    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    When I say track I don't mean the exact location but rather a locale where the sub is present. How would we order a nuclear strike from SSBNs if we cant talk to them ? ELF signals released from the sea-surface aren't the only way of communicating with bases. Secure comms can be established from...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    The number of subs we have is ridiculously low & we operate them mostly in a limited area. Thus identifying and tracking friendly subs is a lot easier. The Navy maintains 2 ship/sub data centres to actively track all ships/subs in our operating domains(Indian Ocean, Bay of Bengal, Arabian sea...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    Remember the recent Shaurya missile test ? There was no photos or videos from that test. But we were told the new version of the missile is "lighter & sleeker" while maintaining the performance of the old version. The old version had tech from 2010s and was bigger than the Brahmos.

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    @Nilgiri @Paro @#comcom et al..... This one weapon has significant implications for the whole region for a simple reason. Range. The missile has a max range of 650 km !!

    Indonesian Sealift Capabilities

    Excellent write up @#comcom. Very educational. The Indian Navy doesn't focus a lot on amphibious warfare, thus that dept. is very under-developed in India. I didn't even know there were so many types of amphibious ships out there. There has been some focus recently on the Andaman Islands, maybe...

    India UAV Programs

    @Nilgiri @Paro @#comcom et al... ADA Ghatak UCAV is a under-development stealth combat drone. "Ghatak" in Hindi means Lethal. The design phase of the project has almost ended. A full scale metal version of the drone is being made for RCS measurements and optimisations. A smaller version would...
