For Tejas MK2 (MWF), Artist Kuntal Biswas made CAD with dual-rack launcher giving 14 AAMs capability. After dual racks side by side, perhaps we can try quad rack.

News channels & elsewhere people are talking abot MRFA & only 2 final candidates - Su-57 Vs F-35. While F-35 would be the most tempting honey trap so far, the Su-57 is under fire too not seen as proper full 5gen stealth. There are many things which can be learnt from current 5gen jets. Some of...

A small collage of Astr-3 SFDR CADs, static model pics, diagrams.

Fitting Ramjet missiles is a challenge bcoz of their long intakes, it becomes difficult to stagger them. There is an early render by artist Kuntal Biswas of 2 Astr-3 SFDR /bay, total 4 AAMs, but pic is angled, the bay is short with big gap in between. He has also made multiple CADs of Astr-3...

In persuit of improvements, there might be some good news. 🥳🤟🥁🎯🎊🎉 The unofficial tweet might be true. I lately got an infographic showing AMCA's IWB dimensions to be 4.2m long, 2.2m wide, 0.75m height. The dimension is not mentioned in many other posters. The Astr-1,2,3 AAMs have same length...

There is a perpendicular bottom view CAD available for Astr-1 in IWB of AMCA And there is one for Meteor or Astr-3 SFDR but angled, not clear. If someone has a perpendicular bottom view for Astr-2 or Meteor/Astr-3 SFDR then kindly share, Thanks.

A preliminary look into engine requirement of AHCA concept: The JV can be a great opportunity only if we develop 2 engines - 1 regular turbofan for medium jets & 1 VCE for next gen heavy class jet bcoz EU is also developing it. Among IWB jets, F-22 has highest capacity of 8 AAMs of around 1.1...

If AMCA's IWB can be widened & Astr-2 AAMs staggered then similar to F-22, 6 Astr-2 AAMs can fit. In A-G only mode, it may allow total 16 SAAW bombs.

There is an unofficial tweet that AMCA will have 6 AAMs in IWB He mentioned IDAX24 & ex-tarangshakti-2024. Do we have any official link confirming 6 AAMs in IWB? Some static models, CAD, infographic showcase Astr-Mk1 AAM with large fins. Clearly this version is not fit for IWB. With a...

It is very difficult to decipher some elements in the demo cockpit display. Those who play DCS, MSFS & other simulators might be able to guess better. Top row: > AP - Auto Pilot > AHLD - Altitude Hold? > ASEL - Altitude Select? > FD - Flight Director? > L | G ? > AT - Auto Thrust...

Ok, thanks for a better pic. But like i said the static models & diagrams also appear to be official, so it is possible that this test was carried during design transition. Our aim should be to progress towards beter designs in any way.

Picture quality poor. It will be confirmed in near future. The static models & diagrams also seem to be official. So it is posible they changed the fin design thereafter. The AIM-120, Derby, Meteor, etc AAMs have shown effectiveness with short fins. Meteor & our Astr-3 SFDR have only the aft fins.

The focus is not the diagram. My question was/is if someone has real pic of Astr-2. I can't say anything on ideal efficient design of a missile but after internet search i'm convinced that Astr-2 will have shorter fins & Astr-3 will be SFDR. We also need a missile which can fit in more numbers...

"MARK II" is printed on it. But these all are CAD or static models.

They look like Mk1 by fin design & position, which doesn't match with Mk2 in diagram.

Any pic of the real Astr MK2 yet?

SENSOR FUSION It came with 5gen jets helping pilot to focus on 1 picture of battle space, coming from multiple sensors as part of the jet or from wingman, other friendly jets, AWACS, satellite, ground asset, etc. RWR was a standard among 4gen jets, but with analog wide sector indicators. I...

I don't have an official refined infographic or static model yet. Possible locations & coverage sectors for DAS/MAWS:

I got your point but although China's population density in Tibet is low but it has enough military deployment against us & is increasing year by year. It is ahead of us in everything. It is preparing for multi-front war. Our forces are also among biggest in world, they are divided in regional...

I'm not giving full time to military analysis but AFAIK neither Bharat has mil. advantage over China nor BD over Bharat. There is no point in comparing BD, Srilanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Burma, etc state sized nation with Bharat bcoz their situation is not like S.Korea, France, Israel, etc.
