Doesn't SMART system happens to be a better substitute for torpedoes?
No

SMART is itself a torpedo delivery platform , so it cannot substitute a torpedo . Without its torpedo payload , it is no longer a anti submarine weapon.

Unrelated
As I see it SMART is a weapon system of the future , SMART will be a system within a plethora of weapon systems which will feed off various kinds of air land underwater sensor etc.

SMART will need to access considerable real time information from various sensors inorder to fulfill its missions with a high probability of success.
Given the costs, I believe the associated kill chain of SMART will not be standalone but a part of the kill chain of the INs system of systems which is being put into place slowly but surely.

SMART and importantly the system's which will enable SMART ( including other weapon systems etc ) will need time to come into place .

So SMART is a weapon of the future , not only because of the characteristics of the weapon but because of the sensors needed ( space , air , underwater ) to put it into effective use.

Stabilization assembly



A-08.00.24.jpg


Used for pralay missile bottom stabilizer part for about 11 degrees. On ignition the piston wedge assembly slides over the Venturi body due to the combustion pressure to the integrate lock position simultaneously deploying the flaps by integrating rollers to 11 degree wide open.

Don't quote it and don't post it elsewhere.

All Weather Vigilance At work, somewhere in the Northern sector...

Somewhere in Ladakh.

This is strategic signalling .

IAF be like to PLA and PLAAF, " Tum logo ko jo ukhadna he, ukhad lo. Hum dekh lenge . "
The significance not the pic is that it's a 3D CAR . Either it's part of a TRU or an Akash squadron is around the corner .

i think rudram 3 is a version of pralay missile
if we look at the schematic diagrams of both we see a lot of similarities


we know that rudram-3 is an hypersonic mizzle b/w mach6-7
pralay is the first mizzle to surpass the 10milimeters per second to 70-80 milimeters per second burn rate

so is RUDRAM 3 A VARIENT OF PRALAY??

DRDO is 3D printing prototypes of Transmitter & Receiver Modules(TRMs) using AlSi10Mg alloy. These new TRMs are going to replace old ones on some very long range AESA radars. The old TRMs were being made using traditional welding. The weld beads were causing RF signal distortion.

shows the pathetic state of DRDO production labs

I think it is safe to say, DRDO have redeemed themselves based on outcomes over past few years.

whether these positive changes have been institutionalised or they will go back to their old ways when leadership changes happen in the future, this only time will tell.
