DRDO to test-fire three missiles from today

hmm....4 times saying same means weightage is more.

but it is different from hypersonic engine missiles india will test like brahos 2 and other.

Don't know how did that happen,may be a technical fault or something else.

Well,there is basic different between Shaurya and Brahmos 2.Where as Shaurya is primarily a land attack missile and uses its high altitude to gain its terminal hypersonic velocity of mach8-10 by a steep dive the Brahmos 2 will use its scramjet engine to gain mach 6 speed.But that does not make Shaurya a ballistic missile.

Atleast in my english,a missile with velocity of mach 8-10 is hypersonic.Now why the Shaurya more resembles a cruise missile than a ballistic missile-I have already posted.You may take a look if you want.
REGARDS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Everything(missiles) is hypersonic in terminal velocity.
 
With Shourya Trials undergoing, i somehow find Brahmos-II useless.. We wanted a hypersonic missile, we got it with unlimited range..
Why waste efforts to develop a 290 Km. range Hypersonic missile..

But not all the way it is hypersonic, only terminal velocity.
 
we are talking about cruise missiles as shaurya is not a ballistic missile.

There is no point trying to convince so stubborn people here.Two of India's most reliable defence journos and even DRDO officials have stated the same we two were talking.Still if some one can't get the facts right that's not your fault.
REGARDS. . . .

Sea skiming

sea skimming
See also: Nap-of-the-earth

Sea skimming is a technique many anti-ship missiles use to avoid radar and infrared detection during their approach.
HideMethod

Sea skimming anti-ship missiles try to fly as low as is practically achievable, which is almost always below 50 meters (150 ft), and is often down towards 5 meters (15 ft).

Nap of the earth
(my abbreviation NAPEARTH means travelling of planes missiles etc. near to sea or land area)

Nap-of-the-earth (abbreviated NOE) is a type of very low-altitude flight course used by military aircraft to avoid enemy detection and attack in a high-threat environment.[1]

During NOE flight, geographical features are used as cover, exploiting valleys and folds in the terrain by flying in, rather than over, them. This keeps below enemy radar coverage, avoiding "skylining". Other terms are also used, including "ground-hugging", "terrain masking", or "flying under the radar".


Cruise Missile


cruise missile noun


a large weapon with a warhead that flies close to the ground and is guided by its own computer to an exact place

(Advance Oxford dictinary)

A cruise missile is a guided missile that carries an explosive payload and is propelled, usually by a jet engine, towards a land-based or sea-based target. Cruise missiles are designed to deliver a large warhead over long distances with high accuracy. Modern cruise missiles can travel at supersonic or high subsonic speeds, are self-navigating, and can fly on a non-ballistic, extremely low altitude trajectory.

Okay 1 test succesfull!!

Tomorrow any tests scheduled??

Which missile will be tested next??
I wish it would be PDV!!
 
With Shourya Trials undergoing, i somehow find Brahmos-II useless.. We wanted a hypersonic missile, we got it with unlimited range..
Why waste efforts to develop a 290 Km. range Hypersonic missile..

Can u hang the Shaurya under an aircraft as air launched version? NO ( with 6 ton)
 
Only here I heard that it is hypersonic, if true...indeed a good news and first of its kind in the world.

its indeed an hypersonic...

why would you do that? .... this is a surface to surface missile...

Actually Jha was saying we don't need Brahmos 2 now because we have Shaurya now.
I was telling him that Shaurya cant be hung below Su30 Mki like Brahmos

Brahmos is mainly for Navy as a ship killer missile


Shourya cant act same as Brahmos so Brahmos 2 make lot of sense
