@mods can we make an official logo for DFB of this?

Another idea for the patch.

Not for this website but just for the sake of sarcastic humor:
> NATIONAL BOARD OF UNQUALIFIED & INEXPERIENCED DEFENCE ENTHUSIASTS.
> INDIAN DEFENCE MATTERS KEYBOARD WARRIOR DIVISION.
> INDIAN COUNCIL OF DEFENCE ARMCHAIR EXPERTS.
> DEPARTMENT OF ONLINE OFFENCE ON DEFENCE.
> ONLINE REFLEXIVE RESPONSE ASSOCIATION.
> INDIAN ANTI-SOCIAL MEDIA OFFENCE COMMAND.
> DEFENCE MATTERS ARGUEMENT BATALLION.

Anyone has any gupt-sutra for the diameter of AD-1 and Kusha?
@fire starter @Fatalis @Adm_Kenobi @dfi_pk

It's bit costly making new rocket motors as you've to make everything from moulds to mandrel from scratch so people sometimes tend to use existing rocket motors like in case of K-15/Shaurya/Pralay/SMART or Prahaar motor in Ashwin.
So by that logic Kusha-M1 might repurpose Barak-1's motor and AD-1, idk Prahaar maybe? But it's not conclusive

A good thread with relevant information:

Project Kusha / Programme LRSAM / PGLRSAM

DRDO has been working on a very long range Surface to Air missile to meet the demands of Indian Armed Forces. Previously, the rumors were that it will be known as XRSAM and will have only one missile with ranges upto 300km. Then the information got updated and it was called as Extended Range...

Also,
Kusha M1 main body - 350mm dia
Booster - 250mm dia
second stage- Both the KV and booster will feature TVC.
Length: <7m long
<500mm when folded
Around 670kg

Not sure about AD-1 but my guess around ~ 450-650mm.
