Indian Military Picture Thread

Really? Do you have a link?

I cant really believe that they are actually building a prototype already

Thats a civilian Ilysuhin

i got that pics for a Facebook page.. the 1st flight of the plane is scheduled to be in 2016, so 1st prototype must be built in at lest before 2015.

Well, never trust random posters

well you r right, but that page is administrated by some ex-service men.

And who told you that? The FB page admin?

not everybody but some are ex-service men.
I know one of the admin. he is my neighbour...

OK ^^ if you say so

That's certainly not the MRTA. The diameter of the fuselage is too small for a Mil Transporter, while the nose and windshield are not as per the MRTA design as shown in static displays.

CSIR Developed State-of-the-Art Marksmanship Training System Approved for Induction into the Indian Army

New Delhi: A state-of-the-art target training system, DHVANI (Detection and Hit Visualization using Acoustic N-wave Identification) developed by CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL), Bengaluru, for perfecting marksmanship skills by accurately determining the location of bullet impact and providing real-time feedback, has been validated and approved for induction into the Indian Army. After rigorous field trials at Army ranges in Bengaluru, Secunderabad, and Infantry School Mhow, DHVANI will now be formally handed over to the Indian Army in Secunderabad tomorrow (on 03 July 2014).

The marksmanship training requires positive and negative reinforcement of shooting techniques immediately after each shot is fired. However, the manual system currently used by the Indian Army involves the marksman firing shots at the target and subsequently walking up to the target (about 300 m) and identifying whether the shots were a hit or a miss. This primitive type of marksmanship training exhibits not only high turnaround times but is also inconsistent, unreliable, inaccurate and subjective. Furthermore, the marksmanship training systems available from advanced countries for sale are mostly based on old technology of 1980s, which also have exorbitant cost of ownership as they are not customized for the Indian environment and necessitate expensive after-sales service due to the black-box approach of the manufacturers.

This modern indigenous marksmanship training system, DHVANI is tailor made by CSIR-NAL to meet the requirements of the Indian Army at a cost lower by 40 per cent of the cost of similar systems available elsewhere in the world without compromising on the performance – the whole process i.e. firing a shot to displaying of results at the shooter end takes less than half a millisecond. At the shooter end, a multi-functional interactive GUI on aMIL grade laptop displays the results. Furthermore, a comprehensive database containing personnel details, shots fired and performance statistics ensures comprehensive logging for later analysis. The system originally developed for use by the Indian Army has potential application for use by the paramilitary forces and also in the sports sector.

The entire development process beginning from the Indian Army’s request to the development of the prototype testing took only 10 months. Each prototype currently costs Rs. 9 lakh/firer lane, which is significantly lower than the price tag of Rs. 15-18 lakh for each firer lane of older generation wired systems in use with the Indian Army.

The system is based on the basic principles of gas dynamics and aero-acoustics. Essentially, a bullet is a supersonic projectile, which generates a shock wave from its leading edge, continuously at every point of its supersonic travel. At any instant along the bullet path, the shock wave envelope propagates in an invisible-cone continuously outward at an angle related to its Mach number. The pressure wave in air caused due to the passing of the bullet results in a pressure profile known as‘N-wave’ because of its shape.

The hit location of the bullet is then determined accurately by using an array of sensors to record the acoustic pressure rise due to the passing shock from the bullet. Using advanced algorithms developed at CSIR-NAL, the recorded signal from the sensors are analyzed for detection of N-wave, and the geometrical shape of the shock wave is then used to determine the coordinates of the bullet on the target. These coordinates are then wirelessly transmitted to a display at the shooter end. The entire process starting from firing a shot to the display of results at the shooter end takes less than half a millisecond.

If the renders/models of the MRTA have been accurate then NO WAY this is the MRTA. The MRTA is a high wing design what is pictured doesn't appear to be and this looks like a civilian airliner not a military transport a/c.

1.) And who made sure that not a single shipload of reinforcements or equipment made it into West Pakistan? Who made sure that the Bengalis were armed, trained and motivated? Who made sure that that the Pak army could not stick its head out without being attacked by IAF planes?

We took every advantage we could get, played out all our political cards and showed the world how well we mastered joint ops between all services, intelligence work and blitzkrieg tactics.

You dont give a "fair fight" to your enemy in war. It only happens in fiction.

2.) Why do you guys always come up with 1965 ?

India was at its lowest point at that time..... the political turmoil after Nehrus death, the military debacle after 1962 and the Indian economy lying in pieces. Pakistan knew about these factors and planned their attack well, but nevertheless India held Kashmir while Pakistan ended up fighting for Lahore!

And it does not matter whether the PAF had more A2A kills in 1965 or not.... because in the grand scheme of things, Pakistan failed to achieve its aim of capturing Kashmir horrible while India managed to push the attack over the border into Pak land.

Buddy...a defeat would be if you would have defeated us on our mainland which you never did despite being 11 times bigger interms of poppulation and twice the size of our military, not a territory surrounded you by three sides and 2000 km away from our home...any army wouldn't have survived in such a scenario..even if it were the americans
In 1965, on every battlefield...Pakistan was at a better position..despite the odds in your favour..as I mentioned...so this fact is enough of a slap on someone who dreams of defeating Pakistan just cuz of their army's size.

Don't make a fool out of yourselves,
Bangladesh was a part of your country,and if you couldn't defend it its your problem. India fought war from two fronts at the same time,put its Air force,Army and Navy to better use and ripped a part of your country.

In 1965? When you ended up defending Lahore?

Nonsense, first of all, it was never our intention invade Pakistans mainland! And east Pakistan was part of Pakistan until the IA intervened

In every war, it was about Kashmir (excluding 1971).

And in 1965 all odd were against US! Our economy was down, the Indian Army was badly equipped and morale was low due to the recent defeat against the Chinese and the political class which left the military alone while the political climate was also bad due to Nehrus death..... and yet we managed to push the attack back to the outskirts of Lahore!

In a war you cannot say that we lost because of this or that reason or we had xyz disadvantage.
Because if both sides are equal then how can anyone win? One side always has the upperhand in any battle. For ex: even in the mythical war of 300 the Spartans though outnumbered were high on training and determination so they won. It's just an example but it makes the point.
It all depends on how one side uses whatever it has for its advantage and how it blocks the enemy from using what they have.
India was successful in stopping Pakistan from using its full force, you can't give excuses. That was a goal which India successfully achieved with meticulous precision planning.
