@Karthi bro, cud u explain how meta-material can be used in electro-magnetic suppression??

Much better information on domestic drone tech & industry from Bharat Shakti than the previous surya Gangadhar video..

I was hoping for years that these kind of tech & industry related videos come from Saurav Jha, thankfully Nitin Gokhale has picked up the mantle. If Nitin Gokhale has bandwidth, this defence tech & industry could be a separate stream for his media house.

Pralay Missile have 350kg and 700kg payload options, not 500-1000kg payload. Those fake infos in the brochure is intentional. Range claim & weight of the missile in the brochure is too distorted (by a considerable margin). I know the actual weight of Pralay Missile, but imma not disclose it.

Cutting the payload in half, from 1 ton to 0.5 ton, and achieving an increase of 50km (350km to 400km) is preposterous.

that dude chinmoy is always hell bent on insulting DRDO whenever possible. you can look his previous posts too. leave him to be.
he must be suffering from "pharenism" : someone who suffers at the thought of atma nirbhar bharat. and always supports pharen maal/equipment for the military.

 

[BlackViking]

Spoiler

81 Ashok Leyland trucks were ordered for missiles

The tractor is volvo FH16 so A 4/5 TEL, probably

 

[Apollyon]

Yeah Right. 11 Ton.

Let's have a look at one of the obsolete missile, which DRDO is still developing and testing.

A 5 ton missile carrying a 500kg warhead travels 450 km. But a 11 ton missile carrying same payload weight travels 4 times the distance. I wonder why DRDO is working on such a outdated missile? I believe they should trim down its weight to around 2 or 2.5 ton.

Moreoever, this half the A3 weight terms which many are using, lets have a look at that too.

This is a report from last A3 test.

Weight of A3 has been reduced, but which roohani tech brought down the weight from 48 ton to 22 ton?

May be just maybe, Agni missiles are integral to our nuclear deterrence and Pralay is just a tactical missile.

So due to budget constraints we may be using higher-end expensive technology for our most important systems and lower-end cheap to mass produce technology for something which will be mass produced in atleast low thousands to replace old Prithvi missiles.

Is this so hard to think of?

nah. cost is not the reason.

pralay is a tactical ballistic missile, that means it is highly manoeuvrable missile.
making movements to a ballistic missile moving at 20 Mach requires a lot of fuel. hence the extra weight for the rocket motor.

 

[lcafanboy]

The only strategic missiles which remains in a ready to fire position are SLBMs. Even the road/train mobile missiles are needed to be mated with warhead before launch if those are nuke warheads.

Not the canisterized and silo ones. Canisterized/Silo missiles are ready to use and are already mated with warheads...

 

[Dark Sorrow]

Is this a in-house development?

No, its developed by Rafael. Locally assembled by astrafaelcomsys using knock down kits.

+100.

Nothing ever is truly disclosed about our nuke and missiles program.

Similarly idiots make predictions that india only has 150 nuke warheads while also claiming india is producing too much uranium ! But they won't answer where is all that uranium going!!!

Strange are ways of estimation. Lol.

 

[Ajax01]

That metamaterial has really good specs.

 

[VelociRaptor]

 

[Whitecollar]

IAF has started to receive the RVV-SD or R-77-1 BVR from Russia. Is the seeker on RVV-SD the same RF seeker as on older RVV-AE??

 

[Chinmoy]

This can't be true unless that mating is sort of like "plugging in"....there must be some that are deployable in seconds or few minutes at max?

No. There are few protocols which you need to follow with strategic nukes. You don't keep the warhead and missile mated all the time. Only when you get go ahead for a nuke launch, you start mating it.

It means all these 11 ton weight of Agni-P is also a distorted fact.

Wow..... The tactical missiles, which are more practical in real war scenario need not be advance enough, but the strategic ones which is unlikely to see any action needs to be advance.

It is important to cut the mass of a 2000 km nuke carrying strategic missile which you would be deploying in your hinterland. But at the same time it is not important to do the same for a missile which you would be deploying in inhospitable terrain that too in 6 or 4 missile per TEL configuration.

What should I say about this thought process?

 

[Chinmoy]

Not the canisterized and silo ones. Canisterized/Silo missiles are ready to use and are already mated with warheads...

Wrong info. You don't keep on driving the trucks carrying cannister across the length and breadth of the nation 12 month a year. This is the reason why we have seen cannister carriers.

As far as Silos are concerned, they too are kept in a unmated state.

IA today going to induct the first batch of 12 indigenously designed & developed Short Span Bridging systems into the Corps of Engineers.

By absorbing the EM waves .
