Re: Significant breakthrough in Nag project

this is like mahabarat scenario.. all it is required is to have key/value mapping pairs of information that is static available to all Nags currently launched.. it should only take a fraction of second to access this information while on "lock", to validate how many of its friends are havi...

Re: Significant breakthrough in Nag project

some dumbo Qs?

Would our kanchan armour on top of arjun tanks(?), withstand a Nag hit?

How many Nags would it take to destroy an arjun?

Can two or more Nags lock on to a same target?

Can two mor more Nagas lock onto separate targets at the same time/launch from an helo?

Re: Significant breakthrough in Nag project

I don't think so.. may Nag with 3kgs of the solid propellent more can make it another 2 to 4 kilometers. :) .. will have to wait after the product is used effectively and feedback comes back to DRDO.. it will be improvised.

Re: Significant breakthrough in Nag project

why not then the helo itself launch the NAG. Fire {within 4kms}and move {10kms away}after launch is easy and brisk. 100 such helos with 10 Nags each can kill 1000 al khalids. Nag betters hellfire!? could have laser designator versions too. some more range improvements could be better, and DU NAGs wo...

Re: Aero India 2003 - News & Reports

Hawk factory would be shutdown if indian order should not be in the offing... perhaps thats what india wants.. and slowing moving those shut services and part companies/sectors to india, at a much cheaper agreement. ;) . nice move! By then, our own ajt would be ready, along with LCA. time-wise!

How about A Project of Inter Linking of Indian Rivers "PIRIL" or APRIL, or something that sounds nice.
