6 squadrons with 750 missiles were ordered in 2014 for 4279 crores.
Tata Power had an order of 182 crore for 16 launchers in 2009.
Either cost of missile has come down drastically or IAF has ordered something interesting.

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
The previous orders included the whole system (radars, vehicles etc) this one probably doesn’t include some of those items?
Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
It is possible IAF is just ordering missiles Akash 1S, 250 missiles to cover for stocks some of which have been test fired in exercises etc.
Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
Akash missile cost is Rs 2 Cr per missile.
Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
Is there any official source for the cost per missile figure apart from news article?
Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
No, but there were news reports earlier which also gave the cost of missile at Rs 2 Cr.

Extended Version Of Cruise Missile BrahMos Test Fired Off Odisha Coast
An extended range version of cruise missile BrahMos was successfully test fired off Odisha coast at 10:15 AM today.
The missile, which has a target range of over 400 kilometre, was test fired from Chandipur Integrated Test Range (ITR) launch pad-5 in Balasore. The test was a partial success.
Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
Err, Partial Sucess- happens
Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
Details? The current one does nearly 500-600km on hhh profile. The range is way understated.

It also shows we are not brushing failures under the carpet, also when they might be experimenting with some new modes, none of these things are done in fully imported systems. They are also tested rarely like, crystal maze, Harpoon or, Uran, Club all in our inventory.kit wrote:not a big dealdinesha wrote:BrahMos missile fails during testfiring, falls shortly after takeoff

In the First Gulf War, of the 297 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired, 9 failed to clear the launch tube, 6 fell in water in the near vicinity and as many as 6 were shot down. A launch fail rate of 5%.dinesha wrote:BrahMos missile fails during testfiring, falls shortly after takeoff

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
Is there any video of the launch? Was it really Brahmos that was tested??
Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
This is new enhancement so it will go thru more testing than user testing of existing weapon. I can’t speak for crystal maze but Harpoon, Uran and Klub all went thru tests when they were procured.Aditya_V wrote:They are also tested rarely like, crystal maze, Harpoon or, Uran, Club all in our inventory.
Given the small number of them that were procured it is not like we can afford expedite all our test and live rounds in the tests either.
But however we do cover up in case when such tests fail and their failure don’t typically get much press mention.

A couple of short videos trying to explain SFDR.

Good video as always.
The only nitpick is that solid fuel doesn't burn back to front. It burns from inside to outside.

Majority of Indian defence youtube channels are run by irdw type fanbois. They'll claim 10 things, 3-4 prove to be correct later and they keep on pretending as people with contacts. Their viewers are just the argumentative fools you see on paki forums. They shouldn't be taken seriously.

Defence Decode guy seems to be knowledgeable but the background music he uses and the way he explains defence related technologies is a torture.The guy needs to loosen up/cheer up.
Alpha defence site does it in a more listener friendly and interesting way.

#JustIn India test fires Akash New Generation (Akash NG) surface-to-air #missile from a defence facility off #Odisha coast. Developed by @DRDO_India, the advanced variant of #Akash can strike targets 70 km away. It destroys an UAV simulated today.

Bloody hell! The minimum range of our MANPATGM looks like 100m or less.
Javelin's min is 65m & Spike's is 200m

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
Does the Akash-NG have the same propulsion as the MRSAM-Barak8 or is it different? Would make sense to have common parts with the MRSAM, at least for the parts that have been developed by DRDO. The seeker and other parts that are supplied by Israel would have to be indigenized.
Also, which tracking and fire control radars are used for the Akash-NG? I am assumiing that they are different from the CAR and Rajendra PESA combo.

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
Yeah, Spikes and even Javelins have more chances of seeing Indian service than any local stuff like NAG MPATGM. Reminds me of the bullshit army tried with Akash. Make launch vehicle out of tank chassis, put radar on tracked vehicle and so on to delay approval and induction in anyway possible. Then when Roosi products couldn't work either in trials, tenders or battle, got the same local stuff on the originally offered truck.

Don't know about radar but the propulsion is dual-pulse solid rocket. Same pedigree as MRSAM. That's why the range is similar too.mody wrote:Does the Akash-NG have the same propulsion as the MRSAM-Barak8 or is it different?

Re: Indian Missiles News & Discussions - 17 Dec 2018
This form 2009
They had DRDO put Akash on BMP, T-72 and who knows what else.The DRDO’s Chief Controller for R&D, Dr Prahlada, has confirmed that the army is displaying fresh interest in the Akash. Asked for details, Dr Prahlada told Business Standard, “I cannot say whether the army is interested in the Akash for its strike corps, or for another role. In any case, the Akash is a mobile system that is suitable for various roles.”
But protecting fast-moving tank columns from enemy fighters is what the Akash does best. For years the DRDO laboured to fit the entire Akash system --- including radars, missile launchers and command centres --- into T-72 tanks. This provided the Akash with the cross-country mobility to advance deep into enemy territory along with Indian Army strike corps, shooting down enemy fighters at ranges as far out as 25 kilometers.

The Army likes to use DRDO for the occasional fling. But Natasha is their true love.
