Indian missile specifications at a glance

[danger007]

Prithvi II class is also a single stage liquid-fuelled missile having a maximum warhead mounting capability of 500 kg, but with an extended range of 250 kilometres. It was developed with the Indian Air Force being the primary user. It was first test-fired on January 27, 1996 and the development stages were completed in 2004. "It was a fantastic launch. Two missiles aimed at two different targets, met all the mission objectives. It was a copy book success."


Prithvi III class (codenamed Dhanush meaning Bow) is a two-stage ship-to-surface missile. The first stage is solid fuelled with a 16 metric ton force (157 kN) thrust motor. The second stage is liquid fuelled. The missile can carry a 1,000 kg warhead to a distance of 350 km and a 500 kg warhead to a distance of 600 kilometres and a 250 kilogram warhead up to a distance of 750 kilometres. Dhanush is a system consisting of a stabilization platform (Bow) and the Missile (Arrow). Supposedly it is a customised version of the Prithvi and that the additional customizations in missile configuration is to certify it for sea worthiness. Dhanush has to be launched from a hydraulically stabilized launch pad. Its low range acts against it and thus it is seen a weapons either to be used to destroy an aircraft carrier or an enemy port. The missile has been tested from the surface ships many times.

Which stupid made this video? Making fake youtube videos with fake info is the new trend! Now stop this thread with these self-made fake videos. You are not contributing good way rather than these chest thumping videos.

Does India uses IIR Seeker in its SAM Missiles Currently??

Does India uses IIR Seeker in its SAM Missiles Currently??

No. Akash has command guidance and LRSAM/Barak-8 will have active radar seeker. Most of the SAM has active radar guidance or command guidance. Python-5 missile of the SPYDER system has IIR guidance.

No. Akash has command guidance and LRSAM/Barak-8 will have active radar seeker. Most of the SAM has active radar guidance or command guidance. Python-5 missile of the SPYDER system has IIR guidance.

But We should use IIR seeker for our AAD and PDV Missiles and future BMD Missiles

PDV's kill vehicle has IIR seeker and AAD has active radar seeker.

 

[Firemaster]

PDV's kill vehicle has IIR seeker and AAD has active radar seeker.

If We can develop IIR Seeker indigenous for Nag then why not for PDV And AAD.

Bro as I said we have IIR seeker on PDV and AAD as endo atmospheric interceptor has Ka band active radar seeker just like PAC-3. All the endo interceptors has active radar seekers.

I was referring to one of the statement on livefist that IIR seeker of PDV and AAD would be developed with Foreign collaboration.

That is for AD-2. AAD does not need IIR seeker. Ka band active radar homing just like PAC-3 is the best.

Ok
But The original question by me was that if we can develop IIR Seeker for Nag Missile then why we need foreign collaboration for AD-2
