Re: Terrorist Islamic Republic of Pakistan (TSP): Dec. 28, 2

I think this incident marks an important milestone vis-a-vis Pakiland. The "public sentiment" has started interfering with the routine kaam-dhaam of the Foreign Service afsars over there. Arresting a "diplomat", that too an American would have been 101% haraam even 2 years ago. B...

i only referred to u to say that u are correct :cry:
speed of sound is obviously varies with density but if mach is not fixed for calculating mach numbers, does that means when we say the speed of an aircraft is mach2.2 at an altitude of 15km we are correcting the value of 1mach for that altitude?

akutcher no one is expecting an intercept 500km away !!!!! Relax man. Paki BM's will be in boost phase even 200km's from the tracking radar in rajasthan. Thats why I said its possible to intercept Paki BM's at boost phase. Anything wrong with that :?: Gawd .... you made a mountain of a molehill. i ...

heard of the word density??
thats why i mentioned "(in air)" which means the speed is calculated at STP(25'C and 100Kpa)
irrelevant of what the density is at 50km altitude Mach numbers are given by assuming a fixed velocity which is 330m/sec

In case the gurus havent caught this already, pause at 41 sec and it shows some very interesting specs for prithvi based AXO
from that low-res video it looks like the burn-time is 108.5 sec while the time to flight is 125 sec
