Hmmm interesting

Edit:- Dr. Saraswat's view

“I would say the Shaurya is a hybrid propulsion missile”, says Dr Saraswat. “Like a ballistic missile, it is powered by solid fuel. And, like a cruise missile, it can guide itself right up to the target.”

From DRDO website this Interview of Dr. Prahlada, Chief Controller R&D (SI) and DS Interview (The Week Feb. 17, 2008) You didn't get me I was not asking about the probability part but this it can even take on sub-sonic cruise missiles AFAIK we don't have land based capability to engage cruise m...

Regarding Akash something caught my eye in the posted link

With an 88% "kill probability'', it can even take on sub-sonic cruise missiles.

Is this true or is it good old DDM ????

Anyone attending the expo please get some info about our advancement in materials technology in the aeroengine arena specifically about the single crystal blade and the blisk tech. and also get the specs of Kaveri too.

Sagar G

IMHO (of course), FGFA/NGFA should be just good enough for Paki planners to give up hope. End of game. I think saar that unkil or their taller than mountains deeper than ocean friend will find some way to negate this edge of ours. More than the latter the former will definitely make sure that this ...

[Sarcasm] Yes we all know how MDL,GRSE build vessels on time and on budget. There is reason why we have to turn to foreign SYs for our vessels take a look Shivalik it has been in construction for close to 10 years and cost swollen to close to 600 million each. In other hand Yantar which started con...

And when Brahmos or any other missile in IN inventory goes hypersonic then what ???

D Roy wrote: Its vulnerability probably comes from the IR signature which is typically higher for a supersonic system.

At present is there any weapon system which can counter a supersonic missile ???

Sagar G

^^^ Range 5000km+ maybe that's why

Sagar G

CM, how is it different from say, the siva pod ? I think the Spectra/khbiny allows for tracking and engaging A2A targets as well. The SIVA iirc, is primarily to guide A2G munitions like the KH-31. Also, the spectra is internal and the Khbiny might be wingtip mounted (not sure) unlike the SIVA. CM. ...

Development of 1500HP engine

Got this from wikipedia had read it there long time back, don't know whether the project is still going on.

If the Germans provide us with a piece of shit (for the lack of better word) MTU, why not tie up with TATA?? I mean afterall they OWN Jaguar/Land Rover and we all know LR has built many military vehicles/trucks. Their current Range Rover HSE model (USA) has 500 or 550 ponies, I'm sure with a year o...

During the course of flight the Missile reached a peak height of 350 kms

Hmmmm so is the A3 going to be tweaked into an A-SAT weapon ???

Sagar G

The article above mentioned that it would be without a radar at IOC. Another Jag or 27 the IAF needs not !!! :(( Why cant they mate the radar before IOC? ADA is not working day and night to give IAF another "Jag or 27" so don't worry about that. The LCA will have a radar in it and that to...

multiple problems.. any chiwaalas with biskoot news on these? Saar just a few post above your's says something totally different The engine had performed exceedingly well in high-altitude tests in Russia, Dr. Saraswat said. “We want to use the Kaveri engine for the advanced medium combat aircraft. ...

Sagar G

The IAF seems t be very serious about a 100% Indian NGFA even if it wouldn't be a pure 5th gen a/c. It wants a pure 5th gen aircraft As per official documentation by the IAF, it wants the MCA to be a twin-pilot configured multirole stealth aircraft capable of "close air support, all weather in...

Sagar G

The positive point that I find from the article is that IAF is pushing DRDO to deliver what it wants and is not ready to make any compromise on that, this will have a very positive impact on Indian R&D.

Sagar G

Is the DRDO developing any active defensive system for Arjun Mk.2 like the Active Arena Countermeasures System

I hope the engine parameters are also released soon.

Moderators must not be barred from posting in any thread, I think this forum lacks an Unjoin button (I haven't been able to locate it if it is already there then read on). People having issues with any mod for whatever reason it may be, either they settle those "issues" on a personal level...

saar ji, most of the time these decisions are taken after much thought. if they have made it public it means they must have a good reason for it. if it is otherwise we will soon hear news of heads rolling due to this leak. it is not possible neither acceptable for us to pass judgement on those deci...

Sagar G

the decision to go public or not is taken at MOD/PMO level rather than DRDO. don't shoot the messenger. But saar the messenger here is the Scientific Adviser to Defence Minister so he could have advised atleast MoD (if not PMO) to refrain from going public about such sensitive under development tec...

A brightspark from the MoD then offered a solution -- since the rotors of the N-ALH cant fold all the way, why doesnt the navy cut holes on the sides of its ship hangars to accomodate the rotors.

I believe everyone does this, but only dharmically minded Indians experience a mild sense of untruth to find ourselves doing that. Absolutely true saar, everyone does this so we should not be ashamed of doing it. Once I also belonged to this "dharmic group" but as soon as I came to know a...

Sagar G

collaborating in secret and then claiming that what we came up with is an authentic Indian design.

Like we did in...... ?????

Sagar G

So what benefit does the Russian help provide?

Safety I guess. We are designing a manned spacecraft for the first time and it will be only wise to take the consultation of an established player in the field who would be by our side to tell Hey buddy u are going wrong there

Sagar G

french for the moment IIRC, work on desi seeker is on-going. check the aero India thread in archives. Found about it in the aero india thread but it doesn't mention about the country of origin.

To all Gurus here, please answer this trainee's nadaan question too

The nag missile's seeker is an indigenous one or of foreign origin

Sagar G

I always thought who this guy was never knew that this is the way I will come to know him

RIP B Harry

The nag missile's seeker is an indigenous one or of foreign origin

Have read conflicting reports regarding it hence asking this question.

If there is a God who cares about India - please show yourself now Please get the 155mm flowing to our units :(( and let those guns be of the self-propelled kind and let there be several thousand of them (we can buy 10 of them for the price of one Su30) and let half of them be of the ultra-light ki...

Sagar G

pylons and weapon systems can be made stealthy too.

Are these operational in any AF's around the world or still under experimentation

Sagar G

I thought u missed the including part.

Sagar G

16 hard points when stealth is not quite so important , that is quite something.

PAK FA is a fifth generation stealth oriented plane or did I miss something

How much of a threat is this going to be for Indian Navy

Sagar G

I have 1 question for starters,,,
Why is our weapons program so transparent??i.e., why the GOI doesnt build our defence forces in a secretive manner the way Chinese does..

Simple, because we are a democracy.

Yippee my first post
