here is the JV version of LAHAT.

Good find.

I will highlight, "Rocket propulsion of the missile is initiated after a safe distance from the launch post," and "Ejection Charge followed by Boost and Sustain rocket propulsion."

Buttresses my suspicion that it is capable of being initiated after being propelled by an auxiliary force:

The flames have different colours, so they cannot be from the same source or propellant. Anyway, it is not a big deal, as long as the missile does its job.

that is my scan, from my imageshack account.


now match this with specification of LAHAT from Wiki

CLGM is 18.5 kg in weight.

so CLGM is heavy and made for Indian conditions and requirement.

What is CLGM? Canister Launched Guided Missile?

 

[sayareakd]

Kunal sir have you talk to Arjun crew at the expo.

@Kunal and others

What use of a tank which has no ammunition as stated in CAG report and Chiefs letter to PM.

Why are you keeping this thread up for that DODO ? This tank should be marched in the streets of Delhi as civilians would not be afraid knowing fully well that it has no ammunition !!

 

[sayareakd]

that info is about intensive use of firepower, plus OFB had some issues with T90S tank fire control as russians have not shared their source code, therefore local ammo of OFB was unable to fire from the tank, Arjun tank ammo is locally made, therefore i dont think there will be any issue for that.

 

[pmaitra]

Mr. Sayare, what is CLGM?

 

[Apollyon]

Mr. Sayare, what is CLGM?

Cannon Launched Guided Missile ... IIRC ...

I see. Thanks. I think we tend to use acronyms all too often without knowing what they stand for.

[Kunal Biswas]

Re-deigning of the turret and chassis mainly..

 

[sayareakd]

clgm is modified LAHAT missile made as per our requirement under JV.

 

[sayareakd]

they need to put next generation BMS on arjun very fast if they want it to be very potent takn to take on all land threats.

LAHAT is 105mm calliber GLATGM, this is why when fired from 120mm gun, it need sabot, these are these fragments seen on photo after firing LAHAT, sabot petals.

@Kunal, will any tank ever cross the Indian border ?? All your T-90 and Arjun will take retirement from garages only like the previous three generations.
