Missile test NOTAMs

[Kshithij]

I don't think that it is 300km ranged missile. Every missile has some amount of distance as leeway or margin of error. It could instead be a sea trial of Brahmos with sea skimming and having a lower range as a result.

Brahmos Life Extension Test ...............

Brahmos Life Extension Test ...............

couple of years back i had posted that why do all tests happen only in fair weather conditions, wars surely do not happen only in fair weather condition.

I guess one of my old queries have been answered today.

 

[Vinod DX9]

MRSAM/LRSAM/AAD test? I guess so

 

[debspark90]

MRSAM/LRSAM/AAD test? I guess so

Yes, my guess too. It might be a test of a missile which is already under development and not a new one. As it might be to check the all weather capability of it. There is a deep depression around the Bengal, Odisha belt and it is raining all the while.

 

[Vinod DX9]

It is AAD which is to be tested today

 

[patriots]

and the test going to conduct from no 4 lunch pad ....and its Time is 7.30 to 11 am......it is going to 17 th test

more details .......here...........,..............

[Vinod DX9]

And it is successful....superb news

 

[Arihant Roy]

and the test going to conduct from no 4 lunch pad ....and its Time is 7.30 to 11 am......it is going to 17 th test

This is the 16th test. Not 17 th.

AAD has been tested 12 times. PAD and PDV have been tested twice each.

 

[Kshithij]

This is the 16th test. Not 17 th.

AAD has been tested 12 times. PAD and PDV have been tested twice each.

Isn't PAD discontinued in favour of PDV?

 

[Kchontha]

This BMD test is a small baby steps towards a mature theatre missile defense system, they need to develop longer reach and more speedier missiles and detection capabilities to converge on s400 or Isreali Arrow Class.

BM and CM tests are done from ITR on Orissa coast. From Vizag we do tests of Ship launched BM and SLBM.

Underwater test of SLBM likely

India is preparing to conduct a crucial trial of its most ambitious submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from an underwater platform. Defence sources said the nuke-capable missile is



BHUBANESWAR: India is preparing to conduct a crucial trial of its most ambitious submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) from an underwater platform. Defence sources said the nuke-capable missile is likely to be test-fired from a pontoon (replica of a submarine) nearly 20 metre under the sea off Vizag coast on Thursday. While notice to airmen (Notam) has been issued, defence scientists are leaving no stone unturned for a successful mission as two consecutive attempts to launch the missile recently had reportedly failed.

Though earlier it was planned to test-fire the SLBM from indigenously-built nuclear-powered submarine INS Arihant, sources said the missile will now be fired from the pontoon as the submarine is not ready for live trials. “Elaborate preparations are on for the mission. The missile is ready while logistic arrangements are being put in place along with positioning of tracking systems. The test window has been kept for August 9, 10 and 11,” said a defence official.

Developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the SLBM is world’s best weapon in its class. Flying at hypersonic speed, the missile can’t be spotted until it is virtually upon the target. Powered by solid propellant, it can carry payload up to one tonne and be fitted with tactical nuclear warhead. The SLBM is a part of India’s ‘nuclear triad’ (ground-based, air and submarine-launched weapons) and invulnerable second-strike weapon as projected in the nuclear doctrine.

The missile can be compared with Tomahawk missile of the US in terms of speed and lethality. So far, only a few countries have the missile technology that can deceive enemy attacks. “Since it is a user associate launch, DRDO scientists in presence of Navy officials will conduct the test from a submerged pontoon. Once inducted, it will add more teeth to India’s arsenal,” the official added.

When would these so called defence journalist would grow up?

On one hand they are reporting hypersonic speed, on other hand they are comparing its speed to Tomahawk.

Where is the god damn test...!!
