Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
There's a report that entire missile was recovered from sea so they'll be able to do extremely good failure analysis. Impossible. 1. If a self-destruct button was used, missile won't be in one piece even before it hits the water. 2. If a self-destruct button was not used, the missile will be in tho...

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
I am glad that they are rushing things out faster. As long as the test missiles are properly instrumented even a few minutes of flight provide truly valuable input and validate various sub-systems. Trying to create the perfect system with 99% success probability takes much longer than one with 90% s...

This is using a Trapeze Launcher https://fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/equip/lau-141.htm Looks like there was a small time gap between the disengagement of the front and the back connection point.

Range is not useful without speed and manoeuvrability. How manoeuvrable is ngarm ? The dual pulse motor should be a dead giveaway for the role it is intended for. Besides AWACS are just sluggish commercial aircrafts bogged down with additional equipment. Not much energy required by the missile in e...

Re: Indian Air Force News & Discussion - 15 Dec 2016
One thing to consider is that R73's can be launched at a very high off-boresight angle. Even as high as 90 degrees. The same is likely not true for the R77 because the beam angle of the Kopyo in the Mig21 nosecone is likely not as wide. An IR lock is much harder to break and jam, especially if you ...

When it comes to unmanned equipment (eg: cruise missiles) the risk/cost of an imperfect product is low. If the weapon hits its target within the CEP it is clearly a positive.

There is a law of diminishing returns in any area. And warfare is often asymmetric. The PLAN is now larger than USN. However, just having those ships will not be enough.

+1 on what Karan said. Abhinandan did use radar scans to detect PAF aircraft but was close enough to take an IR shot. The battle area was compressed due to the Pir Panjal range. PAF did not see him till he crossed over, and that meant that the air-battle got out of a pure BVR mode pretty quickly. An...
