Ah I see you are living your delusional best.
Still not acknowledging the russian seeker.
So astra was encountered a glitch after meeting the basic objective
What was the basic objective???.. taking off
Like the random firing of R-73 from LCA??
there goes another thread down the drain
went off as expected as it reached an electronically- simulated target in 15 seconds at an altitude of 12 km. It didn't function as per our expectation after that, he added.
What about DRDO's "small set of projects"? Running away? Don't wanna reply? lol
See the delusion??? Don't wanna acknowledge the thing in front of eyes!!! the basic objective was interception of the target and the missile did it? what more 'basic objective' do you want? should the missile again take shape and fly for another target???
Thats the reason, I opened a thread to discuss the ASTRA failure, but mods have other idea.
Why is he so persistent with the denial, after all the sources been provided that Astra has nothing but russian agat seeker.
Hell, you cannot ignore him as he claims he only know everything, rest being...zero knowledge
Maybe,
But how much DODO "scientists know is the question.
Man, EADS offered a failed MAKO trainer tech to LCA says a lot.
YOU ARE A TROLL
Is it better to fail trying than not try at all.
Titanium, your peanut brain can't figure out why Pakistan did not have BVRAAM till recently whereas the much criticized Mig 21s also have the ability to fire them. Take a reality check and a good look at your country's capabilities before you go gaga on DRDO.
Yup, so true, sometimes troll do get hijack the thread with their insistence, like Russian seeker is not present in astra.
lets have a re-look at the failure of astra.
What does that say??
Astra went to point A to point B, as targeted, but after that it was not working as expected. Basically lost responding to the commands.
Is this satisfies
Robert Hewson, editor of Jane's Air Launched Weapons, in a March 2003 issue of Jane's Defence Weekly stated, "The basic Astra design uses a metallic airframe with a long low aspect-ratio wing and a single-stage smokeless rocket motor. After launch, the missile will use a combination of inertial mid-course guidance and/or data-linked targeting updates before it enters its terminal acquisition phase. In a head-on engagement, the Astra will have a maximum range of 80 km. The missile's onboard radio-frequency seeker has been largely designed in India but incorporates a degree of outside assistance, according to DRDO sources. It will have an autonomous homing range of 15 km. The missile's warhead is a pre-fragmented directional unit, fitted with a proximity fuze. A radar fuze already exists for the Astra, but the DRDO is currently working on a new laser fuze. According to the DRDO, the first ground-launched aerodynamic trials of the Astra will begin within the first half of this year. This will be followed by the next phase of controlled in-flight test launches."

Looks exactly like this
