For as long as DENEL remains blacklisted by the MoD, I fail to see how this born-again T-5/52 motorised howitzer can possibly take part in a future competitive bidding process initiated by the MoD. The same problem is afflicting the FICV offer from TATA, since Rheinmetall—another company blacklisted by the MoD—is the principal strategic industrial partner of TATA for the FICV project. My personal view is that for 155mm/52-cal mounted gun systems/motorised howitzers, it is best to procure those types that can even be airlifted & transported by aircraft like C-130J-30. However, the downside of this option is that presently, only the CAESAR from France’s NEXTER Systems (teamed with L & T) fits the bill. The rest are all too big for the C-130J-30, but can easily be transported by C-17A Globemaster IIIs & IL-76MDs. If not the CAESAR, then the next best options are the ATMOS from the JV between Soltam Systems & Kalyani Group, or the NORA from the JV between Serbia’s Yugoimport SPDR & Punj Lloyd. <br />Regarding BMD-related R & D, I’m all for it provided the goals are clear-cut, i.e. first countering imminent threats like NLOS-BSMs & long-range MBRLs, followed next by developing interceptors for neutralising TBMs, IRBMs & MRBMs. Consequently, it is the content-writer of WIKI who has been unable to comprehend my thoughts/appreciations regarding this subject (on which I dwelt upon yesterday afternoon@4.41PM in this very thread).Prasun K.

TATA Power SED has developed the gun-control system’s vectronics (minus the RLG-INS, which is imported), while TATA Motors has supplied the 8 x 8 truck. The ENTIRE howitzer is FULLY IMPORTED & it is DENEL’s T-5/52 system that was originally mounted on a TATRA vehicle back in 2002. Presently, only the OFB can locally manufacture most of the structural components of any howitzer. Neither TATA nor the Kalyani Group nor L & T nor Punj Lloyd possess such engineering/industrial/test & validation capabilities.Prasun K.

RF seeker for PDV is actually the command-line-of-sight in-flight mid-course navigation mechanism, while for the terminal stage the IIR sensor will be used. PDV is not required to have high agility as much as lateral acceleration with higher energetic propellants. At an altitude of 200km no incoming missile can undertake any kind of agile manoeuvre. That’s why the AD-1 & AD-2 will have more agility than the PDV. Whether the inbound missile is conventionally armed or nuclear-armed is immaterial. <br /><br />To RAHUL: Only Patriot PAC-3 is available from the US, not THAAD. Nor are the threats imminent. The Barak-2/Barak-8 MR-SAM/LR-SAM combination will be good enough for intercepting NLOS-BSMs of the type now being fielded by India’s neighbours. Future variants of Tamir will suffice for 60km/80km-range MBRLs. Beyond that the Stunner will be reqd. <br /><br />To FARIS: Even though China suffers from the ‘Melaka dilemma’, it will be at least a decade before any PLAN-operated CBG can venture out of the South China Sea. An ocean-going CBG will require at least four destroyers, four fleet replenishment vessels & four SSNs, items that the PLAN does not as yet possess in adequate quantities. If at all any maritime exclusion zone is declared by China, then it will be to apply pressure on either Vietnam or ROC, no one else. It will indeed be cost-prohibitive & utterly futile to install BrahMos VLS on to any existing SSK from a structural & standpoint. However, on board SSGNs, the BrahMos VLS will be a perfect & lethal fit. <br /><br />To Anon@11.09PM: MTOW of the FGFA as specified by the IAF will be lesser, about 18.5 tonnes, against the 24 tonnes for the PAK-FA. FGFA will have far greater composites content, while for the PAK-FA the Ruskies want to continue using titanium-alloys. <br /><br />To Mr.RA 13: It would be imprudent for a missile with a range of 25km to have a tactical nuclear warhead. It would have made sense had the missile been able to go out to at least 60km. By the way, do read this as it is quite interesting: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/towards-a-pakafghan-reconciliation-/1039688/0<br /><br />And I’ll post later tonight by far the most hilarious content to be posted in this blog. It concerns all the stupid questions that were put forward to the CNS yesterday morning by the ‘desi’ journalists, & the befitting retorts given back by the CNS.Prasun K.

