This is plain tail unit, for stability of bomb after being dropped so it has predictable trajectory. Passive stabilisation with fins (like an arrow) . JDAM integration is for export potential.

Why do we need jdam when hsld is present?
Makes for export and maybe for emergency order(seems unrealistic)

Guud Kuesion.....

Look at the weight category of the bomb for which we have prepared Guidance kit. They are of 450 kg and 900 kg. With Guidance kit, the 450 kg bomb weighs around 520 to 530 kg. The 900 kg becomes 1000 kg.

Now have a look at Tejas payload category. How many such bombs Tejas could carry at a time? On other hand how many 250 or 270 kg JDAM bomb it could carry in similar configuration?

It would for sure help in export market, but it would also solve our own purpose at the same time.

Have Indigenous kit been ordered? I don't remember it being in production.

Since assm hammer was also considered for lca(hammer is rocket powerdand also has 350kg and 250), so I thought jdam wudnt be needed.

Just remembered the fact that assm cost 5x jdam, so makes sense.

Can Someone tell me, how wud LCH, without having any fire control radar, wud be able to lock target for sant atgm??

I thinks it's fired at the general direction of the target and after certain distance the on board sensor mmw will guide it.

TARA seems to be of 250-270 kgs range, so.........
Though AASM makes sense, but jdam?

Not yet.

We have yet to test TAARA. When you are making up the squadron, you want in service weapons to go into it rather then wait for a developmental project.

We paid 400 crores more for each apache ...... 6 * 400 crore = 2400 crores


In 2015, 22 Apaches now completely delivered to the IAF cost INR 14,910 crores or US $2.1 billion, but now for the follow-on IA contract of six choppers, which is a pitifully small number, India will shell out INR 6,600 crores or roughly US $890 million. Indeed, a platform which should have cost an estimated INR 678 crores per chopper ended up costing INR 1,100 crores for the IA because the IAF and the IA did not make the buy collectively, which would have kept the price of each AH-64E well under INR 1000 crores and saved the Indian exchequer good money.

Breh, they are adding whole su30 fleet of iaf in 1.5 yrs, for which we have taken 20yrs to make

Such level of mass production must have reduced the cost of f35 ... Any data u have ?

[AUSTERLITZ]

Lots of speculation by members here about MRSAM, my two cents.

Range b/w 80-100 km, based on LRSAM and similarities with MRSAM tested recently.

Speed Mach 2 or whereabouts for the most part. Could be hypersonic for part of the duration in shorter ranges, but for most of the time no.

Mach 2 initial phase,over mach 5 after dual pulse motor kicks in.

AFAIK it has both LOAL and lock before launch. But testing was from Mi17, which does have radars. So not entirely sure if it can be added to LCH.
