Looks like a huge .303 bullet

I would describe the missile as a ballerina

Then why bring it up in the first place?

We have to bring it up, because IA right now use SPYDER in the same role. SPYDER is a QRSAM.

I don't think that's how it works but whatever.

This is exactly how it works. Here are the specs of QRSAM launcher.

QRSAM Mobile Launcher Vehicle and Canister

• All Round Missile Firing Capability in elevation from 10 to 60° and Azimuth 360 °
• Quick Deployment and Launching of the Canisterised Missiles from uneven grounds with ground slopes of up to 5 deg
• All Weather Condition and Day Night Operation
• High Slewing & Tracking Rates with precise positioning
• Automatic High Speed Deployment System
• Cross Country Mobility & Transportation by Air, Rail Road &Ship

Look at the 2nd and 6th point. To achieve that, you need a lighter system. Packing up a dozen missiles per launcher is not going to help your cause.

And since we are comparing with Israelis, then how many missiles are there per launch vehicle in their David's Sling system?? I believe it to be 12 missiles each and their dimensions are hella bigger than that of the QRSAM rounds!! And the system comes on both static and mobile platforms and I don't see them having any troubles with the operability of the system or at least, they don't think it to be the case. So I call bs on the statements made by that other member.

Post #13,498. You started comparing QRSAM with David Sling, Pinaka, Astra. I've only suggested you the contemporary system with which you could compare QRSAM rather then anything under the sun.
Even now bringing in DavidSling system against QRSAM for comparison is illogical. If you want to compare David Sling, compare it with AD1 and AD2.
QRSAM is on another league. David sling is on another league. In same way, Pinaka and Astra is on their own league.

BTW, QRSAM is not based on Astra.

Any update on tejas@astra

Yeah.

Too late boss, I'm no longer interested to carry this meaningless debate any further as stated earlier.

Add an INSAS style charging handle, safety extension, magazine release extension and it'll be golden. I like the flash hider. Wish they'd change the gas block as well. Add an adjustable one. And for fuck's sake cut that barrel down to 14". And extend the handguard. For aesthetics, this is pretty good. But it is just a vanilla AK with rails.

I don't know about how stable the top cover rail is, but if it can hold zero, it is going to be a good alternative for the FAB defence mod. Both are essentially the same, but this wins if it is cheaper.

ADA-IISc’s remotely piloted aircraft successfully test flown

A prototype of a delta wing remotely piloted aircraft designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and the Indian Institute of the Science (IISc) was recently successfully test flown.

This prototype of a delta wing remotely piloted aircraft or unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with Micro Jet Engine Propulsion is said to be the first-of-its-kind developed and flight tested in the country. Terming this a defence project, an official said that the project is a joint collaboration between the ADA and the IISc’s Department of Aerospace Engineering. “This is a defence project where the design for the prototype has come from the ADA, while the mould composition, integration of the airframes, engine, fuel tank along with the testing was done by the Department of Aerospace Engineering’s UAV lab which has a lot of expertise in the developing these kind of aircraft,” an official told BM.

The ADA which is the nodal agency for LCA Tejas is also involved in the design and development of the Autonomous Unmanned Research Aircraft (AURA). The official refused to comment on whether the delta wing remotely piloted aircraft is being developed to carry weapon payloads. The maiden test flight of the prototype was carried out at the Taneja Aerospace and Aviation Ltd (TAAL) airfield in Hosur.

Further giving out details about the flight parameters of the maiden flight, the official said that the aircraft attained a maximum velocity of 190 kmph per hour at 50 per cent throttle, while the take off velocity was 155 kmph and approach velocity was 130 kmph. “Since this was the first flight we did not want to take much risk with the speed and flew only with 50 per cent throttle. This aircraft is designed for higher speed it can attain a velocity upto 300 kmph,” he said. During the flight, the aircraft which is powered by Kingtech 140 attained an altitude of 100 metres. “ To the best of our knowledge, this is the first-of-its-kind indigenous project to be successfully developed and tested in the country. Over the world there are plenty of such aircraft with delta wing configuration especially flown by forces of US and Israel,” the official added.

ADA-IISc’s remotely piloted aircraft successfully test flown

A prototype of a delta wing remotely piloted aircraft designed and developed by the Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) and the Indian Institute of the Science (IISc) was recently successfully test flown.

This prototype appears to be the scaled-down Stealth Wing Flying Testbed (SWiFT) for the Ghatak UCAV by comparing it with the images given in the following articles:

look at the tyre tracks on their private runway in the back ground, Taneja aerospace has been busy.

There are plenty of such projects going especially in IIT kanpur.

ISI created fake social media account of model to lure HAL employee: ATS

The ATS said Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) created a fake social media account of a woman, who then lured him into sharing pictures of his notes and HAL’s manufacturing unit at Ozar.

indianexpress.com

"The 41-year-old assistant supervisor at Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) last month on charges of espionage, was lured by a woman, posing as a UK-based model with an interest in aeronautics, into sharing pictures and vital information on Sukhoi jets"

What kind of idiot would fall for this shit? And why the fuck are these employees allowed to have social media accounts?
