    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...

    India Missiles and Guided Munitions

    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.

    Featured Historical contract for the acquisition of 80 Rafale F4 by the United Arab Emirates

    The second batch of Rafales for IAF (perhaps 36 more) are likely to happen regardless of any other deal. We don't know which version they could be (more of the same F3R, F4.1 or perhaps F4.2, with all ISEs obviously which seem lacking on other export Rafales). But the price will come down...

    Featured Historical contract for the acquisition of 80 Rafale F4 by the United Arab Emirates
