Can the Russians purchase Micrprocessors from the USA, that too for military purpose?

From what you are saying, I gather that the 25 to 30 km range will be where the missile will be really effective. So we could have used a different propulsion system, making the missile even lighter with the same energy thourghout it's light path.

then the missile is coasting and the advantage offered by the RAMJET engine is nullified.

It wont be flying in a subsonic speed, it has no use flying ina sub sonic speed

Well AKASH being an accelerating missile instead of coasting, the speed of the missile will keep on increasing. So, if mach 2.2 is the highest speed only at it's end. There is a very good probability that the avg speed of the missile can only mach 1

Do you want to know more about the AASM-P missile?

When I meant they re not accurate, I meant that their flight path can vary, even the launchers cannot have precise location on where they ll strike. So it becomes all the more harder for ABMs to track the incoming and wavering missile and nuetralise it. Read up on the failures of PAC 2 in the...

It varies with the range of BM. For a short range/tactical BM 10~15 mach is expected. The trajectory may be same, but a flight path of a BM may be highly erratic, that's why the CEP of BM's are usually higher then others. Also there is the consideration of BM's breaking up on re entry like the...

If that is the probability against an aircraft @ mach 3, what will be the probability at a ballistic missile with a speed of Mach 10+, that these missiles were designed to engage ?

You mean the AA10 short range air to air missile

Any links for the same ? Also the SA6 was heavily re modified during the Iraq invasion 2004. The heat seekers of Igla missiles were added on to that.

Great work. What is this thought ?

Man, few years back there were many reports from defense watchers stating that Akash was nuclear capable. Also a report back in 1999 stated that it was one of the nuclear capable missiles.

It didn't seem :crazy: enough to the designers of the missile. The development of the missile started in 1983. So the plans would have been layed in 1970's itself.

^^ Check post #325. I m just thinking out aloud here The Patriot missile shares the same dimension as that of the Akash. However the Patriot gives a range of 240KM with a larger warhead, whereas Akash gives 30km.

IMO even if it misses the target, the blast will do the required damage. Also the EMP generated during a nuclear explosion is enough to blow out the electronics in a aircraft. There was a doc about this somewhere in Discovery.

Sir, IMO the nuclear submarines were created to stay hidden, or deeper. It isn't meant to surface, that's why we do not see the US or Russia come up with Submarine launched SAM.

It means a Surface to Air missile having nuclear warhead. No other thing.

The Akash is nuclear capable. Check your source. Here is the reference. India and weapons of mass destruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia IMO the nuke Akash wont be used.
