If they decide not to take these straits (Malacca, Sunda, Lombok) and want to circumambulate Australia, they probably need to cover 20,000 kilometers. And that route seems to be amongst the most desolate stretches. And still be under watch by Australian ASW planes.

(viii) MAT GROUND SURFACING (MGS-70) Mat Ground Surfacing CL-70 is a track-way expedient which provides smooth movement of tracked and wheeled vehicles during the movement of troops in marshy terrains, shallow waters of up to 1m depth and soft soils. I think this is the MAT (see the two...

Me thinks BSNL only takes a cut from Government projects and subcontracts it to privates. No idea why it needs lakhs of employees when most of its projects are turnkey, even maintenance is ooutsourced Two examples below The Andaman Nicobar Optical Fibre project was actually done by Japanese...

So this is our version of Spyder SAM? Does the Spyder use the same type of IIR / RF sensors or something different

HAs it been tested with any ATGM?

Do such large radars have rotating mechanism? Or does the truck have to reposition?

HAd a few doubts. Wont this mean that mines are in an almost staright line? Easier to find a pattern once you discover a few Despite the covering mechanism to again throw soil over laid mines, the freshly dug soil will be distinctly seen (unless in desert)

Probably the story behind DRDO mine layer we see now

A very rudimentary prototype- discarded wooden base and fancy pillars as a chassis, the motors and wheels without any coupling support bending under the weight of the chassis. Seems to be a group of computer science guys without mechanical engineering help. Atrocious wiring with lots of...

@porky_kicker any idea about the Thales GS-100 radars? BEL was supposed to produce those in partnership with thales. Any photos or info?

Interesting use of jet pack. I believe its already in existence in other parts of the world. Had seen a video of Akshay Kumar wearing it.

What is the use of this facility? Is it used for any specific welding?

Nice story telling to start a report, without any details about the incident. This is Akash TLV. Notice the pressurized containers on it. TLV is BEML Tatra based. Its a simple vehicle. IT does NOT launch the missile. It just carries containers and loads them on the other Launcher Truck with a...

Let's see the systems mentioned in the report and track their origins Anjani Technoplast. perhaps an MSME. Makes the pressurised containers. http://www.anjani.com/pressurized-containers-for-missiles-ammunition/ A news clipping. If I remember correctly, the pressurized containers were...

The launcher looks like it has only 3 missiles unlike the usually seen 6 config

Ashleesha is a small radar. Wonder why it is on a truck.

Me thinks that the 5 Km range is probably for killing small quadcopter sized drones- the DJI phantom type drones. Not the bigger UAVs. Remeber the attack on Russian SAMs by swarm UAVs? https://www.sciencealert.com/swarm-home-made-drones-strike-military-base-first-attack-kind-russia-uavs So...

People probably got confused. Multibarrel CIWS like Phalanx and AK630 are used as last ditch effort against SAM and an additional role as anti-pirate/anti-terrorist (Remember USS Cole) 20mm/30mm single barrel guns are to be used in patrol boats for dedicated anti-pirate role. Little or...
