Agat makes several different seekers. If at all a deal has been signed, does it mention that the seekers are for the Astra?

It is uncanny how most rockets are shaped like a pencil - thin and long with a pointy edge. :rolleyes:

The only limiting factor to the Akash shooting down an SR-71 is the altitude. The plane is not going to do Mach 3 unless its above 20km. And at those altitudes, the Akash ramjet will fail due to the thinness of air. However, if the SR 71 is below lets say 15km, it is possible to shoot it down...

I am sure a lot of math went into that. ok. you should not talk with such authority. you are only another internet patzer like the rest of us.

It does not operate at 80,000 feet, Its ceiling is 80K feet. And stop working with the assumption that its only a tail chase. 3000 Akash missiles have been deployed already. Do you think each of them is gonna be shot one at a time. If the Blackbird is within the Akash's range it may be able to...

I dont disagree with the how good the plane was. Only that the Akash shooting it down cannot be ruled out. You must remember that the Akash is a highly networked system. As the plane gets out of range of one missile, it comes within the range of another.

20 out of 50 planes crashed chief. thats 40%. either way, the plane cannot outrun modern SAM systems. Akash, well maybe, maybe not.

meh, with the right weapons anything can be shot down. btw, the blackbird did not need to get shot down. 40% of the planes decided to crash without any enemy around.

They said that about the F117. A simple SA-3 was sufficient to bust that myth.
