they can pull it off, I think France managed to fleece another military 10 billion for 4 Scorpene and Brazil is spending 7 billion for their first SSN. So they are hardly saving any money doing this approach and smaller SSN greatly cripples its operational ability as French fo...

Based on the above analysis, the following characteristics of the missile emerge. It is a three stage missile with a diameter of 1.4 m and a length of nearly 13.2 m . The first two stages cumulatively weigh around 17.2 tonnes (t) carrying 16.7 t of fuel . The PDV-derived third stage which includes ...

Regarding Prahaar being ergonomic :- Perhaps it is meant to convey that it is much more ergonomical than bulkier Prithvi and easier to manage once canisterized. Ergonomic is like ergonomic access to various LCA panels. Missile also requires periodic human checks, so ergonomics is important. Imagine...

The stage weights seem to be correct for the dimensions. Even if one approaches them from the K4 direction, one reaches very similar numbers. Your stage 1 is essentially the Agni IV stage 2 in terms of dimensions. So atleast they know how to build the casing with woven composite filaments. So that ...

Replacement for every missile from Prithvi to Agni IV is in the works: shorter, stouter, optimized, canisterized and more accurate. We know about Prahaar, Pralay, Shaurya, K4 derivative. I will not be surprised that there is a 2 stage missile with a 1 mtr diameter and 12 mtr height weighing around ...

Haridas

I could be wrong. From some previous calculations. They were packing about 16.5 tons of fuel into he two stages of K4 . 1 stage dimension without nozzle is 5.5mtrs X 1.4 mtrs and 2nd stage dimension without nozzle is 1.4 mtr X 1.4 mtr. You want me to consider fuel weight as 16.5T or (AUW -payload w...

Comparing Gripen display seems like a nonquestion to me , we are continuously evolving, at most, it will be a point-in-time comparison, which would be invalid in a few months.

In any case coming back to the original argument the long range Indian missiles have a range and the lower range is stated e.g. there is no official report that Agni 5 is anything but 5000 kms missile but Chinese sources have stated that it is 5000-8000 kms range. Becoz Chinese don't look for credi...

as per the highly irritated chinese, Indian delivery systems are already capable of 8-10,000 KM plus. Unable to quote sources now but I have at times seen peeved comments by chinese guys on the net, on and off. They generally get agitated whenever India goes in for long range tests..

I am absolutely sure that the Tesse Thomas interview context was wrongly reported becuase it is impossible physics to keep same A3 performace by reducing A3 vehicle weight from 48 tonnes to 22 tonnes using any type of exotic solid fuel or casing material.
