Also the RHA steel used in Mk1 was imported; the use of indigenous HNS steel would decrease the import dependence. I think only Israel and Russia have produced CLGM like tank fired anti-tank missiles.

Depends on what you call 'redesigning'. There is a redesign in the sense that different material would be used. The expectation is that the High-Nitrogen-Stell being stronger, one would need less of the steel; further the steel wheels are replaced by lighter aluminum ones. The designers feel...

This is a VERY old maritime radar that was in service for a while (developed by DRDO nevertheless). A newer version XV-2004 has also entered service. That picture is also a very old one...not sure which torpedo it is carrying. India is selling TAL (Shyena) to Myanmar and Varunastra to Vietnam...

That's good news know if its true. Could you share how you were able to confirm that it was CLGM that was tested. The image looks like Arjun Mk1 firing a regular tank round.

Whatever the issues Arjun Mk1 faced, the Mk2 fiasco is caused by plain stupidity. DRDO and Army were clearly NOT talking - it was a stupid miscommunication. DRDO spent years incorporating the 90+ new requirement into Mk2, and nowhere it occured to DRDO that they should inform the Army that the...

What to do, we are like that only!!! Do all the good unto others and get punched in the face!

New leader of Syrian rebels - Abu Ivanka al-Amriki (Father of Ivanka the American). This is not a joke! ROFL!!!

No fighter jets (Growlers) were used. Russians just didn't engage the cruise missiles. They probably tipped off the Syrians too, and probably sheltered the jets and Syrian soldiers. The damage probably was to the runway and some depots.

Russians were informed of the attack before the missiles were launched. The Russians (at the Shayrat base) were asked to shelter themselves - in order not to cause Russian fatalities and escalate the situation to a Russia-US stand off! That's why Russia didn't bother to shoot down the Tomahawks...

Not sure why you think the way you do, but here's my take: After having spent trillions over the last few decades on its own infrastructure (which was the reason for its huge GDP growth), China now sees stagnation - nothing much left inside the country to do. It has actually overbuilt!! China is...

Well, you need to post that on the Al-Khalid thread, not on this thread! :-)

My specialty is helping people with information; I can't be of any help with insanity. Good luck buddy! Keep your balance and post on...

With a little bit of looking around....I found this: Saurav Jha is reasonably trustworthy for accurate info... So, the rumors of this test being for CLGM are demonstrably wrong!

Dude, no need to get so offended!! Was just trying to clarify information. You're free to believe whatever you want - jump to conclusions or jump all the way to the target yourself.

This is more likely a test for a HEAT round and not CLGM. Note that the test was to assess and collect data on the damage done to the target and not so much on the guidance etc. DRDO has been developing several types of newer explosives - this must be one such.

Tank rounds have a range of 4-5 kms. Isn't it curious that the word 'missile' or CLGM was never used in the article? We also know that DRDO/Army has been testing newer types of explosives recently (like thermobaric etc). The description that the objective of the test was to estimate the...
