I am bit confused with all the Brahmos related news.
How many missiles MKI is supposed to carry after upgrade ??? And which version. Are Air launched and mini same or different ???
@sancho : those birds will go to IA some day.
Today's requirement is 3 Sqd. Correct. Mostly replacement.
What about new Strick corps ??? Wont extra 2/3 go there ???
And I will believe LCH when I hear anything about FOC. Its been years since any one of us knew what happened with latest prototype...
There are many reports stating RC was in international Air space.
But can you explain what the hell it run ??? And run in so much hurry that it had to violate another nation's airspace !!!
Just curious ...
You know that all the birds will eventully end up under IA flag right ???
GOI has agreed to it in principle. Its only matter of time.
AFAIK its the best platform. We can use it in tandom with our own home grown platforms.
Indian doesn't have any CM with that range thats why.
Then do tell me what is the purpose of that missile in Russian Navy if you know.
AFAIK N-tips were supposed to be carrier killers.
@Gessler : BTW no offence M just asking. I dont know hoot about it.
SSN Akula Class (Bars Type 971) Nuclear Submarine - Naval Technology
Yes i am not arguing on that. All I am saying whats Non N-tip missile in OP.
In theory we can fire a CM from SSN with any war head.
See the above post too
I dont think IA has anything to do with Arty condition. They are shouting from roofs since 99. But no GOI brave the Bofors ghost and OFB was sitting on TOT till last few years trying to hatch them
I doubt Modi can design a MBRL Rocket but he surely can fast track a purchase.
And may be...
I am not saying we can't. I am saying NOT in time. IA arty is already in bad shape.
No new Arty gun since 80s n now out of stock of long range MBRL rockets.Doesn't sound good.
What I wrote is from 2012. No new news after that.
IA's arty is becoming weak. We cant wait for it too long. We will have to purchase Rockets or Arty if not both. I will vote for rockets but may be from another source if Russia is becoming noncooperative.
To produce locally for IA.
We still...
Pinaka MK-2 is 55-60 km range and in testing phase
120 km range MBRL is still in design phase.
M777 is likely to be replaced with another light gun not certainly by Dhanush.
The order of Dhanush was long due and will increase but still lighter arty will be needed.
