"Whap fitted with NAMICA" ?
@Bleh why don't you photoshop that...?

Bhai, I meant Namica Missile System fitted on WhAP, in place of the turret. Nevertheless, I am happy to give you a reason to laugh.

The original pic above which I posted previously had a mistake which I realised yesterday after coming across new information on Helina .

View attachment 56685

The pic above I have edited to provide the correct information

Helina ATGM has a " FIXED NOZZLE " not a " FLEXIBLE NOZZLE ( TVC ) " .

Unfortunately FIXED NOZZLE doesn't provide any thrust control. So Helina cannot change her trajectory just after launch.

On the contrary Dhruvastra with JVC can change its trajectory just after launch.

Evidence of the same I have embedded in the above pic . Drawing of the nozzle section of Helina. As one can see the nozzle is fixed at the throat and no actuator is visible ( required to implement flexible nozzle )

But Helina it has side-thrusters Nag... Does Dhruvastra not use those?

In light of new evidence

It is now confirmed that Helina ATGM has a " FIXED NOZZLE " not a " FLEXIBLE NOZZLE ( TVC ) " as previously suspected.

Unfortunately FIXED NOZZLE doesn't provide any thrust control. So Helina cannot change her trajectory just after launch.

On the contrary Dhruvastra with " JET VANE CONTROL ( JVC ) " can change its trajectory just after launch.

Picture of the Helina rear section shows that the nozzle is fixed at the throat and no actuator is visible ( required to implement flexible nozzle )

But Helina it has side-thrusters Nag... Does Dhruvastra not use those?

Nag has 4 lateral thrusters ( conical nozzles )

Helina has 2 lateral thrusters ( circular nozzles )

Dhruvastrs has 2 lateral thrusters ( circular nozzles )

So does army has both versions with them? I am asking cause "osint's" were screaming about wlr being used in loc.

Interesting option for our helicopters - launcher for launching drones or sonobuoys.

Will be useful to launch air launched attack drones like the one below from Rudra and LCH

Nucon offered it for our Jaguar too.

Just curious, saw in this thread that the battery multi function radar operates in x band and sure as hell the posters at expos and all does say GaN based QTRMs, was wondering if it (GaN in the posters) was just about battery surveillance radar, since both are part of qr sam....
Or did actually LRDE make a GaN based x band TRM module because the official site lists GaN TRM only in L, S and C bands and nothing more....
Couldn't find anything in detail about this out there...
