    Nag anti-tank Missile

    40kg missile is not big enough to carry sensors that can scan and send updates to LOAL. The LOAL must be based out of sensors of launch platform. SO, it should be some radar in NAMICA that detects and updates it, not the seeker of the missile. Since this is impractical, no point in asking for...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Firstly, Spike ER has 400m dead range and that appears to be normal doe missiles with 4+ km range. Nag has 5km range and hence will need some time to boost and stabilise. Even MPATGM like javelin has 150m minimum range. Moreover, the range is always conservative and the reality is always better...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    LoAL is mainly for helicopter launch helina. I don't understand how you expect land launched one to change target? It is ver difficult to practically find another target with video feed of the missile as its its camera is not apt to scan when flying at 200ms speed. The max range is 5km eith 4...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Do you know that smerch was indigenised? Milan is something we don't have yet as out MPATGM is under development. About your procurement, mass manufacturing is not something that will be declared in public. Even if orders are given, the numbers will always be hidden to ensure that enemy...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Which imported items are sold to India in thousands? Also, in whatever Technology India has developed indigenously, it can manufacture enmasse. So, as long as Technology is available, manufacturing is easy. Bababanaras has stated in twitter that Indian ay used NAG against Pakistan bunkers. So...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    There ia no end to full test. Until the missile is tested in real war, it can't be fully tested. But with what test has been undertaken, it has worked very well

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    I agree with you on Spike and athos. Tejas already has Indian avionics. Tejas as Israeli radar as the only major component.

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Do you know the standard of ATGM in 1980s? World didn't have advanced semiconductor at that time and the ATGM were all laser or wire guided. So, NAG was also a wire guided one at that time. Is it wire guided now? So, why talk of NAG project of 1980s and compare with today's project?

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    How much delay? Do you think DRDO will delay it unending? We already have NAG and other form of guided missiles, even one which can hit high speed objects like planes (Astra BVRAAM). Why will it be Herculean task to make MPATGM?

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Hmmm.... I thought that helina will be replaced by rail-launched missile which helps in stacking by avoiding tube launchers

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    This news says that the thermal sensors are imported from Rafael and Thales as the Indian sensors are not upto the mark yet. The tone of the article makes it appear to be a sketchy propaganda but I am not sure...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    9P148 uses BRDM which is a 7 ton vehicle. I am not against BMP. I am just saying that an indigenous vehicle of 7-8 tons would be far better than 13-14 ton BMP. The number of NAG used is 12 which is 12x45kg = roughly 600kg. I am saying that the number of NAG carried should be increased to 20+...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Using a 13 ton vehicle to fire a measly 12 missile ks a big waste. Either the number of missiles should be increased to 30 or a lighter vehicle must be used Don't forget that pakistan has Anza stinger missile while India does not have a stinger missile. It is a damn shame that India does not...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Can you give me more details about NAMICA? Can the entire 20 ton vehicle fire just 8 missiles in total? Or is there a reload option available after 8 missiles are fired?

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    The bigger ATGM has huge punch in it. It is a 1 hit kill whereas the lighter versions like spike are less effective against reactive armour

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    NAG is similar to hellfire missile. Even hellfire can be fired from ground. India always likes to develop 2 in 1 items. India got ToT of spike tripod launched missiles too. What India lacks is shoulder launched missiles which USA has like SMAW. The disadvantage of that is the range of shoulder...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    NAG has been developed. Only user trials are remaining. Developmental trials are over. I guess, ToT was crucial to fasten things up. But I was surprised to learn that Spike was tripod launched and not shoulder launched. So, I expressed it here. Anyways, do you know a reason why tripod...
