AMCA will go into full production when india gets 110kN engine. Engine is the key

Geometric stealth is most important. Bit we can't just get any plane with right geometric properties without considering requirement for other factors. Integration or aircraft with various components ia not simple plug and play. Significant coding and optimisation of codes will be needed to...

Then is Russia making Brahmos-NG engine too?

RUSSIA 'S RAMJET DESIGN FACILITY HAS CLOSED Plamja-M, the Russian design bureau pecialising in ramjet powerplants, has been closed. A small portion of its staff now works in the engine department of the Science and Production Association Machine-Building (NPO Mashinostroyeniya), completing work...

ASMP is low range missile. It has range from 80-300 km. Brahmos has minimum 300km at low flight profile. ASMP is air launched which also removes its requirement for booster, thus reducing some weight. ASMP is also slower with speed at 2+ Mach most of the time and reaches 3Mach in dive mode only.

Thanks foe the Brahmos engine image. By the way, do you know What is the diameter of Brahmos engine? These two appear significantly different. India will have to design a new missile for this new LFRJ to be used. Is there any other supersonic missile being developed?

I think it is just replica of Russian engine. So, unlikely that range will change. I believe It will give India the ability to make its own Brahmos missile fully indigenised with Indian technology. India has already indigenised the seekers and guidance. So, engine was the only component left...

They are of good quality. Army is not fashion model to have good looks. As long as it works well, it is good

Major portion of imported weapons indigenised under 'Make in India' programme: BDL chief A majority portion of the weapon systems procured from other countries has been indigenised as part of 'Make in India' programme, Chief Managing Director of the Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) Commodore...

I am Advaidhya. The account was restricted in some thread due to OT posts. So, I switched. My bad. Sonobuoys can have life span upto 8 hours by limiting number of scans per minute. But practice wise, it is generally less than 4 hours. But, the Sonobuoys are generally dropped in a pattern to...

Sea Guardian has 1.4 ton payload. Taking out about 200kg for other items, we will get about 60 Sonobuoys. This will be insufficient to run a sortie 5 times as much as P8. The Sonobuoys are expendable and once dropped, last only 10 minutes. So, to cover large areas, 30 Sonobuoys are needed every...

Sonobuoys of size A weigh 18kg each. DRDO Tapas drone can carry 350kg payload. Assuming other payloads for surveillance weighing 150kg, we can fit 10 standard-size Sonobuoys in Tapas. On the other hand, P8 can carry 120 Sonobuoy and additional harpoon missiles and several crew on board. Earlier...

Is it Arihant submarine program?

Dude, you don't make Pu239 from Th232. How will you increase atomic number of Thorium from 90 to 92 & increasing atomic mass by 7 to make it into Plutonium? You talk like a drug addict

That will depend on government to give Technology transfer to private industry. Many items like Lithium ion battery ( by ISRO), Missile radome, Brahmos seeker, Missile parts Technology (for example VEM) have been given to private industry. So, DRDO can give Technology to private industry. But...

I don't deny that u boats and fast vessels of Germany intercepted shipping vessels in Atlantic. But it is a fact that the Atlantic route had Germany east of UK which have UK advantage in the westward route to USA. Also, Greenland was fighting alongside USA and hence helped secure shipping route...

I am speaking of cargo ships. I know that fast craft vehicles etc can travel fast. But if the ship has to carry good amount of cargo, it has to have a flatter design and has to ho slower. Show me a cargo ship, either merchant Navy or Navy that has speeds over 60kmph. The fast vehicles are...

A ship's maximum speed without harming the engine is 50kmph, though theoretically it can go till 60kmph. In addition, Ships need 15times the length if itself to come to a halt from a speed of 30kmph. If the speed is high as in 50kmph, distance to stop will increase proportionally. A medium sized...

Though they may not claim that, there are videos on YouTube about US testing its ICBM on Vandenberg Island. It shows how closely the missile falls on the targeted zone with very limited error. Si, practical error of USA minuteman is quite low and in single digits. I agree that none wants to see...

We don't want our ICBM to go at GEO orbit and them come back. Even PSLV or our SSLV is more than enough. In fact, we only need suborbital flight to be able to reach far off places. We can't use GPS in ballistic missile as GPS is for ground vehicles, not foe something flying 1000+km above land...
