Yes , use spoiler tag and don't name it explicitly

I also know the type which was being tested in a very isolated region since quite some time back

Weather was cloudy, not clear.

Looks like a heron but the one we already have

'TP' I mentioned because smaller version of Heron doesn't have that bulge at nose section. And I saw that bulge.

Astra warhead , note the cubes most probably made of tungsten or one of its alloys

 

[porky_kicker]

Akash warhead note the cubes embedded on the warhead body on the right side.

Explosives are filled inside the body.

 

[porky_kicker]

K-4 components.........

 

[porky_kicker]

Warhead structure without the cubes
Don't know for which missile

QRSAM ?

kind of doubt it , maybe new missile - either surface to air or air to air

Not sure

 

[porky_kicker]

IMO to hold the big brother

IMO to hold the smaller brothers

Very low resolution CAD drawing of LRTR

 

[porky_kicker]

AMOGHA-1

IMO waste of time

 

[porky_kicker]

Interesting picture , the people in the pic are from malat . Coincidence ?

Find and post it if you want / can

Finally found the picture, but it looks like a cannister for transporting Missile.

Posted it long time back here, basically it's a reload carrier

There is a 70 t tel but won't be seen untill the 70 t system is test fired

Why drdo is not developing a manpad

Is it more complex than ..mrsam and srsams

Technology to go behind a MANPAD would be same as that of a SAM, BUT.... there is one critical aspect which would be a problem for DRDO. IA or IAF would not accept any MANPAD developed by DRDO right now. Why? Because any such system would be much heavier then what IA is using right now, Igla.

Moreover, on seeker front we would have to wait for MPATGM do mature first. Because unlike SAM which uses Active Radar Guidance, any MANPAD would prefer IIR seeker or MmW for that. These are used in NAG and MPATGM and we would have to wait till these platforms reach a maturity point or users show enough confidence in them.

Same is with WVRAAM. Although we have build a BVRAAM and testing it, the physics of WVRAAM would again keep it off RADAR for few more years. Reason, unlike BVRAAM, a WVRAAM would have to undergo a tremendous G force (20 to 25G max). So structural integrity of such a missile is a challenge. And on seeker part again we would have to wait for a IIR seeker to mature.
