What's new

Astra test-fired successfully against simulated target

That,s just your assumption to feel great about your missile.Almost all modern fighter jets travel faster than mach 2.0 these days and every flying object faster than 1.4 mach will humiliate this missile.


The speed of the missile is Mach 4+.

You should read more about BVR's
it's second in its class and lags behind only Meteor

Agreed.

Awesome :tup:

Certainly a crucial step forward for our defence industry

Well done boys :D :yahoo: it's a big deal !!!


Good to hear this....
Our media should be sensitized about the difference b/w a failure and postponement..

It is the living truth of Anti India media exist in our country :mad:

Great job done by our Indian members if PDF we dint loss our hope :yahoo:

The figures quoted above are totally off for MICA and AMRAAM.
MICA range remains classified but tests have been made against targets at 70 km. It can also sustain a 50+ G load factor.

I don't think that 27 g limit missille is sufficient enough to intercept modern day fighters,read some time back in (thinking its in key pub)that missile should be capable of performing 5 timse the g-limit of the aircraft it is going to encounter.
Its is the first test to check the g-level and other sub systems. Off course more tests will be done on more maneuvering targets...means more G-force

we should start a missile program for short range heat seeking/imaging type missiles. Compared to BVR short range air to air missile are having high probability to hit aerial targets .

Plenty is available for us in the market, no need to re invent the wheel as of now, I believe!

And it is now getting more and more complex day by day. New generationswill come by that time!

but better to have our own product, " a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

still believes that we should have our own variant of short range air to air missile. some thing similar to python-5.
