Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 30 June 2022
Is that all the PRC will ever do? They may do more, but if we don't deter the here and now, then whatever they may do in future will be more difficult to defend against. Will they never reach a position where they want to force the issue in Arunachal Pradesh? They may or may not but they are laying...

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 30 June 2022
The huge numbers of long range missiles are to insure that we can credibly threaten the PRC will serious industrial harm. That is the only way to insure that we can deter PRC from coming after our civillian and industrial base, during a war. If our efforts fail, we still have a non nuclear option t...

Pratyush Saar, Pinaka may be produced at 5000 per year, but there will be a limit when we say no more. Are you sure you are not conflating production with production capacity? The point I was trying to make is that all this talk of increasing production and higher inventory etc, is meaningless witho...

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 30 June 2022
Can we absorb 100000 Nirbhay and 30000 Pinakas? Will we need more personnel, i.e. new raisings to ensure that this inventory is ready for wartime use? If not Will we need to spend money on our weapon storage capability? We may produce all these numbers but what are our constraints in utilising these?

System malfunction could be for any number of reasons - production quality / end-of-life / SOPs not being followed.

Nice as it sounds but how big will these have to be with payload in question?
Where r you going to put it on an ASW asset like a corvette or frigate?
And how will you also fit an organic SAR helo on the same ship?
I presume you have seen the helo hangar of the IN frigates?
