DRDO's 🇮🇳 Indigenous Helina and Dhruvastra Anti-Tank Guided Missiles Set for Mass Production

[NG Missile Vessels]

About:
●The Helina (the Indian Army version) and Dhruvastra (Indian Airforce version) are helicopter-launched versions of third-generation anti-tank guided missiles (the Nag missile system).

●The missile system has all-weather day-and-night capability and can defeat battle tanks with conventional armor and explosive reactive armor.

●SANT missile is the fourth-generation missile upgraded variant of HELINA. The upgraded missile has an electro – optical thermal imager.

●SANT missile has a range between 15 to 20 km, making it one of the best airborne anti-armour guided missiles in the world. Unlike other missiles of this class, it can destroy targets from a long-range.

●The missile is equipped with a nose-mounted active radar seeker, which enables the launch platform to be located at a safe distance from the target area.

●The missile will have both Lock-on After Launch and Lock-on Before Launch capabilities.

●This means that the missile can lock onto its target either before or after it is launched. This feature provides greater flexibility and adaptability in a variety of combat situations.

Indigenous:
●The missile systems have been designed and developed indigenously by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

Operations:
•The ‘Helina’ and ‘Dhruvastra’ can engage targets both in direct hit mode as well as top attack mode.

●Top Attack Mode: The missile is required to climb sharply after launch and travel at a certain altitude, then plunge on top of the target.

●Direct Attack Mode: The missile travels at a lower altitude, directly striking the target.

India is the only country which produce 2nd and 3rd gen missile and even aircrafts while 1st gen not succeeded.

ATGMs - Important against large mechanized Combined Group Armies of PLA.
-We already have Milan-2T & Konkurs-M.
-Get MPATGM double quick to supplement NAMICA.
-Even the Chinese don't have an equivalent missile!

They keep on experimenting and coming up with newer variants and still are left high n dry.

In the end the bulk is always foreign supplied with a laughable quantity of own make.

I usually don't have time to reply to your moronic claims.

But this one is an exception.

Wtf is a mpatgm? It's simply an AT missile of questionable make get to be produced let alone enter service.

These coomerfags in Pakistan don’t even have expertise in building basic motorcycle engines let alone hi-tech defence stuff and still they've the gall to mock Indian weapons is nothing more than a joke

He is not wrong,, Nag series has been a big clusterfk for India for a long time. Proof of the pudding really is in operationalization.
Look at Astra series relatively good development track- Operationalized and deployed at this point.

@DESERT FIGHTER

Also remember this is a Pakistani forum, they can mock as much as they want.

I don't troll much and you know that bro.
He's comparing an under development missile with a series of mass produced Chinese fnf missiles. Many of which have been battle tested in recent conflicts.
