For any effective use of Missile, air-forces around the world have to rely on converged values of data presented by the OEMs in there simulated test with the actual operational param's recorded by the weapons computer. Than a POK is calculated around it. Of course it's made better if an aircraft...

Syria did used Pantsir-S1 to destroy the tomato hawks :biggrin2:

1. Both are susceptible to jamming, in general longer wavelengths difficult to Jam than shorter ones with higher frequency, but longer wavelengths are more susceptible to atmospheric absorption(Rain-fade effect) But it would require more power for the former. 2. They both can be jammed, we...

We can tackle error with more computing hardware and utilize deep learning algorithms to predict the flight path, but again only deep learning methods can do that, and that would require miniaturization of compute hardware that could process such information. Thus you can't fit a super computer...

So finally from paper to prototype, that a good sign, still no high hopes as such projects get overshadowed by bigger and more priority projects. Let's see how it matches up with the likes of BAE systems DEWs. That's the benchmark.

Little by little, my eyes are opening on why the road to being indigenous is the only way we could ward of the monopoly these arms dealers have on us. My estimates are by 2050 we could be independent on three key sectors: 1. Missile Tech 2. Aviation Tech and Manufacturing. 3. Naval Tech and...

I hope we do it using Uttam, then we would have at least some leverage over a Russians from our side. Regarding meteor, we could do bilateral talks for integrating meteor with Tejas and AMCA, by buying again Rafale off the shelf.

We haven't yet mastered miniaturisation of avionics, especially in the seeker dept. Rocket motors are a different thing. Hence the Ku band seeker adopted for Astra is our first major step towards X band. But I am sure our wonderful scientists would do the job. Now if only we give them funds the...

Wait let me put up my jam .... "Queen - Another one bites the dust"! On a side note, those 50 acquisitions to Astra should be made good use for target practise and gathering more data. I still have doubt on the seeker performance though, lets drop some PAF and PLAF to show dominance...

I think it carries fuel but no oxidizer, I mean if we look at range as you mentioned, 100Km it has to carry more fuel, oxidizer would have made it bulky so MBDA came up with such ingenious plan of stat tech.

On the side note, I didn't knew that PAF has AIM 120D AAM RAM in service, this is quite concerning! Further can anybody would tell me that how's MBDA Meteor BVR AAM has an upper hand to currently existing BVR AAM's?

That's why I reasoned it with half the distance with semi-active homing ( Passive homing ) for the first 25-30 Km and if the target is acquired than rest 25-30 Km in active homing. Although I could be wrong as I have no technical details about ASTRA as it's still in test phase and cumulative...
