You're correct. But by the time we make the 250th missile out of 1000, the army will want Neutrino warheads on them with localised blackholes and garlic flavour to kill vampires for good measure.
No turbojet engine? What can be the max range
Would depend on the size, though if I had to guess 200-500 km.
If it's following ballistic trajectory for 300-500 km then missile weight would be at least 4 ton, basically a cheaper bramhos
I thought the record for artillery range was 48KM by ATAGS. Evan kalyani mentioned it in one of his interviews. Is that not the case?
A very interesting find
Although it's Shukla ji report but interestingly a 50km range artillery gun was asked to drdo in the 2010 itselfnone other than by the Army ji. I am literally mind blown by the fact that none of the guns even in foreign armies had that kind of capability with it, and a 25l chambered artillery gun was almost non existent albeit G6 which was a Self propelled howitzer but that too was in service with standard 23l chamber and 25l chamber one was kind of experimental.
And now that even Rheinmetall has shown that using a 25l gun with VLAP like round, ranges in excess of 70km can be achieved, this was with Z-6 charge, ATAGS is capable of firing Z-7 charge. Pair the rounds with PGK/CCF which are also in development under TDF and that will give a hell lot of overmatch to our side.
155mm Artillery System Claims World Record: 76km - Defense Update:
In a recent firing series held in South Africa, the German-South African joint-venture Rheinmetall Denel Munitions (RDM) demonstrated a dramatic increase in the range of its artillery firepower. The demonstration employed three 155 mm cannons with 52 and 39 caliber lengths, which scored three...defense-update.com
ATAGS with all its capability is one hell of a howitzer.
I wished they had mounted it similar to MF-STAR or APAR.
Americans broke the record
timesofindia.indiatimes.com
They used either rocket assisted projectile or rython extended range excaliber ammunition to achieve 60 km plus . Kind of ammunition is also important along with artillery for greater range .
ATAGS can fire 52.074 km using High Explosive base bleed ammunition . The ramjet powered artillery shell being developed by iit madras is supposed to achieve 78km with atags . And Bharat forge working on a rocket assisted projectile to fire up to120 km distance .
IIT Madras project, I think its still on posters yet. Nothing has moved forward.
That record by ATAGS is using non rocket ammo, and is the world record for non rocket assisted ammo..... All these articles (like of that american SPH also) are using rocket assisted ammo to get those ranges. If rocket assisted ammo is fired from ATAGS, similar boost in range will be there.
They had shown this poster in defence expo 2020 . Needed funding of 10 crore as per idrw website . As per poster they could do it in 2.5 years . No new information in internet .
Just a small question....... Where it is written that IA wants a 50 km range artillery?
