Lot of foolish ideas existed in cold war. Good thing it is over. You will get both EMP and radiation as a result of nuclear blast. The outcome cannot be good.

Nuclear Sam is not practical as it is a defensive weapon. Nobody wants a nuclear blast on own territory. The most practical weapon is a nuclear torpedo which can perhaps sink several ships.

Yes a range of 35km and a semi-active seeker are desirable. But please understand that missile can be changed anytime. The radars and launchers will be not be built in a day. It takes time. We need to sustain production of the SAM system so that there are enough systems available when needed.

Operational history of SPYDER SR: During the Russo-Georgian war of 2008, it was believed that Georgia operated the SPYDER-SR. The Georgian air force could have operated up to four launchers of the SPYDER-SR and it is likely that the system was lost in the conflict.

SPYDER clearly needs stabilization. It cannot fire on the move. Guidance system Infrared homing and electro-optical The battlefield survivability of this system is equal to any soft skin truck. This truck cannot cross streams and rivers on its own. Maybe it can strike cruise missiles but...

The SA3 and SA6 systems are outdated. Akash is in fact replacement of both SA3 and SA6. This is the reason large numbers of Akash are needed. IAF cannot protect cities with fighters alone. Also IAF bases are mostly away from large population centers. IAF SAM systems do not provide adequate...

The mobility of Strela system currently with Indian Army.

You are basically going all over the place. Any system can be defeated. I for one firmly believe that defensive systems eventually prove to be useless. Akash system has same vulnerabilities that other similar systems have. I have made it clear that SPYDER is not a solution to Army's mobility...

I am really worried that army is not thinking about defence of cities and major troop concentrations. The first priority should be defence, not maneuver warfare. Akash is needed for air defence of key areas like Srinagar and Pathankot. The mobility is a secondary issue.

India is considering S400 SAM system, and it is estimated that three S400 systems are adequate for Western theatre. There is no reliable counter against all types of weapons that can be used in war. There is no point in wasting money. The radar signature will be there even for a small radar. A...

I am not sure if you are making any sense. There is no weapon system out there which is "invincible". A convoy of SPYDER SAM can be destroyed by dumb rockets, or artillery shells. Each Israeli SAM system costs about 25M USD. Which can be killed by a 0.1M volley of rockets. Indian army has a...

My friend "kind of", "sort of" does not work. The actual numbers matter. If ECCM features are built into Rajendra, then it can hold off spoofing or it can distinguish between a correct and false radar return. It also depends on reaction time. Can aircraft's systems cope with this ground based...

So how difficult it is to test Akash system against such jammers when India has the jammers already? My point is that one should not pass judgement without until all facts are on the table. Maybe Israeli system is better. But this does not make Akash a bad system. If Akash does it job, then it...

Janes says "engage on the move/fire on halt". Whatever it means.

The correct method is to test it against both ground based jammers and airborne jammers. India can either build such jammers or import from Russia/USA. You cannot say it does not work until you test it. Barak 8 should also be tested against such jammers.

India will not win wars with such attitude of officers I warn. It is like a blind leading other blinds.

Akash will shoot down cruise missiles and glide bombs. It has a powerful radar which is very difficult to jam. An active seeker is not a perfect solution, as seeker of missile can be jammed from the ground. Command guidance of Akash is not a defect. Different systems use different technologies...

Nobody denies that srsam is needed. Army can upgrade its osa-m batteries with new radar and new missiles. It can buy Spyder systems. Army still needs Akash though improvement in Akash is a logical path. The report does not say existing order is cancelled. Even I feel that a new version of...

You are crazy. No need to answer you. The goddamn zionist worshipper.

You need good coordinates plus you may have cheaper weapons to hit at close range. Oh goddamn smarty ass again! The KING OF DEFENCE.
