Idk about a dual seeker in a R-77 but Hsiung Feng II (AShM)of ROC got a dual guidance seeker Radar/Infrared while Derby-5 is a dual seeker but do not employ a radar but I like the IRCCM concept it use -Infrared counter-counter measures...

Astra is expected to have an Active Seeker Radar for terminal guidance. I wish a dual seeker would have been better when our neighbour is upgrading to LO Aircrafts.

Yes Highly possible the first case, as indicated in this picture too... another point is the propellant used seems to be leaving a lot of visible smoke behind, doesnt seems to be using the same fuel in this picture.

Is it only me or anyone else also see the missiles in both the pictures are different structurally!!!

Are their any such examples of any missile using a foreign made Active radar seeker?

Kunal will it end up in another LR-SAM/Barak-8 type of JV where India will be buying the missiles?

Again a new platform usually dont operate another new platform, Tejas itself is in testing phase and it is not a procedure to test a missile upon an aircraft which itself is passing through a testing phase, consider the BVRAAM on Tejas as an interim solution till we have our own missile ready.

Galaxy, Spyder and Barak are not Indian products while Akash guidance system differs from that of Astra, Akash use line of sight ground based radar guidance, and technical challenge with the Astra is still the Active radar seeker, I believe when India could master in this technology we can go...

The first test with the missile onboard guidance system can only confirm the piece of information, unless more information are released.

Galaxy, if we are getting seekers from Russia we will know when we see such an test had actually occurred, till now no Indian missile uses an Active radar seeker to home on enemy target, and the Astra also have not demonstrate such a technology till date.

It is doubtful that the Russians will allow an Active seeker technology component to be used in the Astra as far as I remember the Russians dont even allow a battery change on the R-77 AAM, the area where DRDO is lagging in missile development is the seeker technology.

Galaxy I dont think Israel will sell us Active Radar seeker technology or the components in loose the the importance of the LR-SAM project collaboration with the Israelis were the Active radar seeker technology, they offered the Package (Barak-8 )but not the component for us to implement it on a...

Any news that claims that India is able produce her own Active radar seeker?
