i don't think you've cracked this particular problem my friend... the gusts will move the bomb from its trajectory. and btw - lift and drag properties are non-linear, so effects at altitude are very different... jeez i don't have the energy to persevere with this... 8) in any case whether target is...

some questions to ponder: how well do lasers reflect off rocks? how heavy is a laser designator? what about its batteries? What about recharging? How heavy is that? how much can a man carry above 15000 ft? what about radio comms? with whom? how does it integrate to the aircraft? what is the sensor ...

It is based on some sources which I cannot indicate so discard that. But you can derive the same from - statements about increased funding as the forces request more precision weapons- compare it with richer countries like UK, France who still have to carefully fund this. (outside of US and Israel ...

jager It is there but one of the biggest factors India has to deal with is cost. LGBs are expensive. Designators are expensive. We cannot use it like the Us on every tent , fox hole. Precision weapons have to be carefully employed. Cost!!! since when was it a consideration for a country on war (as ...

don't forget you have to carry this up the mountain on some poor buggers back, so i am going for option 3 as the most cost/effective I was talking about air bombardment ,talking of anti material rifles how would one acquire target from below the mountain range ?yup Daisy cutter would have caused a ...

psnegi - problem 1: at 18,000ft there are completely different air densities, temperatures and winds which will impact the flight characteristics of weapons - most weapons will not have been designed to "fly" at these altitudes and therefore their ranging and aiming algorithms and softwar...

Right. So one would need to think very carefully about where to use the weapon - the ridge at Tololing, may have been a good place! the ridge is, if you read the above, really NOT a good place to dump napalm. it will most likely miss and plunge several 1000 feet off to one side and burn harmlessly ...

There is no doubt that love for the Nation cannot be equated in financial terms. But to live like on fresh air is indeed difficult. I agree that many still can do so because the love of their nation is very overpowering. However, the days of the Maharajas joining the Army is over it appears. I woul...

One can understand what you would like the Army to be. However, the social and environmental factors that envelops the workplace in the army cannot be lost sight of. Economic well being while in service and when retired, respect and honour by their countrymen empowers integrity and moral courage. W...

Contrary to most of Indian PSU's ISRO is the one that has always been a example of Pride and self reliance in India's quest of becoming a global leader.The GSLV crash incident shouldnt affect the morale of the scientists and general public per se.Even US and RUSSIA world's leading space powers have ...

normally, what would be the design of strap-ons, would they be derated or doubled up, just in case one fails, automatically shut/released and symmetrically opposite strap on could have shut down/released to equalize.. of course this can happen only if only 4 straps are required, and we go ahead add...
