    Hmm...two tests in a short timespan for a tech demo platform. Something's up. Development of next-gen MaRV (potentially ASBM-capable) seems to be fast-tracked.

    Scramjet. Ramjets were already produced & in use on many platforms like Akash SAM and BrahMos. New generation Ramjets are in development in programs like SFDR (solid-fuel ducted ramjet) for applications on lighter, smaller missiles like BVRAAMs. These are currently in testing: Scramjets are...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    Army & other MoD users already have tens of thousands of Tatras lying around. Sure aren't going to throw them away when we paid hard money for them & they still have lot of service life left. There is no specific preference for Tatra or Indian trucks. Mostly its dependent on the unit. Most of...

    Or, they could just launch multiple missiles. I believe they'll launch minimum 2 for each contact to maximize chances. On a submarine or aircraft the space is very limited so can't carry many torpedos, but for land launch that isn't a problem. Data-link obviously. All sensors & shooters will...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    If it were a tank it would have hit the tracks. That said, two things: 1) the missile has either IR or MMW seeker, a canvas target really doesn't have much signature in either spectrum...assuming the seeker was even live in the test. Could have been a ballistic non guided (BNG) mode to...

    SANT anti-tank missile was tested again today. Capable of standoff ranges (reports ranging from 10-20km). If they manage to integrate this with the Longbow radar on the IAF & Army AH-64Es, it could be a real deadly combination.
