So it's a variant of helina or totally different ?

Obviously it's a variant

 

[porky_kicker]

I believe we would see this assembly soon enough in FTR.

Highly possible , inorder to circumvent American listening stations in Thailand facing indian test sites.

And the chinese .

 

[porky_kicker]

Also Helina IIR seeker has a range of 3-4 km

I don't understand why people are confusing themselves . They are simply repeating what the presstitudes are wrongly publishing without checking the original sources. Never trust MSM.

Dhruvastra is not renamed Helina . Nor is Dhruvastra the name of the launcher .

DRDO published brochure

Helina is the army version
And
Dhruvastra is the airforce variant of Helina

And the physical difference can be seen here

I am not aware of the software differences or differences in term of capabilities . Will have to wait for drdo to provide information on that.

This looks like DRDO's own demo video... So do we assume the info here to be correct?

is quad launcher under development? @patriots

Quad launcher for bharmos or helina ? If helina @Steven Rogers posted something about it on page 214 . If I remembered properly .

No official confirmation...but last chatter was a quad luncher is being designed.....

That's an old video AFAIK , livefist sliced it together to make a new video lol.

Possible things might have changed. Who knows . Let's see .

People need to calm down about missile names and varients.

We are running multiple projects. We will have all kinds of missile in multiple varients with different seekers and different propulsion technology and they might be named differently for each varient or according to service for which it is intended.

So wait for official info . As our missile program progress we will have way more complexity.
Learn to live with it. Clarity comes is due time..

You know how old this video is?.. Some impressive precision displayed here hitting such tiny target.

 

[Akula]

What defines an ATGM is 3rd, 4th or 5th generation?

 

[patriots]

You have been caught ....

Sir ji leave.....don't get personal please...you all are knowledgeable ....but please maintain your dignity...all have different opinions.
When he says this video is from drdo.... particular that video is not from drdo. But the content shown in that video is from drdo. Not the robotic voice.

I think the next logical step to delay the project is to ask them to increase the speed preferably make it supersonic, may be just increase the speed of playback?

 

[patriots]

Update of manpads . ........
I have reason to believe this.....as recently a tender was released for low altitude proximity...may be for this one ...not sure ....

To me it looked like someone has added the voice which was not present in the demo video, However I did not see anything to the contrary to what DRDO has claimed. Isn't this is what we knew all along?

HELINA :- 8 km max range in LOAL
SANT :- 20 km max range with MMW seeker

 

[Bleh]

Tell me which is the bettr way to defend ..
-Tanks are at border and start engaging enemy tanks when those are four km inside their area and then keep falling back.
- Tanks stand four km behind the border and satrt engaging tanks when they appraoch the border line...

And Bhoop Singh is not canon fodder. He is the only hero of the Lord Vishnu's Vasundahara. He fires 84 mm RL to cover move of BMP / Tank in the face of enemy as also covers BMP's ass when it is not able to fire a missiles due to minimum range.. Do you know that 84mm RL HEAT also has minimum range..

Neither. This is not 1980.
20km ranged SANT will be operational in few years...
MPATGM can be remotely mounted...
Namica can fire backwards, while shoot&scoot...
NAG based loitering winged-warhead won't need further guidance...

The gun-fodders to be dubbed heros are victims of IA's outdated doctrine that refuses to acknowledge technological advancements... If a tank battle happened against APS mounted tanks of Chinks right now, Lord Vishnu's Vasundhara would be littered with roasted alive heros like Bhup Singh in toasted tincans.

That's why I asked. I hadn't seen this before. The graphics looked like a Defexpo video but the voice-over didn't seem original.

4 side thruster design in heline has long been gone...

 

[Bajirao]

Yes

And I am assuming dhruvastra also has the same.

maybe, drdo adopted the jet vane to the nag design to totally undo the side thruster..probably in mpatgm they validated this design.dhruvastra has been santioned by mod just after successfull lunch of mpatgm ..
