More layers are always better.

Even on land, we are not just relying on updated bofors Anti air gun with radar and fcs.
But also working on.

Bhargavastra (counter drone system) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

Plus ak630 on our ships have Effective range between 2-3km.
Drdo vshorad has 6km max range.
So it adds another layer, a more longer layer of point defense than ak630.

But I'm not against the idea of more anti air auto cannons on ship too.
Oto melara 76mm being put on our modern ships is already designed to engaged subsonic targets, and some effectiveness against low supersonic targets too.
Another 30-50mm one to compliment it, won't be a bad idea.

Also the vshorad launchers takes quite less space compared to auto cannons.
And quite easier to add on superstructure of ships.

We can make our own Kashtan with DRDO VSHORAD and a newer gun. A gun based CWIS is probably still necessary due to drones.
We should also make our own SeaRAM with ASRAAMs. Both should be available for use depending on the ship.

We have upgraded( radar and fcs) gun based ciws based on ak630 gun.

pls tell me that gandiva isnt designed for slow targets like aewacs, refuellers but rather fast targets like fighters.
even drdo started to blackpill

Considering missile consists of guidance computer, warhead and control surfaces. It is more or less can the guidance system able to manoeuvre to its target whether it is slow or fast. Only extra defence his EW jamming will be better from AWACS.

The concept was first tried by the Americans in the late 1950s, early 1960s.

They even successfully developed the nuclear ramjet engine. Hardly a soviet invention.

if its truly a 1960s tech then drdo can also develop it easily ig, do we have a use case for such missiles?

No.

No use case for such missiles. The reason why pluto was cancelled by america was because of the invention of ICBM's and because the exhuast was radioactive and toxic, and the concept in general had alot of safety concerns.

I pray the Generols buy this in large numbers.
Absolutely love the truck cabin design.

The cannon on this is the ATAGS one right or a different gun?

RIP MPATGM

Why they are ordering failed missile system , when indigenous solution is ready.

If they were serious they'd allow DRDO to get experienced, top class Indian talent from 5 places and pay them the salaries they deserve.

But no, muh ((( procedure ))) ka bhakt banna hai inko

It might be latest variant of javline with higher range of 4/5 km .. mpatgm is javline block one equivalent with 2.5 km . They are planing a future variant with higher range .

For some reason mpatgm is 10 kg heavier than javline . The CLU unit is twice that of the CLU unit of javline .

That makes me wonder what happened to "Asibal" developed by vem technology. It is quiet light weight and they were also developing a long range version .

There is actually lateral entry scheme in DRDO but can't say how successful they have been in attracting good talents .








If there are reservation and salary rigidity , it should be bypassed by DRDO associated private labs .

Nope, the current model is alright. Let DRDOwallahs collaborate with start-ups and private sector. There was already this article detailing the strategy of Solar Industries and how they have brought back a battalion of scientists and PhD holders from gora nations to develop their own stuff. Thrusting outsiders into DRDO seems counter productive (even though they have some extremely capable folks in their ranks) - let them fulfill their role as the nodal agency. Our spacetech start-ups following a similar playbook - healthy mix of ex ISRO folks and phoren grads.

Just increase the defense budget for fuck's sake and you will have an entire ecosystem.

Either this is a jhumla scheme which exists just on paper or even for those who do lateral entry they pay is peanuts so they reject the DRDO offer.

As i said there's no seriousness.

They run after some mythical Tee Oh Tee but don't want to hire certain smart guys who may have played a roll in building the techs they want ToT over.

It is not jhumla. ISRO has had lateral entries too. But like I wrote, thrusting outsiders into a nodal agency does not necessarily work out for the better.

What's anti missile systems & how's it linked to the Javelin ?

What's anti missile systems & how's it linked to the Javelin ?

The fact of the matter is that, they won't even procure Javelin - not in significant numbers anyway. Remember, you heard it here first.
