LoL simple logic people.Cruise missiles are used against "ships" (which do move but, not fast enough to dodge a missle) and buildings(which do not move at all).Therefore not a lot of maneuvering is required to target them(though it shure does play a vital role in defeating a ships defences)
I...
ahhhhhhhh nicee.Now thats difficult to achieve!
LiveFist - The Best of Indian Defence
The article says these manoeuvrs are actually diversionary,ie it masks the general direction of the launcher warship.
Abt targeting a moving target , how fast can a target be?? 28 - 30 knots.Thats not a lot...
How much more manuverable it is now????.The target was a free floating ship.
It dosen't move a lot i suppose. Gotta know more abt it when the article says "worlds only manuverable missile".
I will try looking of more info.
Lakshya cannot be simply modified into a "harop".Its got a range of 150 km.Which is limited by both fuel load and control range(atlest i think so).And then comes the electro-optical sensors.Then there is the sofware part and chips.These techs are verry complex.It can be said that Lakshya is...
OMG i just found out a predator costs 4.5 mil and Harop 10!
This thing is very costly.I guess that is the reason why only 10 have been ordered.They are gonna be used in extreemely despirate situations only.
lol the article has not been written properly.
Indian rabbit i read in an article that harrop has a speed of 100 knots.
Its max altitude is 6000m.I think is flies fast and high enogh to avoid enemy
gun fire.
but the the problem is that these drones self distruct after their patrolling time...
Stop living in a world of your own:taz:.These drones dont come up in days.It takes years of R&D.Moreover, its not like, we are not putting efforts on our own.
Going by your logic our country will remain toothless for the world to
walk upon.
A balance had to be maintained
In this case whats...
"The IAI Harop (or IAI Harpy 2) is an unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) developed by the Malat (UAV) division of Israel Aerospace Industries. Rather than holding a separate high-explosive warhead, the drone itself is the main munition. This hunter-killer is designed to loiter the battlefield...
"While its PLANNED TRIAL ON SUNDAY was put off after the interceptor missile developed a technical snag in one of its sub-systems in the last minute, Monday’s trial had to be aborted as the target missile `Prithvi’ could not reach the pre-designated altitude leading to its deviation...
I just read on a forum that rifled barrel guns cannot fire "missles",and so is the case with Challenge2 tank (the only other tank with a rifled gun).Is this capability to fire a ATGM(LAHAT) using a rifled gun unique to Arjun??????
"Challenger 2 is equipped with a 120 mm (4.7-inch) 55 calibre...
U see the decision to ahead or not dependes on a persons perception.Id love to see a reactor which is risk free,but one dosen't exist.But that dosent mean that the current designs are too risky.The design according to our scientists is safe enough.
"Nothing"in this world is risk free.One may...
The safety systems would have been set up keeping in mind the stress they are gonna face in a situation of void,and moreover the design in itself ensures that a situation of void has minimum probability.Therefore there is no question about over loading them.
Well our scientists believe that...
This is the first time i have had a 1 on 1 debate with anyone on PDF and its on nuclear tech!lol i used to hate science.
we got a good debate going on here,lets keep it that way:cheers:
This reactor has its benifits.The reason why we are goin for it is beacuse they are more efficient.Now i agree with u there have been issues about safety,but our scientists believe that they have been able to overcome those.The reactors that are beeing built may very well be the safest fast...
According to this article the Void coeff is negative at the top of the core,That is exacly where the boiling likely commences.And at other areas it is 3.7,which is below the limit of 5(if coeff is below 5 energy release is considered insignificant).Combined with that there are multiple entry...
