Too bad India couldn't wait for Hermes-A. It will be far superior to any option.
I don't think its possible for a missile with 15km + range to be man-portable.Too bad India couldn't wait for Hermes-A. It will be far superior to any option.
The article said it was going to interfere with Nag development. This is consistant with the Javeline installation on M2 Bradleys. Hermes will decimate any missile in this class.I don't think its possible for a missile with 15km + range to be man-portable.
I don't think the Javelin model India is getting is man-portable based on the article. Hermes is top-attack fire-forget as well with much greater range.BTW guys, the Javelin uses top-attack mode with terminal pop-up maneuver, which makes it the only man-portable anti-tank missile to be able to do so.
I don't think India will buy Bradleys, or that the Javelins can be integrated with BMPs/BTRs. So India is most likely interested in the portable version only. The reference to the Nag may be misguided.The article said it was going to interfere with Nag development. This is consistant with the Javeline installation on M2 Bradleys.

I think Hermes would be a quite formidable missile. The range itself makes it far superior to anything out there as of now. (Its range is double of Hellfire AFAIK) Are all trials completed for it? I could not find too much information on the internet about it. Is it operational with the Russian Army?I don't think the Javelin model India is getting is man-portable based on the article.

Yeah, i am late, mate ! And i don't know why people are mixing up the Javelin with the Nag, both are different genre of ATGMs. Nag is heiborne missile in the league of the Hellfire, whereas Javelin is a shoulder launched one.Joining in late, but the thread shows me the people are crying over apples and oranges.
Why will the Javelin purchase stop the Nag? no one is going to use the Javelin siting in a chopper is he?
We call our media DDM, but then why do people jump the boat and get carried over by them?
