    Astra BVRAAM

    Why do you think I implicitly mentioned " just for the sake of generalization " and " majority of WVRAAMs " and " majority of BVRAAMs " ? FYI NEZ is the volume of space within which the missile has enough kinematic energy to intercept the target irrespective of any evasive maneuver the target...

    Astra BVRAAM

    Who said higher the range higher the NEZ ? There is no connection of higher range with higher NEZ as you said. Just for the sake of generalization majority of WVRAAMs have much better NEZ than majority of BVRAAMs. What IAF will do ultimately is upto them , cannot predict it . But as a rule...

    Astra BVRAAM

    Seriously ? Astra mk1 has its own role defined by its capabilities eg range , flight envelope , NEZ , propulsion system etc Astra MK2 has its own role defined by its capabilities eg range , flight envelope , NEZ , propulsion system etc So will be Astra mk3 IAF will operate all 3 concurrently...

    Astra BVRAAM

    I elaborated my previous post. I am not mixing radar guidance with radar homing . Aircraft onboard radar does not guide ASTRA. The onboard radar of aircraft simply inputs guidance track data to the missile for mid course guidence. Nothing more nothing less. INS is to put the missile in sync...

    Astra BVRAAM

    Seriously bro ? ASTRA is not radar guided ? Then what is the onboard radar for ? INS and midcourse guidance and after that what ? ASTRA homes on its target by using its INS and mid course guidence ? Or by using its onboard radar ? All 3 the shooter aircraft , the missile and the target...

    Astra BVRAAM

    I will beg to differ kindof Any radar guided missile is not an optimal solution for use as a CCM . but nevertheless it is the next best option in LOBL mode if one runs out of IR/IIR CCMs. So ASTRA in its current form is not the optimal solution for use as a CCM but if situation demands it is...

    Sir why not Google for ASTRA brochure published by drdo in the first place ? Always seek the original source for authentic information. India of late has become a WhatsApp , utube , twitter University hence the deluge of stupidity and misinformation in the country. Then you would have realised...

    Developing a missile is half the hurdle Productionising the same is the other half. One can develop a system in lab and the same in a dedicated production facility , but one cannot expect the same level of performance or quality always unless the production facilities are certified and vetted...

    Astra BVRAAM

    Importantly the operational tactics associated with these missiles are very mature , vetted and still evolving . Hardware is simply the means to allow tactics , and tactics is the final means to an end (kill).

    Astra BVRAAM

    I have always maintained comparison of weapon systems is a exercise in futility Vital parameters will always remain classified or downgraded. Figures given by OEMs are always obscure with respect to operational conditions which facilitates the overall capability and performance spectrum...
