1. I really admire your discerning eyesight w.r.t. welding seams and uneven surface of INS Vindhayagiri hull. 2. Is the secondary radar of P-17A comes from Lanza of Spain or Saab-BEL collaboration for RAWL-03? 3. What's the exact difference between Astra-2 and Astra-3 BVRAAM w.r.t. picture names above? Internet is just chaotically crazy over range, seeker, propulsion, etc. Some say 300km range!!! 4. Why does MoD still continues to pursue regressive nomination over fair RFPs to select military vendors such as w.r.t. to replenishment vessels. Doesn't the NDA govt keep condemning INC era practices & corruption every now and then? 5. Are the premium P-28 ASW corvettes fitted with ACTAS? 6. Why did you say the damage will be minimal when the source codes of LCA is leaked? It wil end of in dark net!
7. What's the commercial cost of such Ku-band and X-band seekers? 8. Is the Jaguar Darin-III upgrade complete? 9. Just like the P-28 ASW, the ASW-SWC is not equipped with air defence systems. This is bizarre!:https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2023/06/indias-asw-shallow-water-craft-project-progresses-amidst-uncertainties
You might not share my views but believe it or not I am of the firm opinion that the groundwork is being laid by the US State Dept and various US State Dept funded foundations in cahoots with the academia and judiciary and the civil society along with the united opposition to finish off India. Freebies are being weaponized to derail the India story like UPA-2 did and the reservations cat is being set among the private sector to ensure a catastrophic end. If this diabolical plan doesn't succeed and Modi impossibly manages to fix the durbaris and the foundations somewhat like the turks have done then sanctions are going to be imposed upon us like China or Russia. All the negative press against India and legislating on caste in the US in addition to keeping Paki and Kashmir issues alive are meant to create future grounds for balancing and sanctioning us.

1.What are design the flaws of BFSR and BSR that you pointed out on another thread? In a mobile network antenna is always optimized by changing azimuth and tilt based on coverage testing as long as height can be adjusted and electromagnetic signal propagation depends on other factors that large depends on location of deployment/ installation. So it's more important to increase power/ strength of the signal emitted from antenna by optimization of impedence among other factors. Same principle is applied to any antenna including that of radar.
2. My personal experience suggests L&T, Mahindra, Tata etc. don't believe in R&D. They purchase license, blue print from either foreign sources or from Government agencies. So I will be rather surprised if L&T AAA radar is designed and developed by them.
Prasun sir, 1) When you say other configurations exist for ACTAS stowage, does that mean ACTAS can't be seen externally in some ships that are equipped with them?
2) How many ships in the IN so far have Atlas Electronic ACTAS equipped?
3) Can you share a source or book for Naval electronic warfare?
4) Have Indian navy ships been equipped with the full range version of the brahmos anti ship cruise missile?
Sir, The 10 trainers out of the 83 are of MK1 standard... is it true that they will be delivered this yr only along with the 8 trainers of the initial 40 mk1 order?
To SOUMYA RAY: 2) They come from INDRA of Spain in knocked-down condition & are assembled under licence by TATA. 3) Astra-1 comes with AGAT JSC’s 9B-1348 active RF seeker. Astra-2 comes with RCI-developed ‘desi’ RF seeker. Astra-3 with ramjets & SFDR motor will have RCI-developed AESA RF seeker. 4) Then how will the DPSUs survive? Visit any PSU & DPSU & you will find out that each of them has enormous townships to house their employees—enormous vote-banks. That’s why no one ‘neta’ dares to fully privatise them! 5) Of course. 6) They can always be re-written. 7) It depends on the type of seeker & its volume production orders. Anything from US$800,000 till US$3.5 million. 8) Not yet. 9) SW-ASW vessels will operate within Indian territorial waters & wil therefore always be protected by coastal air-defence artillery networks.
To ASHISH: Are you of the view that despite 77 years of independence India remains as brittle & corrosive as its previous colonial avatar???
To PARTHASARATHI & THEINDIAN: Mere rumours, as we all know by now.
To DHANU G & SANTOSH: It indeed is FAKE NEWS. Elmentary mathematics proves that it is FAKE News. If 83 Tejas Mk.1As are to be delivered at a rate of 16 per year starting next year, then HAL will deliver them all by 2029. By that time the Tekas-AF Mk.2 will be ready for series production, since flight-tests will begin by late next year & will last till 2028 PROVEDED 4 LSP-series Tejas-AF MK.2s are available for test-flights, with each of them clocking 25 flight-hours every month to attain the figure of 2,000 flight-hours reqd for the airworthiness certification process.
To AD: 1) The most obvious flaw is the deficient height of the radar antenna arrays of the BSR & BFSR, since a SHORADS is reqd to intercept hostile targets at beyond-visual ranges. Over flat terrain, any low-flying hostile target can now be detected at least 22 miles away by OSA-AKM SHORADS, thus presently very little early-warning time. Consequently, by increasing the height of the radars (like the Rohini 3-D CAR does), the horizon can be extended & additional early-warning time secured. Only terminal air-defence systems like cannon-firing AAA can have ground-based fire-control radars & optronics but the target-detection radar still has to remain elevated. The problem is that DRDO-developed SHORADS ar tested & trialled over flat terrain in Balasore, Pokhran, the Army AAD College a Gopalpur & the IAF AAD Test-Site in Surya Lanka. Ths same problem was with the Rohini BSR & thus when it was first deployed over mountainous terrain & in sub-zero temperatures, it performed sub-optimally. Looks like the DRDO has not not learnt from such experiences. 2) Nothing wrong with that if private-sector OEMs offer guaranteed lifelong product-support for their end-products & guarantee operational sovereignty over such end-products—which is all that the end-usrs want.
To HARSH: 1) Yes, that’s correct. 2) All 24 ACTAS are on-board various warships. Only the IN’s SSKs & SSGNs hav yet to receive their thin-line towed-array sonars. 3) Here it is:
4) Why should the IN require such missiles? It does not have such long-range targetting resources.
To VINAYAK: The 10 Tejas Mk.1A operational conversion trainers will have the same cockpit avionics configuration as the single-seat Tejas Mk.1As. They will not be the same as the 8 Tejas Mk.1 tandem-seaters that are now in delivery. Hence, delivery of 10 Tejas Mk.1A tandem-seaters will take a longer time to be dlivered.

Finally 100 more Tejas MK1A for IAF, so a great counter for J10C especially when armed with AESA radar, Astra mk2,mk1 and ASRAAM?
