The dhanush experience has helped us develop ABM? Please sir.. Elaborate.
I was not bashing DRDO. You take it whatever way you want.
Source to what? The dhanush being a tech demonstrator? Has it been inducted? No. Is it on any ships? No. You want it to come with 'Tech demonstrator' written...
it has a very high level of accuracy I agree.. But I'm sure you know thats not enough to hit a moving ship. We're going to need terminal stage guidance! And That's not there on any missile in the prithvi series. I respect you guys' opinion. But these fanboys quoting stuff out of their dreams is...
So you quote some sort of a source called 'domain-d'?
I get my info from the literally thousands of articles available on the prithvi series. Read up.
Do you people even realise what it means to be able to hit a moving ship? It's not a game of goti. Like kinetic said, it is possible if we were...
The 'news' is not a quote from a scientist or government official. It's written by the friggin reporter. You fanboys piss me off. Go read about the dhanush. You need precision terminal stage guidance for an ASBM. The dhanush follows orbital trajectory after initial boost.
And The Dhanush is from...
Oh for the love of god. Prithvis do not have terminal stage guidance. The only way they could be an ASBM is if you hope to fire a hundred of them in the approximate area of a ship and hipe the sub orbital ballistic trajectory will guide them to a hit.
You also need real good math. :lol:
did I say over expensive? Did I even use the words R&D? Let me break this down for you. I said that the dhanush programme, which was intended to be India's Ship launched ballistic missile is going to end up as an expensive tech demonstrator. Which means it wont be inducted. AND IT WONT BE!
Not...
Stupid sensationalist journalism. All he said was that we will start commercial negotiations by the end of this month. Where did he state that the winner would be declared? The commercial negotiations could just imply that they've begun discussing the offset clause.
Wtf is wrong with you? Anything that doesn't give you an ego boost is a troll? I didn't mean to compare with any other programmes. Stop being a blind nationalist who can't take constructive criricism. And above all stop being an A$$hole
Look at the number of people who've agreed to my post.
You wont last long here if you post like you currently are. Chill man. Why bring Kargil into this?
This is an international forum. Be professional, not fanboyish
Akash is also a point defence SAM my friend. The difference is that in the Akash the missiles have to be ground tracked. Therefore so many radars per squadron. In the SPYDE you need one command unit and launchers. That's it. The missiles do all the tracking.
I like being on the side that has...
Shut the frak up before being arrogant for no reason. If you had the literacy to read through my whole post, I did say that the experience has helped us develop the sagarika. did I say it was a failure? Did I? I said it wont be deployed. And that makes it a tech demonstrator.
And AFAIK they shifted to solid fueled ones because of the reasons I mentioned abpve.
I did not say they are not capable of being launched vertically. I said VLS. And I meant Sagarika. It's a submarine launched variant of the Shaurya
Negatory. It uses a completely homegrown radar and FCC. So it's similarities with the 2K12 end at the design.
Don't take any credit away from our guys. It's not every day that they recieve an order upwards of 5 billion dollars
The Dhanush programme is going to end up being a very expensive technology demonstrator. The liquid fuel makes it impractical to actually carry on a ship. Plus it is not compatible with VLS. I know the experience has helped us develop missiles like the Sagarika. But about time we stopped working...
