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...

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. It may have even be intentional to orient the head of the missile downwards. But the missile did self-stab...

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...

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 ...

1. Cartographic: India's long term goal should be to restore India-China relationship to what it was historically. Not neighbors. This means demilitarized zone (Tibet) separating India and China. 2.

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. If it does not you at least learn how it worked and where it failed; you can think of the use of these as testing in a produc...

The issue is even a LAC wide fight is too remote for the Chini population to be effected. The dead bodies will be hidden, just like it was done after Galwan.

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. A single squadron of Brahmos armed MKIs can take out an entire PLAN task force from hundreds of miles, unless the PLAN can provide...

+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...

There is no need to settle now. The PLA will re-arm and then when the world is distracted come again. What India needs to do is to ensure they can fortify and hold the heights through winters.
