Is it true that we cannot Arm mirage 2000 with astra? Then what are we going to do with that 50 Million $ update which consists of Bvrm which is having range of just 70km?

Mig-29UPG prepped for Astra BVRAAM integration Indian Air Force(IAF) Top Brass has decided to integrate India’s locally developed Beyond Visual range Air-to-Air missile Astra Mk1 with the 60 odd fleet of upgraded Mig-29UPG Air Superiority fighter jet after IAF started receiving Limited serial...

Do you even know the capabilities of 270 Su-30 and 66 Mig-29 UPG and 46 Mirage2k + Tejas. all mig-21 jaguar and all these alone will make sure PAF is totally destroyed in total air to air conflict. And capabilities of phalcon radar is a 360 yes there is short fall in awacs but things are...

If india wanted to go to that depth then within hours their would have been no PAF left. :) Don't be sentimental about Mig-21 go crashed? Tell me which airforce haven't got it's jet crashed isreali F-16 was shot by Some terrorist scums few days Back a CIA plane was shot by Taliban. Few months...

Why you care so much what they are blabbering?. Btw R-37 is technically useless against A fast moving jet it's more useful against Awacs. To shot a jet missiles need to do tight maneuvers.

ER and Astra Mk1 to replace Russian-made Vympel R-77 across entire Su-30MKI fleet Published March 10, 2020 | By admin SOURCE: IDRW NEWS NETWORK The Indian Air Force (IAF) is planning to its integration to its entire fleet of 272 Su-30MKI fleets with indigenously developed Astra Mk1 Beyond...

Re-Engineered Meteor BVRAAM On The Works For IAF If any new-generation BVRAAM is to become a ‘game-changer’, then it has to have vastly improved kinematic capability compared with that of existing BVRAAMs. This requires substantial increases in two key parameters: ‘F-Pole’, i.e. the distance...

Astra is very much comparable to AIM-120C based on RAW capabilities. And IAF in general is already pretty biased against indigenous weapons if Astra was a bad missile they would have pointed that out. IF anyone here believes that astra is inferior missile then he/she then they should provide...

This can be the reason why India opted for this Russian combo. Russian BVR Combat Philosophy The Russian paradigm of BVR combat has its origins in the Cold War period, when Soviet operational analysis indicated that the low kill probability of missile seekers and airframes, especially if...

Go to previous page IAF chief himself said that Astra is comparable to AMRAAM - 120C in capabilities. Yeah yeah what about electronic warfare as far as we know Chinese have access to every single Russian BVRAAM missiles. They can work to build Rapid counter measure against it whereas astra is...

What's the use of 80Km range R-77 which was already a lacking factor in previous skirmish. It's totally inferior to Astra Mk1 IAF have already tested Astra missile 25 times 50 limited production orders are already given and per unit cost of astra without mass manufacturing is comparable to R-77...

Brother then that is the case with AMRAAM - 120C and R-77 too. Astra uses a smokeless solid fuelled motor that can propel the missile to a speed of Mach 4.5 and allows operation from a maximum altitude of 20 km (66,000 ft). The maximum range of Astra is 110 km (68 mi) in head-on chase mode and...

That's certainly not the case R-27ER Firing range, km: max100 min100 Launch weight, kg350 Warhead weight, kg39 This information is from OEM. Astra is having 10km edge over this missile too and We have specific reports which say likewise too astra is having range of 110KM armed with state of the...

By these and you will be never be able to correctly counter Pakistanis advantages in BVRM. I dunno why foreign ka maal lovers are not ordering more Astra?

Yeah weight will matter alot coz a heavy missile cannot do maneuvers. That's the reason why long range air to air (awacs killer ) missiles cannot be used to kill jets. But i have my doubts about Chinese air to air missiles.

:yo::yo: .........................

Niceeee buddy this means you can go to lots of airforce day shows :biggrin2:

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but i guess india bought the R-77 (80)km variant which is totally inferior to Astra Mk1 and for R-73 we don't have any indigenous alternative. These include air-to-air missiles with an extended range as well air-to-surface missiles, ThePrint has learnt...

R-771 which is the best BVRM of Russia is having range of 110 KM R-77M is under development. Astra can compete with any missile which is having range of 110 KM. And anyways it's quite nice to have two totally different bvrm missiles armed on a jet because it will make electronic warfare even...

Astra Mk1 matches AIM-120C-5 in range and performance: IAF Chief On the first anniversary of the Balakot airstrikes, on Wednesday, Air Chief Marshal RKS Bhadauria speaking to NDTV confirmed that the indigenously developed Astra Mk1 beyond visual range air to air missile (BVRAAM) which has been...
