Astra BVRAAM

[Chinmoy]

I know
Do u have any info .. whether helina inducted or not

I could only say about IAF where it is not inducted. As about IA, I only know only what is there in media except some tidbits.

 

[ARVION]

248 Astra ordered.

This does exclude previously ordered 50 LSP and 200 previous ordered's

 

[BON PLAN]

Anti radiation missile during captive trial
It has dual pulse propulsion....astra mk2 will have same dual pulse propulsion

Dual pulse seems the futur of all the tactical classical missile.

 

[Raj Malhotra]

Clearance of 248 Astra Mk1 is only by DAC, so Clearance by CCS and then actual contract are next steps. Though I am slightly perplexed as to why no Astra Orders for LCA. We need almost 400 for IOC, FOC BAtch of LCA MKI

All fighter jets will get astra
As per my info...
Su30,mig29 and Tejas will be armed with astra
Su30 alredy armed
Astra integration going on with Tejas

Recently production ofastra cleared for mig29(don't know integration is on or not)
Subsequently mirage is not in the priority list

 

[vishnugupt]

It was not. This decision of ordering 250+ came only post extensive trial of those 50 LSP. I mentioned it earlier too that order would come only after extensive flight and fire trial of the 50 LSPs.
BTW thos 50 LSP was not just for test from Su30.

Could you please provide us some sort of proof ??when this deal was signed?? 7 rounds were fired during Sep-2018 trial after that they announced will order 50 LSP missiles (Just announcement ). A year later Sep-2019 again missile fired 9 times so please tell me when these 50 missiles were delivered??
What is this extensive trials?? What is IAF doing since 2017 ?? Wasn't all trials happened from Su-30mki?? So what kind of extensive trails??
Why Astra need trails from all platforms?? Are we Developing Astra for jets or developing Jets for Astra?? Who else on earth do trails like this??

These are pure lies flying around that Astra was being integrated with Tejas, Mig29 or any jets.
We all are watching/monitoring Tejas program day to day basis since it's birth but there is not a single pic available. They were just lying. Once again IAF just woke up from a bad dream

Is there precise data about the integration of ASTRA on Rafale? It was rumored.

Not for now ..... Rafale comes with meteor and mica...which are already best.....
Astra 2 will replace meteor some day....

 

[Suhaan]

How about Nirvastra( dushman ko nanga Kar de)

Well you got it answered

Can LCA fire Astra? Never seen a test.
Only seen Su30 firing Astra. Maybe upgraded Mig29 can fire but again no test seen.

Astra mk2 won't replace meteor sfdr will. Astra mk2 is dual pulse like derby ER.

 

[IndianHawk]

Should be on the list of India specific changes.
Meteor shelf life would be preserved as much as possible so Astra + mica can be used in normal patrolling .

Another one to my ignore list. Welcome.

First Mig 29 then Tejas. Ground trials with Mig 29 have already started.

 

[IndianHawk]

First Mig 29 then Tejas. Ground trials with Mig 29 have already started.

Ground trials with Tejas have been going on for a long time with lsp. Lca will get it before mig29.

 

[vishnugupt]

Another one to my ignore list. Welcome.

Thanks. I will be happy if you can show me any proof of trials before India China faceoff.

When Test Pilot for Tejas/LCA program is saying so, then its true
isnt it?

BDL begins initial build of Astra Mk1 BVRAAM

Bharat Dynamic Limited, a PSU build up a whole production line without a order? Either you have a very high regard for our PSUs or you are not aware of their DNA.

Till 2017 IAF was a part of developmental and user trial. Firing a missile from an aircraft in test range is one thing and firing it in real war scenario is another. You have to take in account factors like at what AoA you are launching the missile. What is the behavior of the missile when launched from different AoA. What is the maximum G your fighter could deal with when carrying the missile on different pylons.
All of these tests are carried out by user with the initial LSP batch of missile.
