    India's ASTRA BVRAAM Successfully Testfired From IAF Flanker

    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.

    India's ASTRA BVRAAM Successfully Testfired From IAF Flanker

    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 :

    Agni V canister and mobile launch vehicle TCT 5 tested successfully

    Yeah. A successful test of Nirbhay out to it's maximum range of 1,000-1,200km would be the icing on the cake.

    Agni V canister and mobile launch vehicle TCT 5 tested successfully

    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...

    India's ASTRA BVRAAM Successfully Testfired From IAF Flanker

    Smokeless propulsion can be quite a good feature to have in shoot-and-scoot situations.

    INS Kolkata, navy’s most powerful warship, to be delivered next month

    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 :-

    I think it may even be Cashmere. CCNS finally kickstarts Indian Navy’s Project 17A

    INS Kolkata, navy’s most powerful warship, to be delivered next month

    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...

    Assam Violence : Thousands flee fearing more attacks

    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...

    PDV VS Arrow 2

    Something makes be think the "PDV" tested few days back isn't really the final avatar of the system.

    INS Kolkata, navy’s most powerful warship, to be delivered next month

    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 &...

    INS Kolkata, navy’s most powerful warship, to be delivered next month

    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...
