the down load was too bulky. i answered on the basis of your "field tested" observation. just saw the relevant portion from the link. that clarifies. that is good. but why they are not fielded?? are the new nags being equipped with them?? any info??

yes it says so. but have they been successful?? IMO, there are some hiccups - which is only natural and not insurmountable. they will get over it. in case they have overcome those, then HELINA (LCH) and the NAG (Namica) will start sporting them soon. that would be great. btw thanks again for...

thanks Nitesh for the info. if you read my post, i never contested that MMW seeker was not developed. i said it is still not operational due to some issues (may be integration or effectiveness - no idea really), which i am sure they will get over in the coming days.

MMW seeker is not yet operational. they are still working on it. however according to unconfirmed rumours IIR's are already being manufactured at BEL. considering PAD/ASTRA/NAG sporting them only adds to the rumours!!! however it is known all along Israel is helping out BEL in this. some...

Maitri was supposed to be based on TRISHUL which had some successes and some failures. somehow it has not worked. that is why DRDO wanted to engage MBDA. as for Trishul itself it was a short range (9km), quick reaction missile...

i am not answering to satisfy you. the point that it is a debate means people have divergent views. neither of us is the judge here nor is the forum a court. clear?? how does asking the same thing which has been answered (satisfactorily or otherwise) makes sense?? point is i have not...

all your points have been answered in my previous posts. it would be better if you do not ask the same questions which have been answered even if they were not to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIM-104_Patriot there can be different versions of the same missile system. does not...

how come you are helping your cause by portraying Akash is not cutting edge, RE of SA-6 while patriot missile is miles ahead. i have never said anything of that sort. i pointed a failure of patriot only to show - 'even systems created by the leader of the world are also prone to failures'...

my original comment on this was more a sarcastic one on army's history of anti drdo bias. when IAF understood the value of Akash and ordered more, army has jumped in. still proves a point for Akash. so what does this prove inspite of the great timeline...

Armand, it does not affect AKASH or SPYDER. MAITRI is supposed to be SR-SAM. some pictures here and links. Here's the Maitri short-range surface to air missile (SR-SAM) on display at the MBDA stall. This is the programme that succeeds the defunct Trishul shipborne point-defence...

it is LF. only speaks of volumes of our scientists.

i know that. i was only referring to the history of the army's attitude to drdo. they ordered only when IAF added more of them. why? knowing how the patriots have performed, i would rather beleive our scientists. firang does not mean they are always good. number of lauchers have nothing to...

check my previous the post. heard of Lakshya?? IAF has validated Akash's ECCM and it's jam proof capability. check my previous post.

i did not ask you to respect them. my point was if somebody has done a good job, even if you don't feel like respecting them, atleast don't crticise them. yes, with our army going full throttle inducting all of them right?? point is irrespective of an equipment being indian or foreign...

sorry sir. that is not true. Akash has enviable record of 9/9 hits in trials. not many can boast of that. http://www.business-standard.com/india/news/army-warmsto-akash-missile/375634/ just because it is DRDO product does not mean it is not cutting edge!! it is also disrespect to indian...

are you implying that Akash is trash?? and it is being inducted because Mr. Anthony wants it like that??

i guess they would be working on it already. http://akashsam.com/about.htm also of interest - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akash_missile

you are right. radar is from BEL bengaluru and missile from BDL hyderabad. must be typo.
