NASR is a Smerch type rocket system
300-mm Multiple Launch Rocket System 9K58 "Smerch"

@ fatman
wouldn't a 60 km range be very very small...hell it is almost within artillery range!! & this MLRS system can be easily be neutralized by indian Ballistic missile defence???
Also, is it possible for India to locate this system with fire finding radars ?
When locating enemy artillery, the radar tracks the up-going trajectory of shells, calculates their points of origin and impact and, with other information, displays it to the radar operator(s).
No because we dont have WLRs of that range nor do I think Ballistic missile launchers can be detected. Because all WLRs are mentioned only for artillery and Rocket fire. I maybe wrong though.
Also, is it possible for India to locate this system with fire finding radars ?
Foxhound, i understand your frustration. Now stick to topic please.
Did you see that it was guided and changed trajectory extremely rapidly besides being mobile and extremely short reaction time (speed/range)? It is not a artillery shell Markus. What is next? We paint a bulls eye on the launcher?
Since Nasr is tube fired, I think Indian Greenpine will have some business for them.
I dont understand how ?
As said these WLR's can only predict the point of Launch by following the trajectory of Shells/Rockets/Mortars.
BTW Swordfish is useful only for Ballistic missiles which re-enterAtmosphere after travelling though space and this missile they say does not do that. !
Pakistan’s Nuclear tipped Hatf-IX sends India’s ‘Cold Start’ exercises scrambling for cover
Posted on 20 April 2011.
Yeah may be.
I am not sure, I am just checking if any our existing systems can be used against it.
Cold Start was non-starter from day 1 and NASR is the last nail in what was left of Cold Sart. Cold Start was nothing but 70 year old Blitzkrieg strategy but in the times of nukes and missiles. It never made any sense. The message is clear from Pakistan that any conventional thrust by India will cross the nuclear threshold. If they want to play Chicken with that they are welcome.
Foxhound and all the other Indians on this forum can post all their wet dreams about Cold Start but thier own Generals know its not worth the paper its written on. Infact the posts by Foxhound above is a clear sign of frustration by Indians. They spend Billions of dollars importing Russians tanks to create their strike Corps and one missile test by Pakistan of battlefield nuke spoils the party. Pathetic!
What a funny article. Does the author know that by nuclear tipping the missile (how-ever Short range it might be or whatever terminology they put on it like Battle field nukes) they invite Indian second strike that will be dis-proportionate ?
lolzz.......the very mention of cold start sends down the shivers in somebody's spine.
Nobody wants to consider the fact that Indian govt has itself stated that no such thing as cold start exists with the Indian miliatry.
Why keep harping abt something when it does not exist at all?
