Once we test out the A2A version of Rudram-1, there is no escape for the Pak propeller AWACS. It is all nice and TFTA to show around number of propeller AWACS in peace time. In a war, when your adversary is going to have a 200 - 250KM long ARM, streaming at you at Mach 4, datalinked, you really hop...

There's been some discussion about ASBM in the previous page. DRDO has a dedicated ASBM project. Some key requirements for an ASBM that's different from SMART: 1) Longer ranger. Must be 1500 Km+ at least 2) The missile must have a seeker. For SMART, that's taken care of by the sub-munition, i.e. th...

Yes, the 450 Kms test was achieved 3 years back. There was a proposal to increase the range to 600 Kms along with the Russians in 2016. Don't know what happened to that because the test was supposed to be by end of 2018. . These are all understated ranges. The Russians have an 800km version iirc. I...
