Always wondered if Su-30MKI gets upgraded to an AESA radar, can the older radars be used as Coastal surveillance radar atop a static tower?????

That's what I meant....the obvious 8 of any truck....and another 8 in-between tires.

It engine might 'haul' 200 tonnes....provided the wheels can carry the load vis-a-vis the pressure. On closer inspection, I see that there are 8 more wheels on the rear axle (between the visible outer wheels). So maybe it can withstand the 50 tonne load! (At first glance it looked like a...

(Ok. Not quoting it. Not really sure what the intent is........) I have serious doubts if this vehicle is indeed a 50 tonne A5 carrier. The wheels don't appear like they can carry such a heavy load...even on a highway. Further a TEL would increase pressure on the rear wheels. I don't know what...

No offense taken. By cold tank, I meant at ambient temperature (not heated by engine or artificially) I wasn't accusing you of being a paid agent.....but will admit I always wonder how you have access to all the cool pics :) Keep those pics coming...........

Despite what any 'theoretical' literature might suggest, the fact remains that Nag/Helina has NEVER BEEN TESTED for a cold tank (not a tank that shut off engine few seconds before). Even the 'test dummies' that DRDO uses, sections of the dummy have heaters to mimic the heat signature of a...

You're overly exaggerating the operational capabilities based on some lab specs! Until recently the entire hot tank could not be discriminated against a hot background! If the tank were left unused for a while, then the background heat will be higher than the tank itself! Also, let it be known...

There're several variants of Hellfire missile. The most recent being even with dual-mode seeker! But the fundamental difference is that Helina is an IIR seeker based ATGM, while Hellfire is Laser-guided or millimeter wave radar guided!! So, they both operate under very different...

Just curious: How does FOG differ for 'under water applications' from say rocket/missile applications?

It could be for ease of construction - modular design! If you build a long tube, how will be accurately place/build the various sections? You might need other reinforcements in the alternative If a two stage missile with a join can sustain the forces, then a single stage missile with a join(for...

It's not 100% clear that this one is a twin stage missile/rocket. It's possible that the top half of the fins are control surfaces while the bottom half are static. The different coloration doesn't seems like it's demarcating sections. Also the MRPKS project was only for prototype...

While it's true that this outsourced company will mostly do only the machining of outer metallic portion, we need to look at the picture closely to see that the upper portion is NOT left open. Look closely, there is a rounded top beyond the edge of the top cylinder. Is there any reason to be so...

Another key feature would be that a cassette of 24 such rockets would be mounted on small 4x4 trucks...that can easily traverse some circuitous mountainous dirt roads that larger trucks cannot traverse..... No TEL required...rocket cassettes can be mounted on cheap trucks

Medium Range Precision Kill System. Army realized that BM-21s, Pinakas and even artillery have a big issue in the mountains - ridge clearing!! Artillery units had to be stationed in relatively large flat areas, so optimal angle will also get optimal range. So, they put out a requirement for...

Now can you reveal/confirm the identity of this rocket/missile? Is it MRPKS?

Totally doubt that. Development model of a purported supersonic radar-homing AAM would be pointy and not flat (as seen in the pic). Do read the description of MRPKS in document attached earlier....the rocket/missile description fits it to a tee.

Is there some good technical/operational analysis on the differences between Bhabha Kavach (ordered by CAPF) and DRDO BPJ (ordered by Army)??? I know that Bhabha Kavach uses "Carbon Nano fibers" & Boron Carbide plate (are the two separate or one impregnated in each other? Bhabha kavach seems...

Seems like most tactical ground targets will become the responsibility of army (while air force concentrating on more strategic targets). That list put out my MoD is not necessarily what DRDO is working on, but an open list for all domestic vendors that these are the things that Services will...

It has very little operational value.....in terms of payload capacity or flight endurance! As such Israeli drones were bought!

@Vijyes Here's MOD's requirement for the next few years:
