People here started with numbers like 220- for bjp. After 3rd phase , there are reports that bjp can reach majority on its own. What kind of analysis is this to say 220/240 then? Just that they are giving beautiful terms like 'Optimism' for their own dilemma. They are hiding behind such fanciful ter...

Same job can be done with older gen ATGMs which we have in plenty. Spike is a massive overkill for stationery sangars and even most reinforced enemy posts which can be targeted from across border. Both types missiles need Line Of Sight anyway. So it's not that Spike can hit targets behind a hill. O...

Is the S400 going to be customized with Indian radars? Is there any contribution by DRDO into the deployed systems such as seeker heads etc.? Will the IFF be customized to India?

No, I’m sorry, you’ve misunderstood me, then. I am familiar with directional warheads, and understand these are designed for missile interceptions at oblique angles; where the entire “directional warhead” explodes at the same time, sending a cloud of projectiles towards the target (one shot, one ki...

kanson, The Astra has a directional warhead and these very pages have cross section pictures of that. Ramana hi...very much..just tells how much guidance & missile tech improved. Astra speed is given as 1.2 to 1.4 mach. DW can make a barely supersonic missile into high supersonic or hypersonic ...

From tech perspective; does it matter night or day time for missile defence ? Let me ask a question. You burst crackers& diwali rockets during night or daytime? What is the difference? If i can borrow 'Sidhu-ism', night test is like wearing bikini, in the name of concealing, you end up revealin...

Kanson

This gives me an idea. Rather than having a missile-versus-missile seeking a kinetic intercept of the target missile head-on; how about an anti-missile missile that engages the target missile in a tail-chase mode; except that instead of intercepting kinetically/explosively, the chasing missile fire...

Saying its "designed" for 12000hrs is also not correct. With the same matrix, F16 must be designed for 16000hrs or Gripen must be designed for 24000hrs. LCA is designed for 3000h, F16 is designed for 8000hrs and so on. That's correct way of saying it. Because these numbers are relevant as...

BK messed up with the Life numbers of LCA it seems. As of now LCA's certified life is 1000hrs as per CAG report. At least to my knowledge full airframe fatigue life testing is still pending for it to be certified for its full design life of 3000hrs. That 12000hrs he quote is not the certified life....

Kanson

I think the definite range of Nirbhay in its current-turbofan-powered form is about 1100 kms and its speed is about 0.8M. This was established in its second test flight, when it was let to fly for as long as possible after all the test objectives were met. With optimizations, I bet the range can re...

Good that we know the demand forecast of the Nag type missile at 2000 initially and then 8000 eventually. A production run of 500/year is great. For that means total 8000/500 run for 16 years.
