1. AN-32 - Can carry 6.7 tonnes of cargo.
2. C-295 - Can carry 7.05 tonnes of cargo.

Looks like a clear winner here. We have 103 AN 32 and we can easily replace them with C-295. Thus we have a good scale of economics.

Now for Hercules replacement.

Either we can go on with additional order of C130J or if we are trying to do some screwdrivergiri with A400M or C-390.

Heavy strategic airlift.

Very limited products. IL-76 -- Not favorable.
C-17 -- Production stopped. Need to source from other countries.

Time to ask TOT from China regarding the Y-20 to plug the gaps.

Or ask Airbus to shove turbofans onboard the A400 in return for assured orders and local production line.

Or use Kaveri without afterburner
And make something along the lines of Y-20

A 60 kg warhead is what Russian or Chinese missiles have. Barak-8 with its Israeli guidance should be up to Western standards.

1. There are lot of other systems will affect a missile's precision, posture control system, engine control system, even the processing precision of the missile's shell will affect the accuracy. The guidance system is only a small part of problem. It is just like a person driving a car in F1 race, maybe your eyes and brain can always give perfect driving solution for the driver, but his nerve, muscle and the car machinery system will also affect the final result.
2. Who guarantee that Israel did provide their best guidance technologies? There are too much US technologies get involved. Besides, there is no country will provide their best products in foreign cooperation.

Usually there's nothing called a guidance "system" on a missile. It's a colloquial term used for G&C (Guidance & Control) System combining the Guidance Section and Control Actuation Section...so basically it covers pretty much everything you mentioned.

2. Who guarantee that Israel did provide their best guidance technologies? There are too much US technologies get involved. Besides, there is no country will provide their best products in foreign cooperation.

The fact that US was forced to intervene and stop Israel from transferring us the technology of Arrow 3 guarantees that they're quite chill with providing cutting edge technology to pretty much everyone. Even after that they supplied us Green Pine because it was not covered by US agreement. Israel is the same country that sold Lavi to China after US killed it.

Your message is correct mostly, however NCTR(non cooperative target recognition) is not part of SEAD/DEAD. It has its use in air to air BVR fights.

Essentially, the NCTR is a way to do EID(electronic ID) on a radar target, in which the radar tries to scan the number of engine blades or the airframe return through the intake of the bogey, runs that through an internal library and tries to show the result on the radar screen.

What you mentioned is strictly JEM or Jet Engine Modulation, one of the many techniques in NCTR technology.

NCTR can also be employed on ground based radars as most of them are still not fixed panel AESA, but rotating arrays. Also you can use Inverse-SAR

This is called radar fingerprinting. Netra AWACS detected F-16 going down by this.

Bengaluru based Alpha Design Technologies Ltd (ADTL) has signed an order to supply 400 Software Defined Radio (SDRs) for Indian Army tanks.

yeah, that is pretty freaking epic

@binayak95 bhaiya what is this? Is it carrier based? Any hints ? We are already testing tapas right

there's an ongoing project involving one of India's leading pvt drone makers.

Naval vessel = Carrier based/Tapas

 

[binayak95]

Naval vessel = Carrier based/Tapas

naa unmanned surface vessel

 

[Shuturmurg]

Naval vessel = Carrier based/Tapas

Or unmanned submarine or unmanned surface boat.

 

[Lonewarrior]

Or unmanned submarine or unmanned surface boat.

@NoobWannaLearn pagla gaya hai, applying Jahaj and Hawai Jahaj logic here

If it's a vessel then it's either surface or underwater. What to with carrier and Tapas

wow, first time I see someone with actual sense in a high position of power. let's hope these are not just words
