Correction :Because of this
View attachment 80748
R-73 seeker on activation has very limited time , so target must be searched tracked and the seeker of R73 brought within the LOS of the target so that it can itself get a lock . This is done by the individual launchers with the FLIR within a very short time.
If one FLIR is installed , it will provide coarse and fine guidance for one R-73 only. Each R-73 will need it's own external eyes and own positioning mechanism to make sure it can lock on the intended target successfully.
And that is not a EO pod , it is a COTS FLIR / thermal camera
Its doesn't work like that, first it goes up in air with a swooshhh then it tilts and then kaboom, oye vye.
What are you talking aboutIts doesn't work like that, first it goes up in air with a swooshhh then it tilts and then kaboom, oye vye.
I believe, it is capable to shoot down helicopters too , isn't it ?IAF gone houthi !

Personally I don't think it has any use other than trying to shoot down low flying drones . Also it will never survive the rigors of war that IAF expects to face.
Well nothing much to say , if IAF wants it , that's their call , after all it's their lives on stake.
Wadiya and nuclear nadals missile.What are you talking about
Everything, provided the target is within the engagement envelope and its countermeasures are ineffective to detect or to stop the missile from shooting it down.I believe, it is capable to shoot down helicopters too , isn't it ?
But the helicopter should not have flare dispenser , then it will be useless i believe.
But that zil truck looks ugly to be honest.Everything, provided the target is within the engagement envelope and its countermeasures are ineffective to detect or to stop the missile from shooting it down.
Having countermeasures doesn't guarantee defence against missiles. It is a cat and mouse game.
War is fashion show ?But that zil truck looks ugly to be honest.
The IAF should mount those on lsv or that new kalyani m4 vehicles .
It looks more modern.
But if it works and vayusena is happy , then I am happy .
There is one problem FLIR may not be able to track the target for that we need an IRST . FLIR can detect targets from greater ranges than IRST . So this may not be a FLIR or it just detects the target and the R 73 will be fired and the R73 Seeker locks on to the targetBecause of this

Naa , not at all.War is fashion show ?
This project used existing equipment/s available with IAF, the truck you see is readily available IAF as it was used to transport Pechora systems.Naa , not at all.
It was my personal opinion sirji , I very well know functionality triumphs looks everywhere, less said about warfare the better.
I just read an earlier reply , which propagated the same opinion as mine .
Lastly, if war were fashion show then army regiments would have fought in their parade uniforms .
I apologize.