The Chinese are very nervous of the fact that their merchant and energy fleet on their way from the Middle East to China is extremely vulnerable to IN and USN interdiction. <br /><br />There has been so much speculation and concern expressed by various parties as to why China would want a carrier but it is often forgotten that unlike Uncle Sam, China does not need the ability to project power on a global scale - but only in its backyard. <br /><br />Would you agree that worst thing that can happen for the Philippines, Vietnam snd Malaysia would be if the PRC declared a 'Maritime exclusion Zone' in the Spratleys and gave warning that any ship entering this zone would be attacked? Or is would this move be too risky as it wound bring the USN in? Also, is all the recent Chine assertiveness just sabre rattling or are they really willing to go to war if another claimant ups the ante?<br /><br />Would be to cost prohibitive to fit a VLS section into the Scorpene for the launching of Brahmos?

For the fact remains that the powers-that-be in Male are pitted against a JV: that between India’s GMR Infrastructure & Malaysia’s MAHB. Next, do try to do some research on the origins of the term ‘Hindustan’. The landmass called Hindustan ceased to exist since August 14, 1947. And Hindustan means the landmass to the east of Hindu Kush mountain range, i.e. Indo-Gangetic Plain, & does not have any religious connotations whatsoever. And as for the past ‘history’, i.e. from the time Mohd bin Qasim set foot in Sindh, the lesser said the better.Prasun K.

It is more of a tactic actually. By escaping long range survellience radars and flowing close to the ground Jaguar will be targetted by a large variety of SHORADS,V-SHORADS, MANPADS , radar directed artillery.So by forcing the ac to fly at low level you are actually letting the ac to enter into its own death trap. Further Jaguar has no MAWS. So it will not get any warning of incoming MANPADS. And at low alltitudes there is little reaction time and no way of engaing in manuvers to break missile lock. So Jag is dead meat.<br /><br />Besides IAF has first decided to fit Elta 20600P RTP in Jaguar IS as part of Darrin 3. It offered standoff survellience as well as targetting data in all weathers and had SAR,ISAR modes Then IAF went for nose mounted MMR instead of it. So, MMR of Jaguar will be truely a MMR with all A2G and A2A modes of EL/M-2032 along with terrain avoidance. Jaguar combat radius is second only to Su-30. Jaguar will also be used in deep BAI strikes apart from close-support .<br /><br />Nose of Sea Harrier LUSH is different from Jaguar IM .<br /><br />Most Jaguars have IFR now. Around 120 will be fully upgraded.<br /><br />What is DBS ? All SAR capable radars have this mode.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-49857264748215541682012-12-03T18:04:52.615+05:302012-12-03T18:04:52.615+05:30Want to know why india will never be able to break...Want to know why india will never be able to break out of the suncontinent? never mind those guys next door.

