I wont be surprised if it ends up costing the same as M26(final lot acq price of $100k for guided unit) from M270. Theres chances it'll cost more than that since full rate production can not be achieved with piecemeal orders.

Thats really expensive per unit cost. 12 years of inflation must have beefed up that cost considerably. If a guided unit costs $150k and unguided costs $75k today, then for a 1:2 ratio mix of un/guided rockets, A single reload for a regiment will cost $24M. ( 80 units of guided + 160 units of...

Not really. The facility tasked with the production hasn't been able to deliver. I back that. First 2 regiments were ordered back in 2006-07. Another 2 were were ordered for $460m in 2014-15. An Rfp for another six regiments has been lying in the books for the last 4 years costing Rs. 146.3 B...

An M270 mlrs rocket costs about $100k So pinaka's *quoted* price at $30k(i don't expect Infia MIC to be able to deliver the product at this price) is quite a bargain. One Bm30 smerch rocket costs about $50k (no link, but i crunched some numbers back when India bought smerch systems). The entire...

I must admit it seems highly unlikely that this number could be achieved even considering favourable quoted prices. 1 incendiary/HE rocket for pinaka-1 was said to cost Rs. 2 million ($30,000). $30k x 190k = $5.7B, which is a massive amount, considering the entire capital budget for Indian Army...

22 regiments = 440 launchers = 5280 launch tubes (3 batteries with 6 launchers each and extra 2 launchers for Hq for a total of 20 launchers) 189,000/5280 = 36 reloads.

I'm sure it'll be enough to change the geography of the local area ... I personally think rockets are under rated in the age of missiles.. The sheer amount of damage a single battalion can do with 50 kg fragmented type warhead is literally breath taking..

10 salvos still equal about around 500 crore... Dont want to annoy anybody with nitpicking.. Just felt it requires some explanation..

I dont' think they keep it classified... The system is literally out for export. Its main competitor Smerch has been up for sale for decades now... And i'm sure you can find pretty much every kind of info possible about that

In a regiment.. 216 pinaka on launcher, 216 on loader, 216 in storage ..so 648 rockets amounting to around 150 crore. From the Tata contract , a regiment worth of launcher and command posts cost 200 crore. The loader (crane)and replenisher(can storage) is based on the same platform(8x8), so...

Does somebody have a general price breakdown here... A regiment consists of 3 batteries that is 18 launchers, 18 loaders, 9 replenishment vehicles, 6 command posts and 3 radar vehicle.. For a price of rs. 2400 crore. ? .. (Considering six regiments cost 14633 crore when cleared by DAC).. On...
