Nope ,not that issue ,but more of a risk factor , they took too much liberty with design

Yea
They f'ed up in design
Good thing is now they will know what not to do

A direct-ascent ASAT is ground-launched. A co-orbital ASAT, on the hand, is space-based, in an orbit similar to the target which it can acquire after it receives an order remotely. But, such co-orbital ASATs have a dual use in that they can also be used for space situational awareness (SSA) activities. A Secure World Foundation report last year noted that Russia’s space based ASAT program “Burevestnik,” active since 2011, consists of four COSMOS satellites that are designed to provide the country SSA capabilities but “may play a supporting role for other counterspace weapons.” These findings that were corroborated in a different report produced by Center for Strategic and International Studies. (BreakingDefense has a nice summary of both reports here.)

Russia Tests Anti-Satellite Missile: US

This is the third Russian ASAT test this year.

Ideally India should work on Robotic arm that China tested few months ago. It can grab a satelite and throw it into dead orbit, thus disabling satellite without creating debris.

4th test must happen
Soon
Hope they get it right

About what ?

 

[THESIS THORON]

that will give us some serious space capability

 

[India Super Power]

This is serious and wonderful development if true
Guess when would it happen
After that Harris chutiyapa I don't think we will announce it like rest of the few tests

 

[THESIS THORON]

co orbital asat

Regarding ghatak ucav
10 tonne(or more)Full scaled Prototype is already fabricated in pieces
With control surface being tested
But is currently without engine because dry kaveri is not tested yet
That is why I said the sooner dry kaveri attains initial flight release certification sooner ghatak takes ff
Ghatak and swift are simultaneously being manufactured
There was news months back that 3rd prototype of swift is under fabrication(imo it would've been in advanced stage till now)

PS, won't India better off with a heavy bomber for launching such weapons? We have thermobaric weapons (vaccum bomb) too to make something like FOAB.

Sir did we develop a thermobaric round for our carl Gustav too.

I get the feeling that there will be no publicity of this going forward.. Other than leaked pics.

 

[Corvus Splendens]

We have already tested our arsenal, so lets ban this activity and screw anyone who tries to meet parity with us.

Said it in past will say it again makes little sense to fly a unproven design with an unproven engine specially in a low risk tolerance country like india ..we should import some engine and integrate dry kaveri when its ready

Ultimately that only is going to happen....The overpromising DRDO will take more time to develop Dry Kaveri and ultimately government will be left with no option except to buy Phoren maaal and atlast we will end up in wasting time and money. DRDO labs should invent Proactive Tablets whole India is lacking that...

Destruction of BrahMos is just mind-boggling everytime I see it. Hits at sea-level, punches straight through like a bullet, that too with an inert warhead.

 

[sanghi neta]

with warhead on brahmos that ship would be cut in two easily and sunk

i really like the attack point of brahmos
straight to the hull

[Chinmoy]

It has same number of control surface as Python.

 

[Chinmoy]

Indias anti bomber missile.
Now chinee h 6 will have hard time entering our airspace in case of a war.

Its not an AAM, but an ASM.
