there goes another thread down the drain

Ah I see you are living your delusional best.

Still not acknowledging the russian seeker.

So astra was encountered a glitch after meeting the “basic objective”

What was the basic objective???.. taking off


Like the random firing of R-73 from LCA??

What about DRDO's "small set of projects"? Running away? Don't wanna reply? lol

See the delusion??? Don't wanna acknowledge the thing in front of eyes!!! the basic objective was interception of the target and the missile did it? what more 'basic objective' do you want? should the missile again take shape and fly for another target???

Yup, so true, sometimes troll do get hijack the thread with their insistence, like Russian seeker is not present in astra.

lets have a re-look at the failure of astra.

went off as expected as it reached an electronically- simulated target in 15 seconds at an altitude of 12 km. “It didn't function as per our expectation after that,” he added.

What does that say??

Astra went to point A to point B, as targeted, but after that it was not working as expected. Basically lost responding to the commands.

Is this satisfies

YOU ARE A TROLL

Thats the reason, I opened a thread to discuss the ASTRA failure, but mods have other idea.

Why is he so persistent with the denial, after all the sources been provided that Astra has nothing but russian agat seeker.

Hell, you cannot ignore him as he claims he only know everything, rest being...zero knowledge

lol

You have proved yourself mann! You try to run away from the initial posts about astra's 'failed tests' now just keep posting BS. Agat seeker? another BS!!! Can you prove that Astra has Agat seeker? Astra's diameter is much less than that of other contemporary Russian BVR missiles.

Maybe,

But how much DODO "scientists know is the question.

Man, EADS offered a failed MAKO trainer tech to LCA says a lot.

Is it better to fail trying than not try at all.

Titanium, why Pakistan did not have BVRAAM till recently whereas the much criticized Mig 21s also have the ability to fire them. Take a reality check and a good look at your country's capabilities before you go gaga on DRDO.

YOU ARE A TROLL

I call it running away!!!

When someone can't reply, this is the way usually choose to run away.

A guy found a simple glitch in Astra tests and starts a thread named 'Astra missile tests failed' but he doesn't know anything about it and keep posting BS. Now he call me a troll!!! Strange really!!!!

Titanium, your peanut brain can't figure out why Pakistan did not have BVRAAM till recently whereas the much criticized Mig 21s also have the ability to fire them. Take a reality check and a good look at your country's capabilities before you go gaga on DRDO.

Robert Hewson, editor of Jane's Air Launched Weapons, in a March 2003 issue of Jane's Defence Weekly stated, "The basic Astra design uses a metallic airframe with a long low aspect-ratio wing and a single-stage smokeless rocket motor. After launch, the missile will use a combination of inertial mid-course guidance and/or data-linked targeting updates before it enters its terminal acquisition phase. In a head-on engagement, the Astra will have a maximum range of 80 km. The missile's onboard radio-frequency seeker has been largely designed in India but incorporates a degree of outside assistance, according to DRDO sources. It will have an autonomous homing range of 15 km. The missile's warhead is a pre-fragmented directional unit, fitted with a proximity fuze. A radar fuze already exists for the Astra, but the DRDO is currently working on a new laser fuze. According to the DRDO, the first ground-launched aerodynamic trials of the Astra will begin within the first half of this year. This will be followed by the next phase of controlled in-flight test launches."

Thanks for the news, I somewhere read it but forgot where it was!

So you have finally decided to run away?

You could not even face DRDO's 'small set of project'!!! That shows your knowledge and constantly posting BS without knowledge.

The Astra’s seeker is still imported from Russia, but the DRDO hopes to develop one.

Astra air-to-air missile to make its first flight

Looks exactly like this

Looks exactly like this

NO it does not. Attention to detail is something that should be taught at schools.

Notice the tail control surface contours for example.

 

[Titanium]

When shown the source of seeker, the say so what!!

When shown the similarities of the missiles they go on nuances.


Why are they so insecure?? Is it because...nothing is indigenous, like south african cheetah and israeli kafir, french are pulling one more trick??
