Hi @Figaro Liquids does have higher ISP vis a vis a similar weight solid rocket but it is certainly not compact and requires some fueling time. And no it is not sophisticated by modern standards. Thanks! They use very old technology R-29s and their variants on their deltas doesnt mean that...

Hi Shaheen Missile! The range of missile depends on two major factors- 1) The velocity achieved at the burn out point. 2) Angle at the burnout point. Now the velocity is a function of- (a) ISP of the propellant. (b) Weight of the missile--a lighter missile with same ISP will result in higher...

Hi ! NK is probably in early stages of developing an ICBM. Their reliance on liquid rocket motor is a testimony to that fact. The trend is towards making missiles compact-- with higher ISP propellant, composites, MEMS based IMU and actuators etc. If someone is going against this trend then it...

That is wonderful if they are working in Pakistan. I believe it is efforts like these that are actually needed in Pakistan for establishing a decent research eco system that can sustain various weapons development program. Also do look at the def expo pics that I uploaded recently!

Hi @ashok321 Kindly do not indulge in troll without any shred of evidence. You can of course present your views with "credible facts". Also note that newspaper articles quoting "anonymous" sources DO NOT count as credible facts--you seem to be a fan of such uncited news articles. Do have a habit...

@Shaheen missile I'm afraid that's not strictly my area of expertise(my area of expertise is nonlinear and intelligent control). However as far as I can read and make sense of it, it deals with a novel method of mixing fuel and oxidizer. But I believe it's not necessarily related to gas turbines...

All! Couple of things I wish to highlight- 1)

Keeping all the rhetoric aside, as a man of science, I must congratulate Pakistan for having accomplished this feat if they really did it on their own. These are some of the instances Where I feel they should be a little bit more transparent. Anyways this particular launch does seem legit and...

Oh crap, sorry I was little high. I'm really sorry.

I most certainly wouldn't have commented but the guy(@Taygibay ) you are bashing is one of the saner voices here. No need to call names man!

Hi @ziaulislam Firstly let me point out that I agree with some of your points and disagree with certain others. For starters there is no doubt that a country as vast as India, the FDI we receive is certainly not enough. There are some facts-...

Hi @Bratva That is true because, in land version there exists a central command post, that recieves the target information, calculates the trajectories, generates the way points to meet this trajectory and sends this data to individual launchers on a data link. Here is the pic of the land based...

@Jackdaws Actually, we wanted SUV'ish type car, so tbh, finally we had to decide between eco and brezza(we got it through CSD and nexon wasnt available then)-- and it was a tough decision!. Thats the reason why S-cross never figured in our discussions. And to be quite honest, S-cross will cross...

Thats correct, if one can shell out 2-3 lakhs more then S-cross does make a much better proposition than brezza. However if you have a budget of 10L(as was mine). Then Brezza is the only option. However I feel, Nexon and TATA's new generation of cars have improved to the level where they're now...

Hi @boxer_B I guess some of your points are indeed correct. For instance- 1) Yes the robustness of the sheet metal doesnt look as strong as eco sport of course but it is lighter by more than 100 kgs. Which means it can accelerate faster than eco. It is also "wider" than eco, which means 3 can...

Thankfully this is not agni 6! End of discussion
