Isn't it already inducted? To test fire kiska?

Series production from next year, last test is this one ig.

It's worked well, 2x range compared to initial estimates. Great development.

If enemy uses costly SAM to intercept guided rockets, then we can fire fake rockets without warhead in it to exhaust their SAM's before hitting them with real rockets and missiles with deadly warheads right?

Seems to be a good strategy, but such Strategy will be used by our neighbors as well.
-
But what you have written makes a lot of sense as well. It's a good strategy in my opinion.
-
We must fire cheap fake rockets with fake warhead or payload and the enemy will fire real Missiles to intercept it and it will be a costly thing for the enemy.

Anyways as I said again, the listed strategy of yours will be used by Pakistan and China as well, for that we must develop a counter at the same time.

Nah. Warheads cost much less than missile, easier to use swarm uavs as sacrificial bait.

I do believe that. Swarm Drones can overhelm most air defence systems by making these Missile batteries exhaust their Missiles.

In my opinion we should use cheap Drones Which can mimic the RCS of a small Fighter Aircraft and Fool the Air defence System into making it think that's a fighter aircraft and make it fire it's missiles.

Do this repeatedly and make the Enemy Air defense exhaust it's Missiles as much as you can and than after that attack the Air defence System with Missiles(Preferably Anti Radiation Missiles like Rudram) and Neutralise it.

This is atleast the Scenario which I have listed.
(Feel free to share your Thoughts on this)

Actually, don't we have abhyas uav that does exactly that? It mimics rcs of various systems.... if we can tune it into a dummy for Sam saturation, would be a game changer.

Yeah Exactly! I also thought so like that, or maybe if we are going to use regular drones than They should be flying so close together that they appear to be one large RCS target. Anyways Abhyas is a good choice because it's a high-speed expendable aerial target.
With some Necessary modifications(If any required) it could do the Job well I suppose

This video has some details- he is reporting an ex VCAS is it's CMD. That should mean good things.

Leadership -

Chairman & Managing Director Air Marshal Shirish B Deo PVSM AVSM VM VSM ADC(Retd.) Air Marshal SB Deo served a sterling 40 years in the Indian Air Force during which he has clocked over 4000 hours in a variety of fighter aircraft. He is a qualified flying instructor and has instructed at the IAF...

jsrdynamics.in

In talks with European company to provide highly specific impulse propellant. Warhead made in-house. Fighter launched variant also in the pipeline.

The video has no extra information. They just copied everything from that TOI article . Anyway i just hope they find success in this country.

 

[Kalkioftoday]

Can anyone here have any information regarding our LGBs, Glide bombs and other PGMs? Are they already inducted or it was just a fun project? I don't know why but PGMs are least talked about systems here even though they are one of the most important systems in any war. Never seen Tejas carrying Gaurav, Gautam or HSLD

All PGMs you have heard of except mlpgm and sudarshan lgb are going to be inducted in IAF. I think there was news of SAAW being ordered. Other Gps bombs lrgb were planned to be inducted in 2022-23. There has been no new news about PGHSLD.
But why gaurav and PGHSLD, when both are almost similar bombs? I mean PGHSLD can do same work as Gaurav right.

what do you guys think about space based kill vehicle?? (kv on a satelite)

kv has a solid rocket motor ??

Like MALD of USA?

More or less. Abhyas is currently a ground based platform, so mimicking cruise/ballistic missiles should be easier. It could be modified suitably to be air lanched as well IG.

yes very effective it wud be, good idea!

does drdo has any such plans for abhayas

No idea. I dont think they have bothered yet, since we will likely be operating in Indian airspace in a possible conflict with china and paki air defences are
