That part of the report is absolutely correct! Derby missile is an active radar Active radar (AR)-guided dual range (medium & short) missile. It carries its own radar system to detect and track its target. However, the size of the radar antenna is limited by the small diameter of the missile...

Navy to network-target test Derby AAM Tuesday, July 07, 2009 As part of the Limited Upgrade Sea Harrier (LUSH), the Indian Navy will shortly conduct its second live firing test of the Israeli Derby beyond visual range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM), a weapon system that has been integrated...

Well, I really didn't want to enter this thread for obvious reasons, but by quoting 'CHUCK YEAGER' and claiming him to be neutral you have really forced me to post here. Here is some news you may not like- So, there goes your neutral 'CHUCK YEAGER'. Got anything else? Oh yeah the Mig-21...

Hi zero, First of all welcome to the forum! Hope you have an enjoyable stay here. Coming back to some of the points you raised in your posts- There is absolutely no international treaty in the world that stops any country from selling or buying a nuclear powered submarine or nuclear...

Yes you are right. The army has already placed orders for 4100 milan2t & 15,000 Konkurs-M. But that is not at the expense of Nag. The Nag is totally different from the other two missile types which are of 2nd gen! Even the original report that I posted says that the Arny is going to order a few...

Hope this helps, The above diagram is for the Israeli Spike. Nag is very similar toit. @sudhir007 That info about 443 units is pretty old. Army placed that order even before the user trials were over. It is yet to place an order for the Nags after the successful user trials. If I am...

Here is the full split-up of the defence budget for fin yr 09-10!

The seeker on the Nag is of ‘Imaging Infrared (IIR)’ type. It has ‘lock-on-before launch’ (LOBL) capability with the seeker tracking the target even before firing. Basically, an IIR seeker images the target in the infrared spectrum based on the heat signatures of the target. It may be comparable...

Agreed! That s exactly the point I wanted to highlight. Some members were claiming the current budget to be 37 bil USD while the previous one to be 32 bil USD. That is often misleading. Don't go by the absolute figures, always calculate the defence budget as a percentage of the total...

Dude this JV was formed way back in 2007. That s when that statement was released. They 'worked towards' developing the HMD for two years now and finally it has been built in 2009! Since, you are/were at the Paris airshow, I suggest you visit the Samtel stall where they are displaying this HMD...

Before some of our members jump on to this news, let me clarify something- INR 1,05,600 crore = USD 21.843 Billion (assuming 1 USD = 48.285 INR by current exchange rate) INR 1,41,703 crore = USD 29.085 Billion So, neither the last defence budget nor the current one is anywhere close to the...

Hi Joshi, Thanks buddy! I am not able to post messages on your profile page! What s the problem?

Indeed a cool name! Apparently, it acquired that name coz of its unique and complex serpentine trajectory. The missile has just finished the trials. The Army has formally approved the missile and given it clearance. Now, the order will be placed! DRDO expects it to be a few thousand in number...

China has its own HJ-9 and HJ-10 series of 3rd gen anti-tank missiles. They are comparable to Nag but the tech is classified.

Spot on! The land version has a range of 4km while the air launched version called HELINA (Helicopter Nag) has a range of 7km.

Wish I could change the title of the thread buddy!

Since, you attached so much importance to the words "Based on......" in the posted pics, look below the name of the HMD, it says- "Indian Helmet Mounted Sight and Display for fighter aircraft" in 'plain English' too. Guess that seals the case in my favor. :azn: If not here is the original pdf...
