Improved LR-SAM BARAK to be tested by year-end from INS Kolkata

[samlove]

In a significant development, reports are emerging now that long-delayed test firing of Indo-Israeli LR-SAM from Indian Navy destroyer INS Kolkata will happen by the end of this year with Improved LR-SAM Interceptor missile which will have improved range of over 100km.

In our previous report, idrw.org had mentioned that DRDO has carried out some level of optimisation which now also comes with improved propellant for the missiles which has lead to improved interception range of over 90-100km in its present configuration.

The initial range of the missile was capped at 70km by the developmental team but with current improvements missile will have improved interception range and Israeli team independently are also working on Barak-8ER (extended range variant) with the addition of booster which effectively doubles the range capability of the Barak-8 interceptor to 150km.

Both ER or LR-SAM are compatible with IAI Elta ELM-2248 (MF-STAR) radar, BMC4I system and all the support systems, so new variant can be developed entirely in India with little help from Israel in future and will not require changes in existing LR-SAM System architecture.

India is currently integrating LR-SAM into the lead ship of Kolkata Class Indian Navy Destroyer ” INS Kolkata” and soon will also find its ways into ” INS Kochi” which is followup ship of Kolkata Class which already entered service last month.

This is an another Fu**er in Making. This will complement S 400 like anything. This is the best missile of its range in thw world. No other missile can match it. Once is is fire at any target, it is sure to hit. You fire this beast at target and the target is destroued.

It is very necessary to colobrate with israel to build robust BMD. We must colobrate with Israel to buld AD1 and AD2 which may intercept ICBM. This will make our skies safe. Once this is put is place, our enemy shall piss of us.

Whoa!!! Barak-8 is now a 100 km SAM. Good news.

Woahhhh!!! INS Kochi - The most badass war ship in Asia? Sam - 100 km , Bramos - 300 Km.

Now only if you can add Shaurya and Nirbhay to it.

Just think we'll have 14 AESA warships with Barak-8/8ER + Brahmos.

 

[jaiind]

we need to make this system as a land based mobile launcher.. more range than akash sam

Simply a nightmare of enemy. Let Maitri add to it with exceptional EW capability.

Ok, but what's its kill probability? If it's less than 98% then its a lemon!

 

[vsdave2302]

Motor is Indian so all credit goes to India for this exceptional performance. Barak 8 was a very good missile. With the addition of Indian special motor and actuator, it has become exceptional missile. and our Motor helped missile to to be more faster, More agile and now 45% more range is added to it. Simply nothing in this world can match its performance like brahmos. Brahmos can penetrate any air defense and hit the target. LR SAM can vertually intercept anything.

Great.Barak 8 has 100km range.Pakistan Navy is in trouble now.

When Indian scientist and engineers work in a competitive environment like in JVs they always do wonders... There are many example.
Hope Govt somehow make the DRDO more and more competition driven.

Great.Barak 8 has 100km range.Pakistan Navy is in trouble now.

There is no need to term it as a country specific weapon, and to do so reflects a return to the Pakistan-centric mindset of the previous few decades. India has and must continue to move beyond that way of thinking.

No....this weapon spells trouble for any hostile foolish enough to attack the vessel carrying a weapon like this.....

Now develop land based mrsam quickly. We need it .it would also help us in development of Akash 2. It would be pleasant to see Akash , Akash 2, barak mrsam , s400 working together to make our country virtually inpenetrable

add more and more ,dont give any air to breath to our enemies
