Again you are turning the conversation in to a one sided argument that has nothing to do with the original post on which my post was written.Complete and the biggest untrue post I have ever seen from you.
2) So you are accepting the range can be extended a lot by just tinkering with payload. This is not a huge redesign.
3) I can send a man to space with a 4600kg missile. ATACMS is 1321kg and can travel to a distance of 300km. Lora weighs 1600kg and can reach 430km. Bora is as old as ….
Russian and Chinese missiles are old tech too. Bora still uses hydraulic controls for god's sake just replacing those with small torque dense electrical actuators will net huge gains. Look at what the US achieved with PrsM. PrsM weighs 1670kg has a diameter of 610mm and can reach 500km which is 900kg lighter than a Bora. I tell you what with the weight budget of Bora (2500kg) you can probably deliver a warhead around 300kg to a distance of 1000km.
Rest is not worth my time as everybody knows what you meant by incremental.
You need to understand English better! By changing different parameters of a missile, one after the other you change the range incrementally. Each small change will result in a small incremental improvement in range. Cumulatively this could be significant. When it becomes significant then it is a major redesign. No one is questioning that, because that was not the case being discussed here.
No one has said that Chinese B611 and Russian Iskander missiles are new tech. Neither are our Bora1 and Yildiri missiles.
Again we were discussing the possibility of achieving 1000km range with a Bora1. If you have anything to say about that then say it. Otherwise no need to post anymore.
If you don’t believe Iskander missile weight, just check below links.
