We could make fun of this, but the reality is, till date we were importing it.

I don't want to make fun of hardworking scientists or try to sound boastful, I know people will come to me with, "Yeah, it's not that simple", and "why are you lecturing if you cannot make it" statements, but honestly,

This thing can be designed by a 2nd-year mechanical engineering student.

I used to doodle more complex mechanical parts when I was in 7th standard. This simple "unplugging" mechanism, whether by explosive charge or electrical actuators, is a simple task.

I am appalled by the level of our engineers working in PSUs and my stomach churns looking at their horrific engineering. It's just pathetic they take glory in such simplistic innovations.

@Chinmoy bhaiya any update on tapas flying with new 180hp engine did a first flight happen?

Think you have not read the para I attached along-with.

No flight test took place as yet as far as I know. Only ground trials.

Will 180hp be replaced with 220 later?

There was update about 15 tapas to be delivered to armed forces for user evaluation and be manufactured by hal
What's the status of it sirji, if u know

Right now the airframe is undergoing ground trials with indigenous engine. After that it would undertake flight trials an then go into user evaluation trial.

So construction of 15 tapas has begun
Can we assume

Construction of those 15 units began last year itself we had pics from hanger itself might on on this thread somewhere

When can we expect for user evaluation to complete

As per DRDO, its 6. I don't know from where 15 numbers came up.

My mistake I will check

a double barreled one wont be. Doesnt have to be quad with modern FCR.

One of my eternal questions... why isn't GSh-23 mated with EO/FCR for C-RAMU application

 

[arnabmit]

Absolutely, but don't you think a gatling gun based CIWS system would be a better fit for the job??

200 dumb rounds vs 4 to 6 airburst rounds with 150 submunitions each... You do the math.

Because then they'll need to develop a whole new mount and traverse - elevation mechanism for that, coz there's no existing example of ground mounted GSh-23 they can copy.

This is the same reason why we see the whole of AK-630 module mounted on a truck, coz even in that case they're incompetent to develop a dedicated mounting system.

Come on! No one can be THAT incompetent!

It must be the Sarkari "No one asked me to do it, so why should I do it?"

...Vibranium core Adamantium bullet...

While Vibranium is the more durable material, Adamantium is the denser material. So, the core would definitely be adamantium.

Research dude! Research!

 

[arnabmit]

nope, you have it backwards. Penetration is projectile going through. Perforation is just the armour peices going through.

Strictly speaking, penetration occurs when a projectile enters a target without passing through it and perforation occurs when the projectile completely passes through the target, but the word penetration is commonly used to refer to either.

You can't believe how lazy people here are

It took me hardly 2 minutes to come up with this. Nothing ground breaking, nothing advanced and the whole thing composed of sub-systems we already have with us.

But the best they did was simply take this whole assembly...

...and mount it on a truck

May i introduce the M15MGMC:

two M2 .50 cal Brownings on either side of a 37mm cannon.

I wonder why the old AZP S-60 derived ZIF-72 are at now... might be a good idea to develop a new solution around it.
