Isn't this Mi24?

 

[Love Charger]

Isn't this Mi17?

Seriously ?It's a mi 25

 

[IndianHawk]

Wow so many tests in just few days.
VLSRAM , pinaka ER , pinaka with clustered warhead for area suppression, SANT missile . Bramhos air launch and a notam is still pending.

DRDO is on fire. Shows maturity of Indian missile programs.

Just they test astra mk2 and rudram 2
And then the year would be good

I think they might test astra mk1 with lca first. And nirbhay new version might be tested.

Astra mk2 and rudram 2 will definitely happen in 2022 if not this year.

@porky_kicker says it’s 105mm gun.

I think we already have technology for 105mm rifled tank gun we developed for Arjun before 120mm

2 notams 1 will be a BM agni 1p again maybe

Vijayanta 105mm gun tech (L7A2 gun) is there so they’ve probably built on that for the initial Arjun prototypes

 

[Aditya Ballal]

In what context do you mention the 105 mm gun.?

I didn’t understand your question mate

The perils of modern times we live in.
I was expecting it to actually make the red target circle.

Successful tests carried out for Pinaka Extended Range System, Area Denial Munitions & New Indigenous Fuzes


Posted On: 11 DEC 2021 11:17AM by PIB Delhi



Successful tests of Pinaka Extended Range (Pinaka-ER), Area Denial Munitions (ADM) and indigenously developed fuzes have been carried out at various test ranges. The Pinaka-ER Multi Barrel Rocket Launcher System was successfully tested at Pokharan range. The system is jointly designed by laboratories of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) - Armament Research & Development Establishment (ARDE), Pune and High Energy Materials Research Laboratory (HEMRL), Pune.


The DRDO, after establishing the performance efficacy of the enhanced range Pinaka, transferred the technology of the system to the industry. The Industry Partner has manufactured enhanced Pinaka Mk-1 rockets with DRDO’s handholding during the production and Quality Assurance. In continuation of the Transfer of Technology absorption, rockets developed by the industry have undergone the performance evaluation and quality certification process. The hand holding during the production, quality assurance and launch coordination for bulk production is being provided by the DRDO design team and QA agencies nominated for the system.


The DRDO, along with the Army, conducted series of performance evaluation trials of these industry produced rockets at Field Firing Ranges during the last three days. In these trials, enhanced range Pinaka rockets were test fired at different ranges with various warhead capabilities. All the trial objectives were met satisfactorily. A number of 24 rockets were fired for different ranges and warhead capabilities to meet the objectives of accuracy and consistency. With this, the initial phase of technology absorption of Pinaka-ER by the Industry Partner has successfully been completed making the Industry Partner ready for series production of the rocket system.


The Pinaka-ER is the upgraded version of earlier Pinaka version which has been in service with the Indian Army for the last decade. The system has been designed in the light of emerging requirements with advanced technologies enhancing the range.


The Area Denial Munition (ADM) variants of munition designed by the ARDE, Pune for Pinaka and manufactured by the industry partners under technology transfer were successfully carried out at Pokhran Field Firing Ranges. These trials are part of performance evaluation under technology absorption.


The indigenously-developed proximity fuzes for Pinaka rockets have also been tested. The ARDE, Pune has developed different fuzes for Pinaka rocket for different types of applications. After design validation trials, dynamic performance evaluation of these fuzes have been evaluated with flight testing. Consistency in performance of fuzes has been established in consecutive flight trials.


These has been developed through dedicated indigenous R&D efforts for the first time in the country. These indigenously developed fuzes will replace the imported fuzes and save foreign exchange. The ARDE has also designed miniaturised fuzes for ADMs. Performance of dual-purpose Direct-Action Self Destruction (DASD) & Anti-Tank Munition (ATM) fuzes were evaluated during the current flight trials and the results were satisfactory. All the mission objectives were successfully in all the above trials.

DRDO & Indian Air Force successfully flight-test indigenous Stand-Off Anti-Tank Missile


Posted On: 11 DEC 2021 5:49PM by PIB Delhi



Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Indian Air Force (IAF) flight-tested the indigenously designed and developed Helicopter launched Stand-off Anti-tank (SANT) Missile from Pokhran ranges on December 11, 2021. The flight-test was successful in meeting all its mission objectives. The release mechanism, advanced guidance and tracking algorithms, all avionics with integrated software, performed satisfactorily and tracking systems monitored all mission events. The missile is equipped with a state-of-the-art MMW seeker which provides high precision strike capability from a safe distance. The weapon can neutralise targets in a range up to 10 kms.


The SANT missile has been designed and developed by Research Centre Imarat (RCI), Hyderabad in coordination with other DRDO labs and participation from industries. This is the third in the series of indigenous stand-off weapons to be tested in recent times after long range bomb and smart anti airfield weapon for strengthening the arsenal of IAF. The indigenous development of various configurations for different applications with advanced technologies is a firm march towards ‘Aatmanirbharta’ in defence.


Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has congratulated the team associated with the mission. Secretary Department of Defence R&D and Chairman DRDO Dr G Satheesh Reddy said the successful flight test of SANT missile would further bolster the indigenous defence capabilities.

I was expecting it to actually make the red target circle.

Me to, at first I was like did it miss it then i looked at the bottom lol.

Yall I don't get it. Cud someone explain it to me??

At the bottom of the "target" you can see a reflector, If I remember correctly it is called as corner reflector, the missile actually targeted it. There was no need for that big red dot.

Yes you are correct,that corner reflector will be the target for Millimetric wave radar not that round painted banner..for brahmose they usually use bigger corner reflector than this.

I Was aware of the corner reflector

I thought there was something behind the the Bullseye.

Thank you

 

[Sir pe tapla]

So hopefully now army and airforce orders LCH in large numbers