They never had IFR probes since the early 1980s. Nose-sections of Jaguars—be it IM or IS—will be the SAME/IDENTICAL for accommodating the EL/M-2032 MMR. EL/M-2032 MMRs meant for tactical interdictors & close air-support aircraft have never had SAR/ISAR modes & will never need to have such modes. GMTI & DBS are far more important for precision-strike. Sorties will be flown at medium altitudes ONLY AFTER sustainable air-superiority can be achieved, which against the PAF or PLAAF is doubtful. For the first 72 to 96 hours, all interdiction sorties will be low-level. <br /><br />To ABS: Of course, without a doubt. Since such aircraft tend to fly above the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau, they can be easily detected by even long-range civilian ATC radars. And unlike India’s side of the LAC, there are no valleys close to the border on the Chinese side, making terrain-masking flights totally impossible for the PLAAF.<br /><br />To Anon@1.08PM: Who says they’re not participating? Just because a ‘desi’ news reporters fails to mention these companies does not mean they’re not interested in the Indian market. The most probable (never exact) cause for the Jaguar IS crash will be identifiable ONLY AFTER the crash wreckage is fully recovered for in-depth forensic analysis.<br /><br />To Anon@1.31PM: It was not Dr VKS had said, but what the ‘desi’ news reporter interpreted the information to be & used his/her imagination to draft the story. The same had happened when such ill-informed ‘desi’ news reporters from THE HINDU had earlier claimed that the Nirbhay cruise missile will be turboprop-powered!!! There’s no need for an RF-seeker when an IIR seeker with higher target engagement probability is used. The PDV’s warhead section containing the IIR sensor will be the kill-vehicle. PDV will offer THAAD-like interception capabilities. Russia’s operational BMD system uses nuclear warheads, something India does not want to go for. The larger AD-1 is for neutralising MRBMs & IRBMs while the smaller AD-2 is for neutralising TBMs & NLOS-BSMs.<br /><br />To RAHUL: Personally, I believe that only AD-1 & AD-2 will be operationalised in large numbers & will make use of EL/M-2258 volume-search/target engagement radars fir protecting VAs & VPs against NLOS-BSMs & possibly TBMs. PDV will remain a technology demonstration project aimed at sending a clear signal to one’s adversary that any attempt to formalise a warfighting doctrine that calls for using conventionally-armed IRBMs or MRBMs as terror weapons against highly populated Indian cities will be neutralised. India’s R & D on BMD is not geared towards degrading the adversary’s nuclear deterrence capabilities; rather, it is all about outspending an enemy & convincing an enemy that any attempt to utilise ballistic missiles in large numbers as mass-terror weapons against civilian targets will be a futile exercise. In other words, India wants countries, for instance Iran & Pakistan, to make a formal declaration that ballistic missiles will never be used against civilian targets like cities, i.e. preventing another round of ‘war of the cities’ of the type Iran & Iraq were engulfed in during the 1980s. If such declarations are forthcoming, then the DRDO-led BMD programme’s PDV component will not get operationalised & will remain a technology demonstration project. On the other hand, if such declarations are not forthcoming from Pakistan & if India is forced to bulk-produce & deploy PDV interceptors, then this will only degrade the credibility of China’s & Pakistan’s nuclear deterrence posture, something that both China & Pakistan I’m sure would like to avoid. Therefore, right now, it is a wait-and-see game that’s being played & only the future will tell which side blinks first.Prasun K.

Not Fincantieri, but Finmeccanica. And no, the AW-101 contract was not subjected to any corrupt practices. What was corrupted was the RSH evaluation process in which the AW-119 could not even pre-qualify & therefore Abhishek verma & Co were hired to try to reverse this decision & also for lobbying for the supply of A-109Ps for Delhi Police’s SWAT team. Lastly, when Finmeccanica isn’t linked to the Rafale at all, how then can the M-MRCA procurement process be jeapordised? If anything, it may only serve to harm the interests of the Eurofighter consortium, of which Finmeccanica is a member.<br /><br />To Anon@10.30AM: Yes, the network will be in place by the time bulk deliveries of Barak-2 MR-SAMs begin. The Barak-2 will be a far better option for India when it comes to neutralisation of NLOS-BSMs, since barak-2 will be a generation ahead of David’s Sling. No RFPs will be issued for any off-the-shelf purchases of foreign AEW & CS, since the DRDO has already hijacked this project & now wants to develop a homegrown AEW & CS using the A330-200 airframe. Had the MoD heeded the IAF’s advice, then by now follow-on orders for up to six more A-50I PHALCONs could have been placed, since Russia’s Ulyanovsk-based Aviastar is now able to series-produce IL-76-90 airframes quickly & have them ferried to Beriev Aircraft Co for fitment of antenna radomes. The DRDO’s proposed A330-200 AEW & CS will at best be available only after 2020. How can the proposed 65,000-tonne IAC-2 be classified as being ‘small’??? And FGFA will not be as heavy as PAK-FA. <br /><br />To Anon@11.18AM: Like I said before, the PLAN’s priority is to establish naval supremacy in the South China & East China Seas, which may be quite difficult in itself given the presence of the US Navy & JMSDF in these areas. Furthermore, Japan will not sit tight & become a fence-sitter & will instead most likely built an aircraft carrier-based battle group of its own in future. Therefore, all in all the PLAN’s VBG would not like to make matters worse by trying to enter the Indian Ocean, just as the IN’s CBGs will not attempt to make their presence felt in the South China Sea.<br /><br />To Anon@11.43AM: Firstly, the GSQRs for such weapons are still being drafted. Secondly, when in-country competitive firing trials are conducted, they will last for at least 3 years. Which means final selection is still four years away (2016). The TAR-21 has an obvious advantage since it is already in service with all three armed services, plus with the CAPFs.<br /><br />To Anon@11.47AM: V-22 with triangular antenna radome has not yet been showcased to anyone in India. It still remains a paper design & the IN is unlikely to order it unless the US Navy itself becomes the launch customer. The IN’s foreign weapons procurement philosophy is simple: procure only those weapon systems that are proven & are already in service or are likely to enter service with the supplier-country’s armed forces.<br /><br />To HUNT: It is an issue of cyber-security, since malware can always be embedded within such imported microprocessors. That’s precisely why China’s OEMs have designed & produced dedicated MIL-SPEC microprocessors for exclusive use by the PLA on board various platforms & weapon systems.Prasun K.

