what's it then Project star... Also Russia agreeing to Brahmos sales to Philippines, at the cost of angering China, suggests that India is close to mastering Liquid fuelled ramjet technology. Because if India comes up with a Brahmos equivalent with India ramjet engine then Russians won't be making any money..

This lfrj is different from brahmos liquid fuel ramjet .

What's that missile in the canister then?

Can you post the link page

Can't find my own posts

Info on LRCM using LFRJ

This one is brahmos ramjet engine which as one can see is different from DRDO LFRJ.

Release mechanism of NGARM different from Astra Bvraam.

Grainy pic of HSTDV

Mark my words one day a variant of it will be deployed on tactical ( intermediate range ) ballistic missiles and a variant of it will be developed as hypersonic glide vehicle ( powered / unpowered ) for strategic missiles.

Model of an unknown missile , not sure if it is a surface to surface missile or a surface to air missile.

Launcher is 6 celled.

I am guessing surface to air missile due to the presence of long chord wings ( which is used to implement high maneuverability ) and immediately followed by folding short fins as control surfaces for additional maneuverability / controllability , interestingly a large section of the immediate rear section is bare of any control surfaces. Quite intriguing design.

Also I don't think it is the AD series interceptors due to the obvious aerodynamic design configuration. Hence the only possible option remaining IMO is the XRSAM. As usual not sure.

@Atcjurvin

You were asking about this ?

I was alluding then to the possibility that it could be XRSAM , now since it is confirmed it is not , the question arises which missile is it .

There is a naval Air defense missile using hot launch under development , it could be the land based version of it.

How many missiles is drdo working on really ?

STAR has 4 intakes, unlike LFRJ CM with 2 intakes. The range of STAR is much lower than 290km Brahmos, and not anywhere nearer to LFRJ's 600km range.

STAR looks similar to kh31 asm [emoji848][emoji848]

Please comment "on behalf of DFI members, go fudge yourself" on that video for claiming SFDR will be used in Astra Mk. 2.

Done.

This missile looks similar to SM-2 and. SM-3 missiles.

Also IMO it doesn't make sense to change the configuration of the LFRJ engine with original 2 intakes to 4 intakes . it will increase cost and time overhead considerably , duplication of efforts. Design configuration and validation will need to be done from scratch.

I had wind tunnel pics of LFRJ undergoing tests , fuel flow it was i think with two intakes.

There was also a dual mode ramjet scramjet engine , can't recall the exact name of the engine DM... something undergoing tests .

Anyways let's either way no problem as long as program successful

 

[porky_kicker]

Model of a 4 tube launcher , albeit for missiles and what i can infer for naval assets. It seems to be heavily inspired from the Uran launchers.

Possibly for NASM-SR/MR , as usual not sure.

Launcher for NASM series maybe, not sure though
