LCH LSP
Why still no LWR , RWR , DIRCM , CMDS to be seen on the LCH ?

Pralay or shaurya variant.Vehicle ka hawa kiyal jayega
This is a single missile launcher instead of a multiple rack one.Pralay or shaurya variant.
Yeah, that's why my guess.This is a single missile launcher instead of a multiple rack one.
Look like a THAAD type interceptor in making.View attachment 60915
Looks like a new rail launched rocket / missile under development
Also interesting thing to note is the absence of control surfaces ( fins ).
This is something I am always agree with. Testing will go on until all options of import will exhaust.its testings would go on and on and on
Here only Company name is enough.Because it has been made by MBDA.
Scientist pilots?? Except Firing, could you please tell what else these pilots do which cant be done by Missile development team ?? Please, don't say tactics because they can be draw by missiles specifications. Neither it come under development process.Moreover, IAF would have access to the documentation of Rafale scientists pilots who tested and validated it on Rafale for a decade.
So what category does MICA missile fall under?? Immature or under trials or Matured ??But look at MICA. Its testing aboard MKI has started.
Ya !! of course DRDO don't have such research data as they were playing LUDOBut these systems has a backing of decades of relative research behind them as well as tests to prove their mettle which sadly Astra lacks.
Is Astra is matured for MKI or not??So you could go on and cry as much as you want. But IAF wants to use Astra across all the platforms available and DRDO too designed it for that unlike Meteor. So its testings would go on and on and on unless it gets validated on all the platforms in IAF.
Nice catch , could be a possibility
But THAAD is not rail launched.Nice catch , could be a possibility
Mid range 150 to 200 km? To fill the Gap between S 400 and Aakash?
What has the missile in question got to do with thaad which is an American missile , be it rail launched or not ?But THAAD is not rail launched.
This one is a missile not a rocket ( confirmed it )View attachment 60915

Well, Iran & North Korea is doing pretty well against USAWe are not talking about conflict with Pakistan or Somalia but an technologically advanced country like the US, Russia or China(in about a decade or so). And how the hell will you bomb the shit out of the US when we are 10,000km(appx) away from them but their aircraft carriers can be next door to us and when they have many bases in the Indian Ocean area. We do not even have a 1000km cruise missile(only now there are reports of Nirbhay being deployed in small numbers) and our long range ballistic missile arsenal is less than 25 and used exclusively for nuclear weapons delivery.
No, need to approach US mainland, simply approach from where USA approach to you.If we are talking of conventional warfare we cannot even approach near the US but they can sit on your head here. Do you even recognise the asymmetry.
If hypothetical worst case scenerio arrives then why you not simply nuke them ?Mr Einstein, I am talking about a hypothetical war with the US in the future and not a war with Maldives. May never happen but should we not plan for worst case scenarios considering that the US Seventh Fleet came close to bombing us in the 1971 war.
So does we ? Our ICBM, SLBM, SSN & SSBN, BMD, HSTDV, LRCM, SFDRAAM is not for time pass activities.I am sure that the US has wargamed a future possible war with India though they will not admit it. All countries do prepare for various contingencies.
Means it would be only for Republic Day Parade.If the enemy planes fire stand off missiles and munitions from several hundred kilometres away without violating our airspace then obviously we will not be firing nuclear tipped Sams at them. I was talking about our airspace being violated. Is it so difficult to understand.
Which already proved obsolete even in 70s.The use of nuclear tipped Sams is envisaged in a particular situation where our air defence network is unable to adequately respond to an enemy air attack and our vital institutions are under threat.
You are proposing N-SAM, which uses Radar for Search, Track & Guidance. In SEAD mission opponent use Anti Radiation Missile to take out Radars.What is the connection between an nuclear bomb explosion and anti radiation missiles. A nuclear bomb releases strong radiation but how will a anti radiation missile home in on a nuclear bomb. As far as I know anti radiation missiles are used to take out radars.
Why do you not quote any report of effect of 0.2 Kn nuclear warhead for city like Mumbai or Chennai.Have you taken the trouble to read on effects of nuclear bombs. Especially low yield tactical nuclear warheads. There is a lot of information available on the net. I was only stating that the effect of a 0.2kn bomb is very different from that of a 20 kn bomb. Nuclear artillery has been around for decades and a nuclear artillery shell does not destroy a city. Please read up on various types of nuclear weapons.
Even Air Travel polution is not enough you wants to burst 1000s of mini nukes in our own sky ?The Hiroshima nuclear bomb was dropped at a height of about 600 metres above the surface which is approximately 2000 feet. Modern combat aircraft fly even higher than 50,000 feet. So if the invading planes were at height of 40,000 feet our nuclear Sam would also explode around that altitude. So to say that all nuclear bombs are air bursts is over simplifying it.
You are hypotheticaly creating worst case scenerio for India & still against using Nuclear Weapons ?In a conventional war you will never use an 12,000km ICBM to bomb the enemy. Usually IRBM's and ICBM 's are used for nuclear weapons delivery. Why are you getting confused and bringing in strategic weapons.
Sir, there is Bungalow for improvement.Appreciate your backing for a strong defence capability for India. Obviously there is room for improvement.
300 mm BM-30 replacement?This one is a missile not a rocket ( confirmed it )
[/QUOTE]Well, Iran & North Korea is doing pretty well against USA
No, need to approach US mainland, simply approach from where USA approach to you.
They didn't launch invasion from US mainland.

Mind you that you need 100s of Missiles to protect a single Metropolis.

Money burnt on faulty ammo could have bought us 100 new Howitzers, fumes Army
Air Force buys five times more expensive UAV engines: CAG
Don't you think we should start working on masking & camouflaging our installations/launchers as random crap?Guess for which mizzile be this ?

This is cool. But may be a camouflage that matches the terrain will be best suited for Indian borders.Don't you think we should start working on masking & camouflaging our installations/launchers as random crap?
