    Missile test NOTAMs

    DRDO is again on a firing spree. And it seems there is a huge requirement from the Army for this Qrsam system. The IAF will also acquire two digit nos of Qrsam squadrons to augment our SpyDer batteries in the counter standoff pgm lacm roles. The Qrsam combat groups in IAF service will also be...

    DRDO achieves a major milestone in its ongoing missile programme as QRSAM fired in full operational configuration directly hits pilotless target aircraft Banshee at medium range & medium altitude. Happy Diwali fellas.

    Missile test NOTAMs

    Indian airforce is testing out the recently acquired aam stocks from Russia. A wvraam which I am certain is R-74M2 was test fired today from a Su-30MKI. The test was successful. So, we can be certain that IAF has integrated the newer versions of the in service missiles and operationalised them...

    Missile test NOTAMs

    Another NOTAM in Bay of Bengal. Looks like user trials of in service and newly acquired missiles by Indian Navy and Airforce respectively. Maybe another user trial of air launched Brahmos. This time with some new enhancements like improved range. Brahmos MD Dr Sudhir Kumar Mishra had made it...

    Missile test NOTAMs

    Another feather in the hat of DRDO. What's most important to note is that a new version was tested and that the the missile will complement exisiting class of missile systems. So we are going to induct and deploy Shaurya if the system hasn't been already deployed. Or the initial Shaurya had...

    Missile test NOTAMs

    So we are going to test launch Shaurya today. So Porkykicker is again bang on target. I remember him saying some time back that based on what he has seen the Shaurya missile had been inducted. It was more than a year back. Or two years. Seems Chinese transgression and incursions have woken the...

    Missile test NOTAMs

    Agni-4 was successfully testfired by personnel of SFC in a lofted trajectory. Previously A-5 was tested in the lofted trajectory. Looks like they are validating and testing out a new RV design or new countermeasures/ payload.

    Missile test NOTAMs

    We need to see whether MoD release the pic of the missile. They may have tested a different warhead config. The missile is now ready to be inducted.

    Missile test NOTAMs

    Besides guidance and seeker tech you need to validate the structural strength and the aerodynamics of the missile. So we need to test the AD-1 / 2 missile itself. And AAD and PDV are operatnl

    Missile test NOTAMs

    That would be an intercept test. Before that the missile needs to be tested to validate aerodynamics airframe strength and guidance. Once the soundness of the design has been proved, then intercept tests can commence. You do not have a brand new unproven missile intercept a target ballistic...
