    Restricted Mobility of Indian missiles

    Maybe, but dont know what they doing there. Also 2 Over The Horizon-B radars are building, one for Karwar and other for Varsha. Nope, totally civilian. This is joint facility under ISRO,DAE and DRDO. But it looks like military one. This is from very reliable sources that most of the...

    Restricted Mobility of Indian missiles

    Not Karwar, thats for sure. But Indian Army and IAF (from missiles) already surrendered this role of nuclear strike back in 2007, and now SFC trying harder that IAF also surrender the role of nuclear strike by aircraft to SFC, thats why SFC these days doing lot of hue and cry to induct 40 SU-30...

    Restricted Mobility of Indian missiles

    I will not comment on this until "operational" TEL of A4 is displayed, which also meant to be canisterised. Obviously between 2000-2007. There are lot of tunnel works in bases like Karwar or in Varsha. That translate that these are for nuclear purposes? BTW, also in new nuclear R&D centers...

    Restricted Mobility of Indian missiles

    When SFC was raised? Then why we considering Army and AF assets which is meant for conventional warhead automatically become assets of SFC? The most of SFC bases are based in Ladakh and Arunachal Pradesh. All underground bunkers doesnt translate that it going to be nuclear. Yes I have. Because...

    Restricted Mobility of Indian missiles

    When the Prithvi was inducted in SFC? I dont know anything about this? And further if Shaurya is inducted as nuclear NLOS-BSM as replacement of A1 and A2, then why not SFC doing yearly or binary exercises with Shaurya for checking readiness? Then why we only see routine tests of A1,A2,A3 and A4...

    Restricted Mobility of Indian missiles

    This thread only start to make sense when we see TEL of A5 with canister. The TEL showed in Republic Day parades are not "operational" TELs in SFC. A1, A2 and A3 use rail launchers, not TEL. And hidden inside bunkers and underground all the time.

    India building its own massive missile test vessel

    The SSBN always protected by 1-2 SSN from enemy SSN. But now you bringing whole new dimension that also need protection from surface warships and AShM. For that it going to need a whole escort. Why any navy invest in a project which is cost prohibitive and similar work can be done with SSBN...

    More than 300 PAF Mirages & F-7s will be retired in future. A huge market indeed.

    Definitely CBG has a big threat from wolfpack of SSN, but SSK? No chance. Remind you, SSKs are best to work in shallow water near shores.
