Can we add PL-15, a few were recovered completely intact, Paki Auzrangazeb etc where showing PPT with no real military detail

Aditya_V

Yes it's juggling too many balls, here the we have no experience developing AAMs from helicopters, Mistral is fully developed, so we can see what are the issues firing AAM, develop Prachand then integrate VSHORAD, like R 73 and Derby on Tejas before integrating Astra series.

Public information states K4 Range is 3500 with 2500KG warhead, with a single petal 500KG it's range will possibly be much more

Aditya_V

Sorry I guess both posts came simultaneously, now looks like with K-4 launched from INS Arighaat, it is inducted in the fleet, our traid is going well. Chinese will have consider now as our weapons manufacturing capability takes off, there are huge consequences to arming Pakis and BD's

Aditya_V

Was there a K4 missile test from INS Arighaat?

Aditya_V

Our only hope is that there has been covert program using LSP's etc where the GE F404/F414 gets replaced by an alternative.

There is no way that Company/ Country like GE is struggling soo much for F404 engine, it is clearly well though decision not to supply.

Aditya_V

I guess one has to crawl before you walk, get Mistral inducted while Doing the umpteen number of tests to get Vshorad inducted

Aditya_V

Om Shanti to the Pilot and really sad to hear this.

Aditya_V

I am not sure of that, I think the plan is still GAS based Uttam from the 41st Aircraft, the 97 order will get GAN based Uttam

Aditya_V

A US report says after May India Pakistan conflict China 'initiated a disinformation campaign' to hinder sales of French Rafale aircraft in favor of its own J-35s, using 'fake social media accounts to propagate AI images of supposed “debris” from the planes' https://x.com/sidhant/status/199102444257...

Aditya_V

Ideally we should have some with Uttam- AstraMk2 before Sindoor part 2 starts - they way things are going this will definitely be round the corner.

Aditya_V

Rudradev what you say also applies to the Paki Military and Nation as a whole, remove their comforts and leisure, remove the vast quantites of Chinese Europe and American funded weapons, Vehicles and Logistics and they will no better than the Taliban.

Aditya_V

For that you will need INDI alliance Mukht Bharat in all states for 10-15 years

Aditya_V

My Suggestion is that we quietly through our surveillance of Paki unit rotations and hit them on thier side of the Loc at the time of choosing with atleast 80-100 causalities with artillery, drones. And hit the PAF hard , Radars, AEW aircraft and fighters. But again lets do it at the time and place ...

Aditya_V

For 222 engines, plus F414 engines, shouldn't GE move the parts manufactured in South Korea to India, I hope it works out.

Aditya_V

I guess putting Shaheen missile is pretty explosive, so for few years it will be called Fateh 1 till it will be accepted it was a Shaheen, when they saw neither Drones, ACG 400, Shaheen wre getting through , the Pakis begged for ceasefire

Aditya_V

One extreme way of understanding Trump was, India took Pakistani Pants off and were going to Nuke them in response to the intercepted Shaheen missile. I think firing of the Nuclear capable Shaheen missile was the trigger, GOI and Indian Armed forces were pretty charitable to the Pakis till then.

Aditya_V

I just like Automotive engines, size, dimension specific fuel consumption matter, Al31FP engine dimensions are much bigger, heavier and consumes too much fuel for light or medium Aircraft, you can't fit a Toyota innova 2.7 liter Engine gearbox combo in a Maruti Alto. A truck engine will provide load...

Aditya_V

And Knowing Pakis there will definitely be a next time, go for the PAF/PA/PN assets first, non uniformed Jihadis can come later

Aditya_V

Ahem much of the information was leaked to Indian media, and they went bombastic but with Western media narrative and counter claims many Indians including sime on BRF critised them saying there was no absolute proof.

Aditya_V

It is sad but true that Afghanistan has displayed better control over PR and media narrative of the ongoing conflict than India had during Operation Sindoor. Despite arranging daily press briefings etc. India had lost the PR game during Op Sindoor. PR has always been a weak area for Indian gov, be ...

