I thought penetrate means entering but not exiting and perforate means entering and exiting. Googling also shows same although penetrate is also used for perforate apparently.

quick question, isn't perforation supposed to be harder than penetration? Since for perforation, the projectile has to penetrate the whole armour?

Noob question, how does penetration kill without perforation? Do APFSDS work like HESH rounds?

pls explain, it says 220mm right? How did you get 600mm?

You mentioned PESA being used. Which requires gimbal to move it since it can only send the waves in 1 direction. As you said, PESA can be converted to AESA with a few modifications, which I'm assuming are light or are insignificant compared to weight of the radar + gimbal. AESA is now cheap...

That all is fine but now AESA is being used in missiles, and weight is not an issue since PESA was already used. So, why AESA can't have gimbal in missiles?

Then if PESA was used in Meteor, why not AESA?

PESA needs gimbal right? If PESA can be used, then AESA must be possible.

Did any BVR-AAM missiles have PESA radars?

Why not? Makes sense to do so atleast in missiles where it needs to course correct at extreme angles.

Thanks for the Ugadi gift.

Damn! What could be better proof than a video showing laser downing drones like Israel did.......Oh wait, we didn't. 1 small video would have been awesome though!

Does the VSHORADS require sustainer for such a short duration (15-20s)? The booster will take you till the end and you just have to control the direction.

It's not like it was travelling over land. Since it was a ship launch, no way to know the exact distance and location it travelled from.

Aren't TDP and Propellant composition sensitive?

Both look too similar. Question: why are the fins at the back curved? Normal shells don't have any fins, so, could these be guided?

Someone here mentioned, for engine testing, you need 4 engine aircrafts. That way, even if your engine fails, the aircraft can land without issues.
