I think i have the pic of the hypersonic aircraft , i will try to see if i still have it

Let me guess,Its name is Avatar or RLV-TD

Akash NG launch was from similar system.

Which one is this then? QRSAM has a different launcher.

Now this is pretty interesting
Indian scientists did feasibility test till 2012 on AVATAR hypersonic spacecraft

Now the design of AVATAR i found which was posted by retired air commander , raghavan gopalswami and was presented global conference on propulsion at salt lake city, united states on july 10, 2001.

Note:-this project is very different from ISRO's RLV shuttle and there was no involvement by ISRO in the project.
Unfortunately due to secrecy of the project i could find only this much info.
Even the pdf of loksabha question was removed from internet due to **unknown reason** but i managed to recover it by wayback machine.

The current status of AVATAR is unknown who knows it might have already taken flight or still work is progressing.

It is not an ISRO Project but a DRDO Project. Hence no support from ISRO.

Akash NG launcher? Why he says 30km then?

It is Akash NG launcher , compare with testfire pics to see yourself .

A pic from Akash NG test i edited for something else , nevertheless good to compare , everything same , except for test drdo use single cannister instead of the entire magazine holding all the cannisters.

As for 30 km range i dont know , IMO it should be around 45 km

 

[porky_kicker]

I have to find it first in order to post it

The tweet quotes SCV as a Vertical Launcher while Akash NG was fired in Inclined Position .

Whap procured.

 

[SUPERPOWER]

Whap procured.

Deployed in Sudan and Congo.. and our jawan used fatiture gypsies and safaris against china....Kya chutiyapa hai...

 

[shuvo@y2k10]

I think UN operations are testing ground for large scale order.

Similar thing happened to Mahindra ASLV.

The projected requirement of WHAP is 200.

Ya'll Nibbiars aur bolo ki current budget is sufficient and only needs Atmanirbhar.

I say 100 billion or nothing and offload the pension and other benefits to a milbus. And no reduction in forces. The current WhAP are probably being proceed under the international peace keeping deployment's.

Indian Army procurement budget: $4.88 Billion
Indian Air Force procurement budget: $7.12 Billion
Indian Navy procurement budget: $4.45 Billion
For reference, US Military Procurement budget: $150 Billion (approx.)
US Military R&D budget: $100 Billion (approx.)

And forget reduction, Army is raising three more Infantry Battalions. Lets hope the cadre reviews ordered by General Rawat have some positive effect a few years down the line.
