I believe the reasons will be clear once ( or if ) we get to see K4 :)

Keltec specialises in naval applications don't they ? So it has to be either K15 or K4 . I think we can rule out K15, so that leaves K4.


And i don't think that is an inconvenient position for retro rockets.

You are being mislead by what I would call as ' geometrical optical illusion '

Sorry for the sloppy drawing but the general idea should be clear enough now regarding your questions wrt the position of the thrusters.
Well KELTEC is now BATL and they do manufacture parts for BRAHMOS as well as other missiles too including ISRO launch vehicles.

With the schematics you have provided, it looks fine for the output, but then again look at the inner side of the casing.

I would give you one more idea. Connect a couple of (4) butterfly valve on those inner placeholders which in turn would be connected to a closed chamber. Now you would get a system which would essentially control the flow of fuel or air in the chamber.

Should u really put CAD models of weapons on online forums , looks like these are official CAD models
Do u work in DRDO ?cz when i was in HEMRL for BE project , we weren't allowed to disclose any CAD models
If i was working in drdo I would not be here passing my time posting here.

And all pics are open sourced from science journals and websites of private companies

Anyways I have cut down on posting and will stop eventually.

I have the picture of the drdo EMP device , ie the EMP generator portion of the air delivered vector ( can't confirm whether air delivered or missile delivered , i am guessing both ).

It's a compact tube like structure. The bomb / airframe casing is missing , which will be added as per operational requirements. Its shape is kind of similar to the SAAWs warhead if one ignores the front cone shape of the warhead of the same.

And it is under production ( can't confirm whether pre production or production level configuration )

Plus pics of the actual HV trigger mechanism of n.............

Won't be posting any of those atleast for now

Just curious: How does FOG differ for 'under water applications' from say rocket/missile applications?
No idea ,

My guess sensitivity to shocks and vibrations etc.

And if what i said above is correct, then the ones for underwater application cannot be used for aerial purposes for the obvious reasons.

MLU at the very latest. Shtil, despite its flaws is good enough for the time being.
Plus, the P17s have a 32 cell Barak1 PDMS installed. So - chalega.
I once read there was talks going on to install the VLS version of shtil during MLUs.

But lately no news on it

FOG is better then RLG in case of anti acceleration. So a torpedo equipped with FOG would be much more accurate along with being cheap in operation.
