Sir

120 mm APFSDS round for Arjun.

, I read that kalyani folks supply the body of arty shells to the OfB ?
Any info about ammunition produced by kalyani ?

 

[Chinmoy]

Asking about the nameplate performance numbers .. I have seen the OFB one was wondering if they improved on it .

580/600 mm RHA DOP at 2km.

 

[Physx32]

If our light tank turns out to be 105mm cannon with K9 hull, that would be a disaster

Is DRDO using K9 chassis or hull for our light tank? Can chassis and hull be used interchangeably?

Then I believe we should blame BF for all faulty ammo by OFB.

 

[ezsasa]

I got it.
But when Kalyani got involved in LSP of ASMI? Looking at Kalyani PR, they would have shouted at top of their voice if it would have happened.

Anyway, while looking for the production partners, I found something interesting.

Looks familiar?

on why they are not publicising, can only speculate if it has something to do with their license. last i check they don't have license for 9mm.

JVPC is officially part of their product portfolio.

Actually the JVPC part which I shared is from meisteryarms. BF has no role in it.

It seems BF is just doing classic screwdriver giri.

i have stopped looking down on screwdriver giri for a few months now.
i think i see the value in the concept, as long as it happens outside of DPSUs.

Well, that company is also Indian, so plus point IG.

Yes. No doubt in it.

My only point is, companies like meisteryarms are doing their part on the much needed manufacturing and supply chain without any limelight. On other hand we have BF who is more active in PR and media management then actual job in hand. Even their version of ATAGS is 40% indigenous on price factor. But they would always be on forefront in SM and MSM. These sure do have its own negative effect.

DRDO next gen Passive Homing Head (PHH) for Anti-Radiation Missiles RudraM-2/2A RudraM-3 etc

PHH incorporates Spiral Antenna based Circular BLI Arrays

Circular BLI array DF head consists of
1. 5 no of dielectric loaded spiral antenna in 2 sub-bands
a. D-J band
b. H-J band

(for phase comparison direction finding)

2. 4 no of dielectric loaded spiral antennas in
a. D-J band

(for amplitude comparison direction finding)

The passive homing head is more advanced than the one being used in RudraM-1 Anti-radiation Missile

Canister lunched mini drone .

If they make it 'near' all weather than it will be a excellent system

And adding warhead which they seem to be interested in/working on will make it a good NLOS loitering weapon

These were developmental trials or user trials?

Not sure.

It has been taken from this video

 

[ezsasa]

Just a thought..

There should be a vertical-launched wheeled-vehicle mounted extended-range of upto 15 km range NAG launcher with atleast 16-24 tubes for anti-personnel , anti-structure and anti-armour role.

Point area defence from incoming land attack & area sanitisation roles.

Target acquisition can be EO.
