Nag anti-tank Missile

[Kunal Biswas]

Namica crossing and proud civilians taking photographs !! DRDO walas I suppose ?

Only photos, nothing is happening on ground.

There have been successful test, The Weaponry itself is very good, Nothing is close to it..

One need to see and push the project forward..

Kunal,

I pray for it as IA is like proverbial virgin under a DRDO tree waiting for Nag for last 20 years to drop down!

The same thing is for most hardware, The deign and technical date is very good even the product but it always stays at Prototype stages..

NAMICA is a modified BMP-2 ICV produced as "Sarath" in India.

Any plans for a more modern vehicle for the missile system?

The Vehicle is proposed by Army only, So as long as BMP stays in Army in mass, it will provide for Platform for other sub systems..

The Hindu : News / National : DRDO scientists to develop advanced seekers for tactical missiles

A few months ago, a major success was achieved when anti-tank Nag missile was flight-tested with an indigenously-developed mmW seeker.

So where is it? NAG was supposed to be inducted in 2008!

Not 2008 but in 1986..... Is not it. Any DRDO walas !!

I don't remember that far. In 2008 were the trials ready for induction... now nothing.

If you haven't noticed almost everything from DRDO has been late.

 

[sayareakd]

i told them long time ago give OFB and BEL to ambani brothers and IA would go gaga on these systems.

 

[Bhadra]

Nag was supposed to be the first missile to be developed under IMDP project. They could not make the smallest and then ventured into the largest as easy options.

Still well done but so far not done ....

Yeah, but they showed the trials in 08'. What is wrong with this missile?

That's the same question even we are asking for a lot of indigenous products. Maybe there is nothing dark (black) attached to it.

^^^^ Nothing, IA is not satisfied with the launch platform, i.e. NAMICA (modified BMP).

Why cancel a whole missile which was developed with lots of time and money for the launch platform, when we could just have worked on it. Same questions were raised with the Akash missile, wasn't the platform changed there.

It is not cancelled, not yet. Nag has cleared the trials and has been ordered by the army.


Indian Army had earlier placed its Acceptance of Necessity (AON) for 443 Nag missiles 13 NAMICAs in 2005. The Army had made it clear then that a firm commitment will only be given once all trials are successful and the system is fit for induction. The Army also projected in their perspective plan the need for 7000 Nag missiles and around 200 NAMICAs.

After the user trials in 2010, we had accepted Nag as an ATGM, but wanted integration with launcher improved," Army sources told Express. The electro-mechanical systems of the two NAMCIAs used during trials (both made by BEL) were found to be below Army's expectations in tough dessert terrain conditions, including reliability concerns propping-up.

User is the decider because the product is for the user. Unfortunately DRDO thinks and acts in a manner to suggest User is his slave and a captive market ?

Well you are not producing Lancaster spun yarn. It is the question of safety and security of the country. Who knows what is DRDO but every one knows the user, that is the Armed Forces. They will be held accountable and not DRDO.

Try and understand it.. rather than bossing around.

You have got it the other way around. It's the DRDO which is not being encouraged by the defense forces.
