Wanna see the explosion

 

[Arihant Roy]

SP-26 is presently in fuselage module marriage phase . Thats some progress.

 

[mist_consecutive]

Can anyone tell me MRSAM TELs length?

Also which radar is MRSAM paired with? Any Israeli radar or homemade?

[Lonewolf]

For some future aam or just some random project

People are saying it is RudraM-III

If one looks carefully

One will infer that the missile doesn't have a radome , the nose tip section is small and radomes are always a single piece ( there cannot be joints or rivetting ahead of the seeker ) , and given the size of the missile , the nose tip section is kind of small ( any seeker antenna there will be really tiny ).

So the said missile IMO is INS-GPS guided ( hit fixed targets )

And I cannot say if it RudraM-III. There are just too many control surfaces in the rear . Both RudraM-II / RudraM-III schematics showed 8 control surfaces each , now the yellow coloured missile has 16 rear control surfaces alone.

My suspicion is it is a variant of RudraM-II , the additional 2 sets of new fins are positioned alternatively ahead of the original 2 set of fins in RudraM-II.

The device up top of the car looks like a laser based DEW system

Makes sense for a electric car , the power pack can directly power a laser device of suitable wattage.

Also the Akash-NG launcher is kind of different . One aspect of it doesn't make sense unless it is just for the test fire.

Akash NG launcher

Going by the features seen in the Akash NG launcher

Possibly it has

1. 3 radar panels
2. 3 IFF panels

And possibly

3. The launcher arm is not slewable in the azimuth plane ( maybe possible with the launcher arm in a highly elevated angle in order to have the necessary clearance from the sides ).
4. The launcher arm can move in the vertical plane , though firing will be within the limitations imposed by the forward portion of the vehicle.

Additional radar panel on the nose

Possibly one in the rear , though not visible from the given angle

It means A330 program still alive or replaced by new configuration.

Alive , pending better budget

R&D work will continue meantime

what was the timeline for this project?

 

[porky_kicker]

Rustom-1 with EO pod and looks like some aerodynamic refinements

In the background a new radar mounted on a vehicle is visible.

The vehicle in the background in the above pic is Atulya ADFCR.

 

[porky_kicker]

what was the timeline for this project?

No idea bro , I don't follow news nowadays , others might know.

I am here just for the aero India show

 

[Karthi]

SWIFT if we use good materials and manufacturing technologies Our Ghatak going to be a black hole in the atmosphere.

AWACS.