Aditya_V

Those guns were useless, they can kill an unarmed man, if they were any hood, Faujis will be dead, Fauji's rule cause they have the guns otherwise Awam would replaced them.

Aditya_V

Astra Mark 2 missile range to be over 200 km, IAF to buy around 700 for fighter jet fleet

As per ANI unnamed Defense officials that DRDO and IAF have submitted a Proposal for 700 Missiles , Astra MK2 range extended beyond 200KM, I hope this is not delaying earlier plans for Astra Mk2 order

Aditya_V

Based on India's technological journey as well as comparing other nuclear aspiring nations, if the process was so simple as to follow the science, we would have had far more nuclear countries. Also, it is not just about putting together a crude bomb, but also the ability to deliver and get the expe...

Aditya_V

To add one thing after getting nukes from China/US and bombs capable of dropping them F16 , Pakistan started the Kashmir insurgency with US Aid Pakistan was richer than us in 1989. A Paki minister even flew down told FM IK Gujral that they have the bomb and will use it if we did not hand over Kashmi...

Aditya_V

That's good news bit I hope IAF gets Astra 2, Astra 3 inducted without Pakis knowledge and Pakis get much worser surprise than Operation Sindoor

Aditya_V

Can this be K-5 and Dhivina Test- 2 tests? Jingo Maange more.

Aditya_V

Deans-> Both SIdes now use FPV, Geran Drones, Iskander's, etc but lesser use of Artillery, Kalibers, Smerch. Has Russia and Ukraine run out of Artillery and Tanks or is it being built up for a Major offensive?

Aditya_V

[ We should lobby in DC that AMARAAM C8/D3 can be shown to China, given TSP virtually lives off Chinese support. Also, TSP won't be able to get Bagram air base for US in Afghanistan as that will be a big redline for China. It will be interesting to see how this situation evolves. The US would have ...

Aditya_V

Also please note that US has included Pakistan in the Amraam C8/D3 Contract, so we need to start production and induction of Astra Mk2, Astra Mk3 along with other countermeasures otherwise this will bite us in 2028-30 timeframe.

Aditya_V

This good news, IAF should also use these to take out Drones, PGM's etc from hitting High value Targets in addition to SAM's, Manpads etc.

My wish list is that we convert some of the GSH 30mm Mig 27 cannons to be ground Vehicle Mounted and unleash them on the LOC/ IB

Aditya_V

The Russians initially had only 180K troops for the SMO, it was supposed to scare Ukraine and West that they were serious, Quite Naive and foolish. The West made Ukraine do some Bad faith negotiations and they Ukraine Mobilised 640K troops with almost all of Nato Artillery guns, AEW , Satellite Inte...

Aditya_V

I think it was good decision to quit while we were ahead, we are not yet powerful enough to take on the world and get the necessary solutions for Pakistan. But Notice, Not one person is asking for Elephant walk of PAF assets 1. F-16 2. J10C 3 JF 17 4 Saab 2000 AEW 5 C-130 H Whereas the desperation o...

Aditya_V

OK good explanation but I hope we start using them, I am sure they can be fitted with thermal cameras, could help in a better ratio .

Aditya_V

What about trainers, should they be a seperate division.

Aditya_V

You don't announce and develop it, you develop it and announce. That's how it works.

This was what was followed with our Nukes, Missiles or anything which is this strategically important.

Aditya_V

Can we ignore such news till a Tejas MK2 Prototype flies, everything else is Maya.

Aditya_V

The Americans know the Pakis far better than us, they know exactly what they are doing. Us warning- not warning them makes no difference. There plans for the world and what we see how the world should be are a bit different.

Aditya_V

There is something happening behind the scenes, no way with GE F404 poor delivery we are staking another 97 Aircraft to be tied to that Engine. We are stupid but not that stupid.
