In time before they become obsolete.
That should lay all the rumors of it being deployed to rest.
And that GNC kit is supplied by RCI . It happened before also.
There has been multiple reasons behind its failure. Lets say, this missile is our albatross. For the time being atleast.
Why our slbm looks Marasmic in comparison to say Russia or Chyna.
NoKo’s slbm for reference @hellbent
Vs
This is JL-1 vs JL-2
It should give you an idea why our missiles look so stunted. Basically, we are now having a missile deloyed which China had in late 80s to early 90s. Though our subs are a bit better than their Xia class subs.
All reasons are wrong. Our missiles are designed as per what has been laid down by Prof. Bobeye.
But professor Bobeye never visited India. I’ve seen his biography on cartoon channel
Because it is not a an slbm. It's more like a cruise missile though it's ballistic in trajectory. I hope we convert arihant into a ssgn will be much bigger capability upgrade compared to useless ssbn's..
Look up the TL of the Brahmos & how long did it take us to develop various components of it viz seeker, booster & propulsion systems. FYI - we've still not developed the ramjet engine & it's about 18 years since we've inducted the 1st Brahmos. That should give you a fair idea.
You could refer to the Nirbhay too. We began preliminary work on it in 2010 & we've just about developed the Manik turbofan which isn't a mature time tested product by any yardstick.
There is a natural progression to capabilities , Rome was not built in a day
Especially if you're doing it on your own.
You do realise brahmos is a JV and hence prone to shenanigans of the other partner.
The vijander guys is a Russian fanboy and ironically he is ex military
I am wondering how the heck did he mange to compare indian seekers , data links with foreign ones without access to the Indian sub systems vis a vis corresponding foreign products.
I remember regularly reading his posts a long time back. Then I gave up as I saw increasing inconsistencies.
When the first test of the Nirbhay failed, he claimed India doesn't have any capabilities etc etc. Second test succeeded, he claimed the Russians helped us. 3rd test failed again, he started with the routine of DRDO can't do anything. So the saga continues. I have seen this pattern before.
His reporting of the Astra missiles development is no better. Same story. When news came of the development of a Ku band radar, he claimed DRDO can't do it as they have no prior experience. The rest is history.
How many days has it been since we tested the HSTDV or the SMART ? Both path breaking in their own right. Those missiles are 80s tech ? I used to admire his & Ajay Shukla's reporting. I also used to believe all ex-military guys must be undoubtedly great experts & will never have any ulterior motives. Then a gentleman by the name Panag came along. I rest my case.
Draw your conclusions mate, I have drawn mine.
Wasn't the reason why the then GoI proposed the JV with Russia due to our inexperience with such systems & to get a peek at it by our agencies.
Regardless, there's nothing to prevent us from developing our own series of supersonic & hypersonic missiles which we've got down to recently.
Yet it's taken us a full 2 decades & we've still not come up with our own ramjet. We'd get there not just with the ramjet but the scramjet too. There's only the minor issue of decades taken to do it.
He actually has never hidden it. There are numerous videos on YT where he is talking about sponsored trip to Russia for coverage of weapon launch. He is part of the lobby group.
Only fanboys take his adverts as gospel truth.
@Gautaum he is getting paid for all this propaganda. No one sponsors holiday tours in lavish Moscow hotel for nothing
