- OLS provides glide path information to pilot during landing, to pla
aircraft tailhook at the centre of the landing area.

Long range should denote subsonic.
Why ? And which Missile is in this category ?

Nirbhay is currently land attack missile , and no trials for its ship based launch .

It can't be brahmos, as they wouldn't be needing wind tunnel model for it

There is rumor of a Dual Speed Cruise Missile. What if this LR-AShM is this DSCM ?
Could be but I think we need a proper long range subsonic cruise missiles first. Since nirbhay has been declared a tech demonstration only. And itcm is just engine test platform so induction of subsonic missile is a priority.

Complex tech can come a bit later .

Nirbhay was just a tech demonstration.
New missiles is being built by using all the tech proven in nirbhay including sea skimming and anti ship attack capability.

Regarding lauch from naval platforms shouldn't be much difficult as we already launch much bulkier fattter bramhos form naval platforms.

If a missile strikes a ship at its bridge ( including aircraft carrier ) can the ship become inoperable ?

New missile will be designed to be packed in universal VLS being designed for future warships. Which might include fat hypersonic / bramhos NG type missile with combination of LR - ashm. So we need more information about that . Current nirbhay is slightly slimmer than current bramhos.

U should message them and give warning regarding a lawsuit .


So these **** know that they have to give credit
Like I don't care about credit
If someone doesn't give me credit, I'm okay with it
But they have been doing this to others too(a repeated offender)
If the original source is okay with it then not a problem(like I am)
But at many instances I have seen people complaining which is sure to be dealt with.

Hopefully we will be going for universal VLS which should be able to accommodate both anti air and anti ship + land attack in various combinations.

Barak 8 has same diameter as current nirbhay so it will probably stay. Since new missiles are also supposed to similar in width or slimmer.