That's why IMO most navies during the 80's and 90' didn't bother to arm their subs with SAMs. <br /><br /><br />Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09300307989222935609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-56505162604564752412012-12-03T13:59:03.615+05:302012-12-03T13:59:03.615+05:30Hi Prasun,Even if phase 2 of BMD is successful , i...Hi Prasun,Even if phase 2 of BMD is successful , it will be deployed for protection of NCR & Mumbaii only. Are any more cities to be protected. At present IA formantions , storage areas of tanks , ordance depots nd other vital war sustainence infrastructure ; IAF airbases , radar sites are facing immediate threats from PLA & PA massed fure assaults of TBM , NLOS-BSMs. What is preventing IA & IAF HQ from placing mass orders of PAC-3 , THAAD or similar systems. PAC-3 systems in large nos are required for neutralising TBM, NLOS-BSM. PAC-3 can also double up as a CMD system. Are Army nd airforce waiting for some miracle to happen ?Rahulnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-83859259142141642592012-12-03T13:31:26.548+05:302012-12-03T13:31:26.548+05:30Sir,Your Home-Grown Anti-Missile Shield For New De...Sir,Your Home-Grown Anti-Missile Shield For New Delhi By 2014? Sheer Unabashed Jingoistic Kite-Flying By DRDO, Period says that PDV will have an Isreali origin IIR seeker . But Dr VK has said it will use a combination of RF seekers and IIR seekers for better accuracy ? Can it be true ? From where will RF , IIR comb seeker be imported ?<br /><br />Will PDV have a kill vehicle like American LEAP ?<br />As PDV will intercept the hostile missile at an altiude of 150-200 km will it be a mid-phase BMD system as oppsoed to PAD , THAAD terminal phase interception ?<br /><br />Russia already has a operational BMD system , S-300V . Why cant tech found in their interceptors , radars be used in Indian BMD radars , interceptors ? Is it because we use more high tecg radars , interceptors than them ?<br /><br />Whats the significance of two endo-atmospheric interceptors D-1,2 . AAD can intercept at 50 km altitudes .<br />Will any of AD-1,2 be as small , potable,compcat as PAC-3 ?<br /><br />Pls have patience and reply them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3545138702780178046.post-89146610792505089432012-12-03T13:08:53.245+05:302012-12-03T13:08:53.245+05:30Sir, Why isnt Heckler Koch , FN Herstal participat...Sir, Why isnt Heckler Koch , FN Herstal participating in carbine competition ?
