Indian Missiles - News, Developments, Tests, and Discussions

[Vasily Zaytsev]

which neighbour ? Srilanka ? Bangladesh ?

You Know who.
we don't speak of its name.

yes,
lets say, if you can track incoming ballistic missile and when missile is about 1000-2000 meter altitude above its target.
Than, you can fire SAM's and also aircraft that you send in the air by tracking incoming missile will fire BVR missile or ordinary heat seeking missile. those sam's and A@A missiles will see incoming missile as a diving aircraft and can successfully engage it.Game over.

P.S. If you got Wii at your home than you should try 'HEATSEEKER' game.

If the missile is 1000 or 2000 mts above earth than it will take less than a second to reach the target. So no reaction time for the SAMs or AAMs. You have to count these as well......

1) If the ballistic missile (BM) carries nuclear warheads than it will not wait to reach 1000/2000 meters but before that it will detonate itself to cause maximum damage.

2) SAMs and AAMs are generally not designed to destroy extreme high speed targets.

Game: OK. Actually I never play comp games.

than, we must need Ballistic missile shield.

For AAD it can itnercept as low as 15 km, can be used as a SAM also.



It will be for our rivals

Yeah. But it needs minor changes to be a dedicated air defence missile against fighter aircrafts and cruise missile.

Not just 15 but it can even intercept at 5 km altitude.

Isn't India surrounded by all sorts of neighbors ??
we have powerful, weak, large small...

 

[Tejas-MkII]

May be in the next test they wil test those minor changes..

Still some people feels that DRDO makes crap

DRDO's recent success stories will really force them to eat their words

Success not one in one day it will take yr's and you can see the attitude of our arm force against DRDO they always neglecting them. also there is no proper R&D facilities and money given by our government.

 

[sudhir007]

which neighbour ? Srilanka ? Bangladesh ?

both Srilanka & Banladesh

 

[Progressive]

DRDO always scores, after 1 year you hear that it was in fact a failure.

Atleast we acknowledge failure. That is the greatness of our open society in India. You will be held accountable for failure.

As a wise man once said "You haven't learned anything if you haven't made any mistakes yet"

 

[AbuSalam]

both Srilanka & Banladesh

and they both have BM's

Manmohan Singh tried to be even-handed while giving away the National Technology Day awards to DRDO scientists. He commended their work on missiles, tanks, aircraft, electronic warfare, radar and communication systems. Then he went ballistic: “Our current level of self-reliance in defence R&D is less than our capabilities.”

DRDO chief V.K. Saraswat, who has shot down incoming missiles endo- and exo-atmosphere, made an interception bid within the solemn atmosphere: “...The responsibility for self-reliance should be shared by all stake-holders of MoD [ministry of defence],” meaning the brass-hats and the babus.

Another ICBM from the PM: “...Some defence projects have been delayed... DRDO [should] learn from these experiences and work more closely with the armed forces....”
Saraswat's ABM: “DRDO neither has the power to impose its products on its customer nor the mandate or capacity to produce the developed systems all by themselves.” A point missed by those who compare defence scientists with space and atomic scientists! Space savants don't have to sell their PSLV to anyone. DRDO has to 'sell' Tejas, Arjun and Lakshya to phoren-crazy customers.

Saraswat then launched his own ICBM at the brass-hats: “...While the temptation may be overwhelming to field proven, state-of-the-art imported systems, they [the services], too, have a role to play in the economic and industrial growth of the country.”

Defence scientists have been saying ad nauseam that the services should order local ware in bulk for the industry to grow. But the Army has ordered just 120 Arjun tanks and the Air Force 40 Tejas warjets. No plane-maker in the world, save Hindustan Aeronautics, would set up assembly lines for 40. The services say the systems have to be proven 100 per cent.

No such problem when importing! The MiG-29, indeed the world's finest interceptor, was bought eyes closed when Gorbachev offered it for the first time outside the Warsaw Pact. The Sukhoi-30, the world's best plane of its class, had not even flown when India committed to buy 230.

Qualitative requirements (QR) are diluted if the foreign seller reduces price. But no dilution for Arjun, come hell, highwater or Pakistan's Al Khalid tank. QRs are upped for local ware, midstream. Some missile caught the fancy of IAF in 2004 and the QR for Tejas was changed, after the prototypes had clocked hundreds of test hours. The entire wing, made of locally-invented composite material, had to be re-engineered from square-one on the graph sheet. Nag, the third world's first top-attack anti-tank missile, is still in the lab because the generals asked for a longer range, after it had completed trials.

The Navy asked DRDO to build an electronic warfare system in the 1980s. When DRDO delayed, the Navy went for import. The Public Accounts Committee was horrified that the Navy had “firmly stuck to the short time-frame given to [DRDO] while liberally revising the delivery schedule of the foreign vendor”.

Indeed, DRDO men need to be pulled up. They bite more than what they can chew. They promise the moon, and deliver meteors. They think of themselves as product-developers; they should be technology-developers. Hopefully, the Rama Rao report, which A.K. Antony is implementing, will rectify the lacunae.

Tailpiece: In the 1930s, Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin ordered the Royal Air Force to take Hampdens and Wellingtons even before the prototypes had been tested. He sent the Bristol Beaufort into production straight from the drawing-board. When the Luftwaffe locusts came to bomb Britain into Stonehenge age, the RAF pilots raced to meet them in more than 10,000 rookie planes. That trust, which the brave-hearts had on the wise-minds of their country, created 'the finest hour'.

I hope you did not make 10,000+ forum posts like this ... you did?

 

[peacemaker10]

yaya don worry ,its our money .we cn do watever we wnt .atleast we dont cry for money in front of other countries

Its not their fault bro. Their total defence budget is $5bn and our Akash order only is around the same budget, so the air is coming out of all the holes ..

 

[LCA Tejas]

AHHHH self delete....

buddy ROME IS NOT BUILT IN A DAY.

but when IT is was built rome was spectacular . same goes to DRDO.

ITS OUR SCIENTISTS OUR MONEY SO PLEASE DONT WORRY ABOUT IT
