Russia had offered to upgrade pichora.

Now , I think we must focus more on anti missile system than anti aircrfat system. With the arrival of LRSAM and S 400, our enmy will think to send their aircraft only if they are full. Our focus should solley be on building a robust ABM like arrow 3 and above. In first, we must ope rationalize AAD and PAD.

Low level quick reaction Sam is a battlefield weapon, that is the reason it has high mobility. Cruise missile is not a big issue on battlefield. It is used against aircraft and helicopters. I think modernized missiles for osa can shoot down cruise missiles.

For fixed installations, Radar directed gun can shoot a cruise missile.

ABM system are very expensive and induction will be slow.

No matter how costly they may be. The need of hour is ABM . As I said , now no plane dare to close come to our border in wake of our highly potent BMDS.

lol ..tell me what is battlefield .............................

You need good coordinates plus you may have cheaper weapons to hit at close range.

lol ..tell me what is battlefield .............................

Oh goddamn smarty ass again! The KING OF DEFENCE.

 

[Yumdoot]

So now that should bury all doubts. Makes sense to double production now that nearly all of launchers are to get delivered in next couple of years.

India’s Missile Programme in Peril as Army Dumps Rs 1,000 Cr Akash Missiles

Published March 20, 2016


SOURCE : EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE



There it is, the sound of another prestigious ‘Make in India’ product being blasted out of the sky. After 32 years and over `1,000 crore later, the Akash missile system, crafted by India’s white elephant DRDO to protect the country from possible aerial threats, has been declared a dud by the Indian Army. Now, the army is shopping for a suitable alternative abroad by terming the indigenously developed missile as ‘inadequate to meet the army’s requirement in a desired time frame’.

The move not only exposes India’s missile defence vulnerability but also reveals the weakness in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pet ‘Make in India’ push. To counter Akash, Pakistan has recently inducted its FM-90 air defence missile system, procured from PLA China, while on eastern front, China has HQ-7.

This also brings into the shadow the fate and capability of India’s missile programme worth over Rs 70,000 crore, and over a dozen missiles. It also raises the question of relevance and affordability of the country’s premier defence research agency whose only notable successes have been packaged pickles or neem-based vaginal contraceptive cream.



Army headquarters is in process of acquiring nearly 2,000 air defence missiles to raise its two regiments with an estimated cost of `10,000 crore. On the basis of technical evaluation, three firms from Russia, Israel and Sweden are in competition to supply short-range missiles. In reply to The Sunday Standard, Army headquarters has claimed that the “targeted short-range surface-to-air missile (SRSAM) system is technologically and operationally superior to the Akash missile system, which DRDO took almost five years to develop.” Further, the cost of the targeted SRSAM project is 70 per cent of the Akash missile system.

In contract, in May 2015, Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag was all praise for Akash missiles.

The cost of the targeted SRSAM project that the Indian Army is planning to acquire from abroad is 70 per cent of the Akash missile system.

In contract, in May 2015, Army Chief General Dalbir Singh Suhag, while inducting two regiments of Akash missiles, had said: “It is a matter of great pride for the nation that today indigenous state-of-the-art ‘Akash’ air defence weapon system is being inducted into the Indian Army. The capability that we have with this system will ensure that it takes care of vulnerability of our assets. Akash is a step towards self-realisation of indigenisation”.

Akash is an indigenously developed supersonic short range surface-to-air missile system with the capability to engage a wide variety of aerial threats like aircraft, helicopters and unmanned aerial vehicles up to a maximum range of 25 km and up to an altitude of 20 km.

The system, which has 96 per cent indigenisation, is capable of simultaneously engaging multiple targets in all weather conditions and is capable of providing comprehensive short-range missile cover to the vulnerable assets in the field force of the Army.

Akash is one of the five core missile systems of the integrated guided missile development programme, launched by DRDO in 1984.

The Army had initially ordered two Akash regiments, with six firing batteries of a project cost of `19,500 crore. But in less than a year, it has changed its opinion on the home-made missile.

“Army has proposed a composite approach of procuring SRSAM from globally and simultenously technological improvement of Akash missile system,” Army headquarters told The Sunday Standard.

When contacted, DRDO officials refused to comment on the army’s claim.

Utter LIES.

The IA has already placed large orders for the Akash as has the IAF-who just made follow-on orders:

Paid media hit job against the DRDO.

If it's a paid media job, it's full of lies and that too against the military.

If this is untrue, the Armed forces should go after this media house and this journo for defamation and false information.

Yeah............ and this expert doesn't know what is Akash. As per him so called failure of Akash (MRSAM) had led Army to look into SRSAM.
