Is this for BMP-2 upgrade? What other tracked vehicle are they planning to peddle?Ashok Leyland Defence Systems (ALDS), part of Hinduja Group flagship Ashok Leyland, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on cooperation with Rosoboronexport (ROE), Russia, and an Indian firm ELCOM Group, to provide tracked vehicle solutions to Indian armed forces

Based on the heavy mount pictured in the Israeli article it would be Spike ER. To go for such a missile is direct competition to Prospina as they would mount them on light vehicles.We have CLGM for Arjun MBT and as standalone ATGM. Its still under development.
Not sure about the range of SPIKE we would be getting. But its been pitted against JAVELIN system, so it should be anywhere in between 1.5 km to 8 km. We could also go fro SPIKE NLOS too in later phase.
one difference is ;Spike is a 4th Generation missile while Nag is a 3rd generation missile ..............what are the differences between them ? and why we are so outdated ??
I guess.....2 way data RF Link with mid course update .....and dual seeker, eg:- iir for target lobl , mmw for terminal guidance...and also loal modeSpike is a 4th Generation missile while Nag is a 3rd generation missile ..............what are the differences between them ? and why we are so outdated ??
Indian media is calling Spike MR a "3rd Generation" missile from the article @Vijyes found. http://m.timesofindia.com/city/hyde...le-hub-sets-shop/amp_articleshow/59908633.cmsSpike is a 4th Generation missile while Nag is a 3rd generation missile ..............what are the differences between them ? and why we are so outdated ??
It is not about motor of missile but about guidance system that defines generationsone difference is ;
4g works on two moters......one that put missile in air and then other to push it with force towards target.....
sirjee, SPIKE done deal.Spike MR is not a shoulder launched ATGM and is hence quite cumbersome. I am not sure why India selected it at all. Shoulder launched missile was more important. Spike is a tripod launched missile. It requires one person to carry the tripod, one to carry the launcher and a missile and another one or two to carry more missiles
SPIKE would be used across LOC and LAC along with other infantry troops, whereas NAG is solely for desert warfare and offensive strike capability on rapid deployment in short.Once I learned it was Spike MR, the point was lost.
Spike ER is 35 kg and range is 8km while NAG is 45 kg with range of 4km. How is it meaningful?SPIKE would be used across LOC and LAC along with other infantry troops, whereas NAG is solely for desert warfare and offensive strike capability on rapid deployment in short.
SPIKE ER is air launched version. HELINA is to be compared with it. HELINA does have a range of 8 to 10 km.Spike ER is 35 kg and range is 8km while NAG is 45 kg with range if 4km. How is it meaningful?
