    Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) - Heavy Weight Torpedoes

    Some physics talk on this page @Yasar @VCheng @Gautam (and other science/engg guys I forgot to tag, sorry)....might be interested to read. #51 onwards..

    Yup that was first mission: mangalyaan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Orbiter_Mission The 2nd mars mission is underway and planned for 2025 currently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Orbiter_Mission_2 If the moon lander mission (chandrayaan-2) succeeded, this one was expected to have...

    India Helicopter Programs

    Hopefully further integration in the core C4I makes such things nominal compared to before. In this regard, everyone focused on new CDS position too much over what it represents in the actual infra objective behind scenes. I agree with your approach 100% (in the legacy and ongoing relative...

    Near apex of a hike I took with some friends...around late October around Ottawa Area (on Quebec side). In background is the Ottawa river. This is roughly about a 350 metre height. We saw a mustang in the area too:

    Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) - Heavy Weight Torpedoes

    Yep...we were talking about electrical stuff and transformers in another thread (the meme one)... When you said eddy current, I remembered way back to my physics prof in high school, drawing little loop arrows in transformer "core" hehe. Part of the course how to mitigate their effect IIRC...

    Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) - Heavy Weight Torpedoes

    Yes the intrinsic benefits of composite hulls (and improving their manufacturing process) is explained here fairly well. I was more wondering about the specific countermeasures on board (when the ship is of size like Visby class) to counter its own unavoidable magnetic signature (from the...

    Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) - Heavy Weight Torpedoes

    I think this is the only dedicated torpedo thread in the forum, so I might as well post this here...and for greater reach to members interested in subject.... Got talking lately about MSP (magnetic self protection) with an old (USN) bud (long retired). When he served (in thick of cold war)...

    India India-Russia Relations

    Interoperability in C4I domain is something India is in early phases of and evolving still. It is easier said than done to say "robust network is important". India will need to evolve a robust multi-tiered architecture itself....it is question of strategic funding and commitment, if you look...

    It is up to the client as to how the networking is done (especially in protecting the system itself i.e anti-SEAD). There is benefit to double layering, if the response time of system A is preserved by keeping things preserved in the architecture for itself....rather than trying to get system B...

    You went to RIAT? Thats awesome ! How frequently do you go (to RIAT) out of interest? It is planned to finally restart in 2022 I believe, you plan on going?

    US is working on a waiver (in its legislature) for India currently (whole thread might be useful read): https://defencehub.live/threads/u-s-senators-introduce-amendment-supporting-caatsa-sanctions-waiver-for-india.10558/#post-136462 The Sanction risk persists till that is completed. If the...

    It is able to track a large number of targets very well at many distances. It is very modular and well networked (making it resilient to SEAD) Very fast deployment/reaction time. Mobile launchers with up to 400 km range missiles = potency against AWACS, ISTAR, ELINT and refuellers of the...
