Baba already put more things in negative list every year. With more delay the number of items under negative list will increase which shuts the Lobby once for all.

Somehow I am not so optimistic. You will only see more press conferences by top gernails blaming the govt of not allowing them to import stuff and spouting wisdom like 'we will fight with what we have'. (But will not order domestic equivalent ). This can lead to a dangerous situation where porkies may also catch up.....

I agree that the structure is important but IMO it matters when there is force applied on the whole surface. For example, say, I try to ram a jeep into the wall, then the structure will help in reinforcement. But for a tank round and bullet rounds, which apply force in a small area, the composition of the material itself should matter and the structure doesn't help right?

If the force applied even after force distribution by structural symmetry doesn't reduce below the safe threshold at any given point of the symmetry, structure will take damage

When force is applied at a point than force distribution is negligible but imo depending on material composition , internal structuring etc should be able to provide resistance , even minute deflection when travelling inside the material will cause projectile to lose % of its energy

I am a noob , only someone with domain knowledge will be able to provide conclusive answer to the simple yet complicated question

Calling it 3D printing is long stretch, its pre fabricted bunkers that you can put together like lego bricks.

peices are not molded but probably actually printed , so i guess u can call it "printing"

tank round at 100m seems iffy but i am no expert either.

any ways still better then the typical sangars build out of rocks

They were likely talking about HE rounds, (I mean who in their right mind would fire an APFSDS round at a bunker?) in which case, the distance becomes more or less irrelevant as those things do not rely on the kinetic energy but rather their explosive mass.

Of course, especially atop the mountains where the biggest threat would come from shoulder fired weapons like recoilless rifles and RPGs (and probably lightweight loitering munitions).

Ghanta. APFSDS will crack it wide open, and HEAT shell will cook everyone inside. These are meant to protect from small arms (and more importantly) the weather

Ok, HEAT warheads do not work like that.

India's BEL has signed an #MoU with Spacefaring Technologies for co-operation in technology development in the field of fabric-based Radome, Shelters, deployable space habitats, aerostat, etc, for Defence and non-Defence applications.

It will enable both companies to address the diverse needs of the Defence forces and civilian customers for protection of personnel and critical defense assets, rapidly-deployable unpressurised and pressurized radomes, nxt- gen aerostat airborne long-range surveillance platform


Spacefaring Technologies is inolved in Manufacture of knitted and crocheted fabrics and articles

Actually, as per Nick Moran, its standard practice to fire a APFSDS first, and then follow up with HE or HEAT

Even against concrete pillboxes or earthen embankments??!! Hmmm.....interesting. Anyway, I don't think they were talking about APFSDS rounds in this particular case, cause there is no way these flimsy defenses would hold up against a tungsten dart, and that too from a 100-meter no less.

dont we blow up concrete pakistani bunkers on the LOC with atgms all the time ? i think those are HEAT warheads.

hard to believe anyway that the modular one will withstand t-90 round at 100m
