India's next big buy is a missile from US

[shchinese]

After buying them, we need the delivery directly directly in Arunachal. we can play some pingpong in the border.

China never wanted to deploy large amount of tanks in that area as those mountains are simply too harsh environment for launching large scale offense using tanks.

If you check my posts, I always mention two weapons:

1. guided rocket. like WS-2D.
2. missiles like CJ-10.

with these weapons, your capital can be hit from the border and the Neo-Nazi leaders can be executed in their office.

So what if you don't. Please confirm your claim. Then we will place some cruise missiles as well.

Ignoring the chinese trolll...the mods should really do somthing about them..they are getting annoying day by day

New Delhi: India is looking at the possibility of yet another major government-to-government military deal with the United States.

The army headquarters is in the advanced stages of evaluating the Javelin anti-tank missile for large-scale induction. If the missile suits India, it could lead to another FMS (foreign military sale) deal with the US, without competitive international tendering, and possibly even without extensive field trials.

Too many "If's" don't you think?

And more over i have my doubts if this story is reliable,....the writer does not know **** about the difference between shoulder based missiles and a carrier based missile.

There has to be a tender and a RFP for a order if one is placed, like the MMCRA, Things are getting more and more transparent you see.All one has to to is file a RTI and some one will get fired.!

AFAI can see Nag is a top attack missile. Watch the video posted by beckham. Javelin can be fired in top attack or direct attack mode. It can engage helis and fortified structures in direct attack mode.
Javelin is light weight shoulder fired. Nag needs Namicas for launch.

Thanks beckham for the video. Awesome demonstration of top attack.

Clearly they serve very different roles.

Old news but may be some day it true
The Hindu Business Line : Helicopter version of Nag under way

HAVING successfully completed the development phase of the third generation anti-tank missile Nag, Indian defence scientists are now working on two new versions — helicopter launched and man portable.

The helicopter version or ALH-Nag system, is being developed jointly by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the public sector, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) in association with the Army Aviation, the end user.

The missile system is expected to be integrated into the ALH (advanced light helicopter), the combat aircraft by end June.

It will have the capability to deploy up to eight missiles, according to Mr S.S. Mishra, Project Director of Nag, Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), here.

The first trial of this version is expected to be conducted towards the end of 2005.

It will give a major tactical advantage to the Army in battlefield, Mr Mishra said.

Missile scientists will also start working on the third generation, `Man Portable' Nag very soon. It would weigh less than 14 kg.

Currently, the US has second generation missiles in this class, Mr Mishra told Business Line.

On March 19, Nag, which has `fire and forget' and homing devices, completed the development trials, after two successful tests at the Army Test Range in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra.

The fifty-sixth and fifty-seventh tests, established all the required capabilities, making it one of the best amongits class in the world, he said.

User trials with the participation of the Indian Army are slated for the end of the year. Thereafter, once the Army places an order, the necessary numbers would be produced by the Hyderabad-based, Bharat Dynamics Ltd (BDL).

The public-sector, BDL has already taken up the pre-production on a limited scale.
