Clarification 3 : Military Grade Air Compressors are trailer mounted units which look like Gensets on Wheels.The compressors need to be serviced regularly. Any pneumatic leakage points to loose gaskets , Cracked O rings , leaking welds and joints. Easily fixable issues.

Issues with Servo Control Unit , Connector Unit and Booster Nozzle failure do point to poor QA/QC practices at BEL/BDL and this needs to be corrected on a war footing.

Most of the complaints are for the IAF Version of the missile and mostly related to Support Equipment like the Missile Transportation Vehicle (MTV) and the Air Compressor Vehicle (ACV).No deal breaking issues with the Missile and Radar

This also points to poor program management at BEL/BDL where Supply Chains are lax and Warranty Contracts have been loosely worded.Time to learn from Automobile Companies.

Things mentioned above are great, but isn't Akash mk-1 missile liquid fueled? or am I missing some relevant information.

Akash and all its variants are solid fuel missiles.

What about the ramjet-rocket propulsion? (for the sustainer phase)

Dallal bitches can suck Akash. ( if they can take it completely. :ghey: .)

These 7 Akash missile Squadrons have been ordered a dozen times in media. But I wonder if contract has been signed and money released?

Happens when you dont read the complete report


The IAF officials said the force-placed an order for seven more squadrons of the Akash missiles only after "ironing out the initial issues".
The Cabinet Committee on Security recently cleared seven squadrons of the missile systems for Rs 5,500 crore for the Air Force.

@south block

In 1940s when British and french were suffering from lack of weapons they called American president Franklin D. Roosevelt.

And American president called two gentlemen henry kaiser who was building merchant ships and owner of GE company who was making spare parts of car.

And then in between 1940-46
Us produced 334 hundred thousand and seven hundred 50 fighter aircraft.
141 aircraft carriers.
8 battle ships.
267 artillery pieces 807 cruiser Destroyer etc.
88 thousand tanks self propelled guns
52 millions tons of merchant ships.
203 subs.
2.4 million trucks.
2.6 million machine guns.

All of this stuff was sold to England and france and those four and half years they bought 108 billion worth of equipments and in today's term that amount = 2.4 trillion $.
All of this was done by 2 private companies.

This made Americans a super power.

DRDO's Advanced Numerical Research and Analysis Group is currently working on a quantum communications project. Let's see how this shapes up.



Chinks have made some progress in quantum communication tech. Which can be witnessed here,

iski desh bhakti Dekh meri aankhey Bhar aai lol ------ of course US would have made those weapons ---- It was WW2 after all & US was quite big, safe + resource rich & wasn't susceptible from German choking in English channel for raw supplies from colonies unlike UK & france ---- giving USA ample time & space. Pvt sector or no Pvt sector weapons would have been build either way on industrial scale as Soviet Union state owned enterprise build more than 120000 tank, 500000+ artillery pieces in middle of war.
But they don't have the bragging loud mouth like Chetoos sellers of India do they .

Thank you govt institutions of India again, without you nothing is possible... while Pvt sector Chetoos sellers are busy on twitter building their imaginary quantum computer

Interesting 4x4 vehicle based air defence fire control radar from L&T

For the ofb land based ak630 CIWS ?

 

[porky_kicker]

Wonder this rear section is of which missile

 

[Gautam Sarkar]

For the ofb land based ak630 CIWS ?

Is there any attempt to make a land based version of the 630 ? It could be very useful in border defence, especially if it was remotely operated and mobile.
