Bdw in current stage ....it's impossible to be integrate all su30 s with astra.....
As the production has just started
And it will be done in batches
Again atleast our su30s in front line should have an astra atleast...as it is superior to chineese pl10 ,sd 10 and amraam c ....
Bdw a missile is going to be tested from December 21 to 25 with
Max range of 110 km ...
Many are speculating ..it's astra ....let's see
My speculation is that ....it might be an astra variant ..or astra from a new platform
Let's see
Bdw astra mk1 UT will be in user trail for 6 months....bdw I don't what UT means here....
Might be astra with infrared seeker... might be an ejector lunched
Nothing is known
Bdw might not be the original astra ...as it has cleared the user trial already
Ya 4 sukhois are being transferred by iaf for astra mk2 modification..........bdw its tail nos are also known.....
Bdw from day one atleast 2 su30 are capable of firing a new weapon type
For example from day one 2 su30 s are modified for astra ...2 for ngarm 2 for rudram 2....2 for sfdr ..2 for...
Limited information available on astra ir.....and the I have not seen the claimed range any where .......
Again drdo should cut the fuel...to reduce the weight of the missile... otherwise it cannot be carried by outer Pylon s ....or also not in twin rack configuration....
Ya ...also able to carry spj pod which is 100 kg....also a ccm...with dual pylon config...
Age age dekho hota hay kya...
The Tejas which was decided to only fire r73....now capable of firing derby...in few months it willl fire a 110 km bvr astra .....
That's the profit when you have indigenous...
Guys no confusion
50 lsp astra s were ordered,50 units of Astra BVR-AAM to be used for testing, trials, and integration into other fighter aircraft in near future and to also to niggle out production issues at early stages...
All fighter jets will get astra
As per my info...
Su30,mig29 and Tejas will be armed with astra
Su30 alredy armed
Astra integration going on with Tejas
Recently production ofastra cleared for mig29(don't know integration is on or not)
Subsequently mirage is not in the priority list
Drdo site says helina is being inducted by ia
And dhruvstra is being inducted by iaf
Also qrsam being inducted by ia
Any info
Sry guys I am going off topic
