@Nilgiri seen this ?

COVID restrictions have lifted and work has resumed. I am suddenly swamped with work, that's why I haven't been posting much recently. Not optical but a high resolution X-band Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) with monopulse homing capability. Pics of the seeker: Go where ? None of our SSKs...

Look at the difference in caliber. The Vitorez fires a 9X39 mm round & the Dragunov fires a 7.62X54 mm round. With a caliber that size you can probably keep the first 1 or 2 shots on target at full auto, the rest of the shots will be off. Especially at long ranges. Most DMR usage we see is...

Automatic as in full auto ? That's sounds like fun, not sure how accurate that would be though. This is the early version of the Dragunov upgrade. Forgot I had this pic. I like this one more. It looks cleaner than the current version. The sight is probably an ELCAN Specter. They source their...

Oh yeah, right.

What did I do ? Bro do you know about the Ramjet powered artillery round under development ? I am writing an article on that, will share when I am done.

Turbojet not turbofan. It was a NPO Saturn 36MT. The new engine is a bit more powerful and its a turbofan. The Guidance & Navigation Control (GNC) had to adjust to the new engine. This added with the fact that we were going to try out the sea-skimming feature meant increased work load on the...

Oh man ! Well at least the new engine flew for 8 mins. We will know more soon.

That's right. The Sigs have started making it to the frontlines : The gun is likely going to have a BEL or EO Tech red dot sight that we already use : I would personally like to see the ADTL scope on the Sigs. That would really help us exploit the long range capability of the gun better :

@#comcom A Shivalik class frigate in Jakarta, Indonesia. The pic is apparently from Sep 26. Wasn't this during the naval stand off between Indonesia & China ? I don't recall any news of this deployment being put out by Indian media. Did the Indonesian media report about any Indian navy ship...

We've made some steps in small arms developments. We are still in early phases. But the developments so far has been encouraging. That company has big plans & quite a few guns developed/under-development besides the Dragunov/AK upgrades: They have 2 bolt action snipers under-development. The...

I was wrong. It didn't take a few years. In fact it took slightly more than a year. Seems DRDO knew exactly what's wrong with the airframe. These are old photos/videos. Pics from today's test aren't out yet, so we don't know what changes have been made. I'll post them when they are released ...

Pics from today's test : The missile was tracked from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) off coast of Balasore, Odisha. The target was a sea based one. Possibly an unmanned surface vessel with a radiation source.

Followed you on twitter. I don't have FB.

This the forum's twitter account ?

NGARM/Rudram was tested today : It has a bundled seeker system. Essentially 2 seekers in one. Both work in different frequencies bands, thus allowing the users to target a wider variety of enemy radar systems. Pics of seekers and electronics : Cut-away of the missile. The range is...
