DRDO and PSU's

Exhibition depicting products of our favourite DRDO lab - the ADE comprising of the Archer, Archer NG, Tapas , Abhyas & the Nirbhay CM.

Also the HGV which has a range of 1500 kms, is launched from a ground based TEL & can attain a speed of Mach 10 aiming at a moving target which in this case happens to be a ship. I'm guessing it can be launched to target assets on land as well.

More info on the HGV & the ASL BM -04 with a max range of 1500 kms.

Between the various iterations of the Grad, Pinaka, Smerch , Prahar / Pranash , Pralay , LR-AShM, BM-04, etc we've all the building blocks for a first rate Integrated Rocket Force.

Now, all that the GoI / MoD, the armed forces, DRDO, it's associate labs & DPSU as well as the Pvt Sector has to do is move their stiff arses pronto , order these items, mass produce these in huge numbers in double quick time with mfg facilities in a position to double or triple the output during war time.

If after having all these armaments at our disposal we refuse to do the obvious, we'd have only ourselves to blame much like Nehru was scratching his testes named V.K.Krishna Menon who was scratching his testes named Lt Gen B.M. Kaul who in turn was scratching his balls, refusing to deploy the IAF for offensive missions in 1962 all because a certain John Kenneth Galbraith - US Ambassador to India advised him against escalating the war .

This should echo in here & out there in view of the fact that we were all witness to what Zelensky had to face at the White House. When a nation our size is facing a war, if we can't handle the enemy on our own, we've no right to exist as a nation state.

It's only a science project today, it will be so tomorrow also

When the flying prototype comes out the user will then complain, "the other side has 6th gen and AMCA is just 4.5gen++++"

Ofc what makes a fighter 6th gen then is only decided by brochures of what is available from 5 places in the world. :facepalm4:

All these fighter jet related science projects( radar, missiles, 5gen fighter, mwf ) must be cancelled, since nothing will be inducted, money is unironically better spent on some Ladla Voter yojana, atleast that gives the ruling party some votes and poor citizens may get little extra to spend/save.

Plasma stealth actually degrades stealth of stealth jet.
Tho it can be useful to reduce rcs of radar of fighter jets when radar is not in use, shielding the radar inside nose cone of fighter jets that's the only place it can be useful.

That’s counterproductive. Frequency selective materials are used in nose cone to do the same. Why blind the radar itself.
 
Am I the only one who is seeing this ? 🤔

Canister has smooth surface in two places...

Static launcher too has 2 Rings to hold the smooth surface of canister....

FYI, K5 has a surface launcher....

S4 & S4* can't fit 2.45 Meters Diameter K5 in their silos....

So K5 will be used with surface launcher till S5 comes.....🕉💪🇮🇳🚀☢️

It's party time mitron.

That's Astra mk3 employing solid fuel ducted ramjet which can be throttled during its operation. Meaning it can be programmed to generate moderate thrust or even low thrust during the cruise phase. And then operate at max thrust levels during the end game to give it that extra energy to play with. This ensures that Astra mk3 has a huge NEZ, much higher than Meteor, PL-15, PL-21, R-37M, AIM120D3.

It has a higher range than Meteor.

I can bet my left kidney that this even OUTCLASSES AIM260.

And it will be having a gimballed Aesa seeker which will improve the scan volumes this reducing the chance that a hostile aircraft can fly out of the seeker view.

Aesa seeker will also make it more immune to most types of jamming.

This is such an interesting event, even more than AeroIndia, yet you have only random local news channels covering it and Defense Bros personally having to go and take pictures at the exhibition

All name-brand "Defense Journalists" are missing 🤡

My point is not the merits/demerits/effectiveness of the specific technology, it is that kuch bhi kare IAF doesn't want their stuff.

What is this supposed to be launched from? Su-30? Is it effective even without AESA radar like Virupaksha on the plane?

Even with merits the advantages in stealth it will give for radar will be minimum and the power generation requirement will mean it's not worth it use it even just for radar, unless some radical tech breakthrough happens plasma tech is not worth it.

As for astra mk3.
Imagine stealth jet or loyal wingman or even tejas, su30 or other fighterjet, managed to lock on a plane, put they don't have missiles or plane is 150km away and thet only have astra mk1 with max 110km but behind our aircrafts is another Aircraft flying 50-60km behind with astra mk3 with 300km range, now the aircraft in front can guide astra mk3 carried by aircraft from behind.
Another scenario, is awacs killer, using su30mki's radar or radar of stealth aircraft much closer to enemy awacs.
There are also other scenarios.

These are all nice features.

But what i'm asking is, Astra mk3 can be used with a basic su-30 that we have in service? there is no dependency on a deshi radar like Virupaksha to be installed?


It says here the Astra mk1 missile has to be integrated with su-30, are these integrations done?
