Quick is relative. Is Barak quick enough? Tunguska? Kastan?
All of them are command guided and in indian service.

We do not have a indegenous TVM module ready for use in Trishul so retransmission homming hybrid is another pie in the sky.

Picklu

Agreed Negi, that is why the question, can trishul missile be changed from beam riding to CLOS using the proven CLOS modules from akash and cheaply cover the short end of the AD spectrum? Won't that be quicker and more cost effective than developing something from scratch or using expensive spyder e...

NG is not shorad, trishul was/is and hence no comparison with NG

Barak is command guided.

How difficult it is to port the command guidence modules from akash to trishul missile and then to integrate it with Raj? IFAIK Barak is also command guided, so command guided shorad is possible, deployed and proven. The benefit will be reduction of multitude of system specific sensors and having th...

from my limited understanding that is correct (*) since drag is also a function of air density, which changes with altitude. it is also proportional to square of velocity as I wrote above. (*) except that it should probably read either "thrust to weight ratio" or "lift to drag ratio&...

Picklu

Vacuum has no drag. Ion thrusters have very high specific impulse but very very very low thrust. They can only be used in vacuum or similar conditions not from ground. I think Shiv used the above just as an analogy. The main point is thrust to wight ratio is used to determine the acceleration or cl...

Picklu

shiv ji, those are all related parameters related to the aircraft's energy. it can trade speed for height and vice versa and all of that comes from the engine thrust. in level flight with no acceleration, the thrust has to negate the drag in order for the a/c to move. I do accept that but unless yo...

Well, I do not have that post and hence can not verify that anyway unless Jagan himself confirms. However, one pointer is that LCA went supersonic in its 33rd test flight as per the news article quoted above. IIRC, the afterburner was not used for quite some time during the initial phase of the test...

Picklu

are you sure you are not confusing with the HF-24 with the afterburning engine ? Sorry, did not get your question. Marut did not have an afterburner and still could go supersonic but only during diving. It never came out in official news media that LCA can supercruise. However a news article came o...

Picklu

to my knowledge at the moment for all practical purposes(read: with external stores) only the F-22 and EF can supercruise, PAKFA is expected to have this capability. the su-35 and the gripen has bragging rights supercruise ability i.e supercruise in clean configuration. so all in all, for a 4/4.5 g...

BTW there's no point in trying to convert an exposed enemy agent. His handlers know he has been exposed and wont accept him back, therefore no point in being lenient in punishing this traitor. On the contrary govt should make an example out of him. This would serve as an example to all jholawallas,...

Picklu

Agreed to quite an extent. But if it is one of the latter reasons - that being we are unfortunate enough to not have the capabilities to do an search + rescue operation - then we should not hesitate. I remember we faced the aftermath of Tsunami to quite a good extent. I want to believe our country ...

Changing gear in start stop condition is tiring beyond a point. In India, any driving is generally for a longer duration than massaland for similar distance. Also, in India, most of the cars do not have a smooth BMW type stick, rather a rusted /@%^&#@/ danda and you have to fight it with your le...

Without going into all the arguments about proactive strategy and not part of country theories, the basic point is that the outcome of war is never solely dependent on how many soldiers died in the campaign.

Picklu, No comment but just a question, if we do that, how do you propose we show it? Depends on how we do it. But 'show' we have to, otherwise it will not be 'credible'.

We will show how PADE can hit Brahmos in our next test. Do we have the long range detection capability to cover our western border (land and sea) against 'dancer's? If true, that will have even more strategic implication than the current ABM test. However all open source evidance point to radar gap...

AFAIK, it takes a half day preparation for loading the liquid fuel. Once loaded the fuel can stay for a few month before draining out but such loading/draining can be done only for a limited no for a particular missile. Also the no of supporting vehicle for the liquid fuel missile is huge comprimisi...
