    That program was and is a dumpster fire. Not something to emulate.

    Too big even without the booster to be a SRSAM IMO. QRSAM is 4.4 meter and 270kg. This looks much bigger and bulkier. Could be AAD replacement? Also didn't Akash MK2 had similar box container?

    Well they are world beaters at that. I remember when India decided to purchase Apaches, PDF inbreds went " Your loss, we have Anza". India bought Rafales, PDF inbreds went "We have JF-17 which is just as good". I wonder if Pakistan is mulling disbanding its infantry since Indian Army has...

    2 sq m at 450 km means that larger objects can be detected at longer range than specified. At least this is what came to my mind when I read the specs.

    No they don't. They come up with asinine requirements all on their own. But the arm twisting part is correct. Step 1 - Create a RFI that no one can fulfill and ask domestic industry to come with a product. Step 2 - Drop the RFI since nobody could come with a solution to a problem that simply...

    Yeh to aur bhi lanat ki baat hai. IAF wallahs designed a number of PGMs. IN wallahs design frigates, destroyers and aircraft carriers. IA, the largest branch of Indian Armed Forces came up with this gorgeous, state of the art technology. Great going boys.

    Wah ustad wah. Log aise hi H&K, FN, Sig ki baateien karte rehte hain. Dum hain to woh log OFB se compete karke bataye. I think its about time OFB start teaching Germans and Belgians how to make proper rifles. My eyes welled up after seeing this. Jai Ho OFB ki. Jai Ho mere desh ke sarkari...

    I vaguely remember that discussion. I think we didn't have the complete information aka the poster then. Are we talking about depressed trajectory here because the 1000 km and 10 minutes I mentioned are all three phases, boost, mid and terminal combined.

    Reached the altitude of 300km in 3 minutes (283 km in 168 to be precise). Can the Gyani folks enlighten me about the BMD applications of it in the Indo-Pak context. Read on the Porki forum that Ghauri took 10 minutes to travel around 1000 km. Plus found this. @porky_kicker @Indx TechStyle

    I don't think it applies to ground based containerised missiles in my opinion. This is probably the result of a viable SAM option.

    I am all for private sector including Kalyani to dive head first into armour development. The more the merrier. But this ALSV is a "what do we have lose" idea. They are not a vehicle manufacturer i.e. don't have a readily available assembly line or skilled manpower from the get go unlike other...

    Dayum that is one ugly thing. Goes to show that Kalyani group has never a made a vehicle in their lifetime. I love Baba Kalyani and his spirit but maybe he should stay out of this game. Contrast this with offerings from actual vehicle manufacturers like Tata, Mahindra and Ashok Leyland.

    You are right. Somebody got bored and made this. If not this is some kind of special purpose missile. Ayudh means warhead in missile tech parlance so maybe the body is a useless distraction.

    It is most certainly a SAM but highly unlikely to be short ranged one like Maitri was supposed to be. Missile looks quite bulky. The 6x6 gave that away.

    Mashallah!!!! Can't wait for pics. I was waiting for this test for years now. HSDTV based tech will act as a cornerstone of first strike options.
