    Whats pathetic is you shooting off your mouth. This is in LOBL mode. in LOAL mode, as in helina, the range is 10 km.

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    I correct you. You are wrong. The 25 KM version of spike weighs in excess of 70 Kg, almost twice that of Nag.

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    An earlier report by Saurav Jha said the new NAG seeker has an improved range of 6-7 Km. The MoD report confirms the news:- This should make NAMICA an excellent strike platform, increasing the effective range from 4 km to 7 km, outside the targeting range of most older tanks. A LOBL range of 7...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    If everything goes right, spike/Pars 3 might not be integrated on Rudra/LCH and they will directly start off with Helina.

    Prototype: 2-3 years Developer Trials : 2 years User Trials: 2 years Production Set up: 1-2 years 8 years is a conservative estimate.

    MMP, a program in it's infancy versus two established products. We'll take our chances ;)

    Two different seekers, not Dual seekers :) See my post on Nag seekers a few posts back.

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    No. Hellfire is laser guided, Nag is IIR missile. Huge difference. Nag does not need laser illumination and the laser warning sensors on enemy tanks do not get a warning, it's a fire and forget missile. We need Javelin production because there is no vendor currently in India that makes focal...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Imaging Infra Red (IIR) Seeker on NAG ATGM W-Band millimeter (mm) wave seeker for Air Launched Nag. It must be noted that mm-wave Nag will not be a true analogue of Brimstone missile as it lacks laser guidance. We have now IIR seeker, Laser seeker and mm wave seeker. Hopefully they convert...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    It says right there in your quote, 'armed personnel' :P. Integrated blast fragmentation sleeve warhead works both as a shaped charge as well as a fragmentation warhead, it was specifically designed to cut down multiple warhead inventory of hellfire missiles. I am not sure how it works, probably...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    To be fully comparable with hellfire and spike, Nag will need an integrated blast fragmentation sleeve warhead. It works both as an anti armor and anti personnel warhead by having the properties of a tandem warhead as well as a fragmentation warhead...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    ^^ Good news, but considering the near non existent imaging semi conductor industry in India, I doubt if we can produce any significant number of missiles for the next few years. Making a few laboratory examples is one thing, making seekers on large scale with proper quality checks is a whole...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Seeker evaluation trials for Nag carried out in Rajasthan - The Hindu Let's hope the RCI seeker passes trial. In last year's trials the seeker containing focal plane array (FPA) from Sofradir had less than 100% target dissemination capabilities at high temperature and humidity typical of...

    Re: Nag series trials for 18 days Not really, Hellfire/Brimstone, PARS 3/Trigat and Spike all feature blast fragmentation sleeve. The question has been answered, but a more detail answer FWIW. Tracking Down Gaza War's Deadly, Mysterious Cubes | Danger Room | Wired.com The part on how a...

    Nag anti-tank Missile

    Re: Nag series trials for 18 days Try reading the history of other comparable system before you shoot off your mouth. Hellfire originally came with an option of switching warheads before mission to tandem shaped charge and blast fragmentation warhead, the latest versions come with IBFS warhead...
