Finally the thread is coming back to the topic I was hoping for. My intention was to discuss rationally the implications of this move and its impact o future relations. I believe that it has impact on current situation. Weaning away the Hizbullah from the TSP is a consequence of the war by other mea...

Sanjay, the guy quotes you. I wonder if it was the report in Indian Express that he saw and went for confirmation.

As LNS says the Litening maybe for other uses as well. From Rupak's article in the BRM the chosen pod is the Litening. I guess they will be available at a certain rate per squadron but all aircraft will be upgraded so they can use them. Gives flexibility.From what I read the Kaira- 27 is the desi...

After some digging in Janes old copies here is what I came up with. The Mig-27 has an integral laser designator called Kaira-27. It is used to guide a KABL-500. This puppy has tail fins unlike the Paveway 2 which has controls on forward fins. In all purposes it is similar to Paveway 1 & 2 level ...

Shiva, Am glad you see the point. I hope more members understand the importance of this aspect of the role of PGMs. My thinking is if there is local pressure than the main ingredient of the TSP logic is removed- threat of survival or existence. They are self defeated. Folks Rupak's article says c...

Jagan there are a bunch of planes at the Palam IAF museum. You really should have the Delhi members go and shoot a roll for you. I saw Gnats, HF-24 and WWII era planes and a 4000lb dumb bomb casing.

No shiva. What I am saying is that the use of PGMs on civilian infrastructure in Kosovo built up pressure on Yugoslav govt. After the May 98 tests it is very difficult to have a direct war with the TSP lest it escalates due to certain defeat for RATS. I am suggesting that PGMs used in Kosovo mod...

There are two aspects to the question area targets and point targets. Area targets accuracy is based on the a/c navigational and guidance systems being tied to the weapon release system and how accurate are those. The later is based on avialablity of the precision targeting systems- laser designator...

Quincy, Rikhye can publish his work as an e-novel on BR if the Webmasters agree. Please invite him to the forum. It is interesting what he is working on. There are parallel efforts on that theme especially after the May '98 events. Will contact Rupak to see if we can serialize it on BRM.

A point to consider from a`strategic balance aspect. If the POK-2 is reputed to be low yield then more of them are needed to deter challengers. This would drive the arms race in an upward spiral.
