    Astra BVRAAM

    Since the development completed, user trials will start, right!!! Or the user trials also completed!!?? Coming to Tejas, I guess DRDO folks will wait till the integration of ELTA 2052 happens. All current Tejas has ELTA 2032.

    Sea is different from land. The radar clutter is very high on land. There is hell lot of difference between detecting, tracking, lock on and finally hit. I bet you know this. During the whole process if the Missiles uses terrain to it's advantage i.e dives into valley or goes around the...

    Agreed...cost of S-300PMU2 is way higher than any point defense. With proper guidance BuK is also capable.... The problem is we forget the cost.... Cost of Pantsir Missiles is cheaper than BuK or S-300 PMU2 Missile, is it not!! No of weapon systems purchased and saturation point of the...

    My problem with 4 is when cruise missile flying at tree top hights.... At altitudes it is possible to take on cruise missiles. At tree top altitudes, nothing works. Point defenses are specially designed for this very threat. Even after having 24*7 AWACS or Zeplin or Aerostat cover, there is no...

    Buddy your entire argument is based on AWACS detecting the enemy missiles. 1. We will never know when they'll be launched in the first place. 2. We don't Know what route they'll travel. 3. Enemy knows that we have our AWACS stationed so why he'll launch in the first place. He might wait till...

    True..... I never thought that..... You know more that scientists who developed them and the generals who used them in war. Try talking to our generals, after listening to your idea they might even make you joint chief of command as well.

Let me explain how cruise missiles are used and buddy this is gonna be the last fucking time!!!! The example...

    Then why wasn't it attempted!!! There was a recent cruise missile attack, why didn't Russian fighters intercept!!?? Cruise missiles are to enter the threat zone, they descend.....Cruise missiles are left to air defenses, coming to saturation of air defenses with multiple cruise missiles, IADS...

    Well I meant during the Aastra test, Lakshya was flown to simulate enemy aircraft. If you notice the terminology, Lakshya is called as pilotless aircraft. I didn't meant Lakshya couldn't fly at tree top. Honestly I didn't knew Laksya could do that. Flying a tree top requires special avionics...

    Using Cruise Missiles as target drones is stupidity. The whole purpose of the target drones is to replicate enemy aircraft. Cruise Missiles don't suite the purpose.

    Cruise missiles follow terrain hugging path at tree top hights(some times it might go as low as 5 mts). Forget hitting, getting a lock on from fighter aircraft is near impossible. While the Banshee or Lakshya fly at altitudes and simulate enemy aircraft; Cruise Missiles don't. I hope this...

    BVR Missiles will not be used against cruise missiles, that to against Brahmos!!! They will fail...... I want Aastra to be tested against retired Mig-21(controlled from ground) equipped with EW suite.

    So it means that if we fire 2 aastras one with Ku band seeker and another with X seeker then the chances are higher that enemy ac is destroyed. Back then there were some reports that L band of Pakfa will be used to search targets and guide missiles. I understand that L band is not good enough...

    After reading content about KU band and X band, I got a quick qn. I am a layman in tech terms, please answer my questions patiently. 1. Which radio frequency band is more susceptible to jamming!? 2. If two missiles i.e one with KU band and another with X band are fired at the same target(with...

    We are making an AAM for the first time but that really doesn't mean that Aastra is not reliable missile... do you mind listing out Smokeless AAMs operational(for my reference) And no matter what BVRAAM pk is not more than 20% and this applies for all BVRAAMs... If any weapon reached user...
