I talked about "comparable missiles in the area". About the particulars, I compared with Russian R-77 and Chinese SD-10.
Surely you can be more broadminded than that.
Propulsion is neat & smokeless, similar to the latest versions of AMRAAM. Unlike some of the other comparable
missiles around, which are relatively "smoky" :
R-77 Adder
SD-10 aka PL-12 :
This month has been amazing for Indian military sphere (and hopefully political sphere as well, by May 16). So many
good things happening.
On topic, launching such a large & heavy BM from an enclosed canister is no mean feat. We did build
canisters for BrahMos cruise missiles & Shaurya BM in...
I guess the RAN-40L could be installed.
But yeah, definitely there will be a new radar eventually. The present Signaal model
is just an interim solution. As even Shivalik FFG has better secondary
radars than that :-
That was just part of the argument. Probably because we know very little about the workings of MF-STAR & B-8.
Secondly I also mentioned the guidance part.
This proves nothing. By this measure the old S-300 from 1970s is more capable than Aster, but that's not the case.
If Aster does not have...
Fresh reports say toll maybe touching 50.
This, added to the fact that India's to-be-PM Narendra Modi's comments few weeks ago warning
illegal immigrants to "pack their bags", seems to have inflicted fear & insecurity to the Bangladesh-origin
Muslim immigrants in the area.
I think the majority...
For the interim, yes. But I don't think that equation will hold after Kolk receives the Barak-VIII. Notwithstanding the
aspect the quad-array MF-STAR AESA is more latest & most probably more capable than the SAMPSON radar.
What makes Aster-15/30 better than Barak-8 ?
Barak is newer &...
IN's doctrine does not include using ship-launched land-attack missiles of long-range type. All the cruise
missiles to be carried will be 300km BrahMos only, it can attack both ships and land targets within that range.
That's all that's needed.
If we needed otherwise, we would certainly build a...
