ts because the ship is rolling. See the structure behind the missile. Ship is rolling to right as you see the picture but in reality it is rolling to the left.View attachment 27888
The article kind of looks bent ? The top part is sort of slightly not in line?
hmm hmm ah ok that makes sense, thank you. Kinda scary though for test firing.
No its not as the missile is so designed that it auto corrects itself after being fired in heavy rolling and pitching conditions. Thats why you just cant go and put any missile system onboard a warship. It has to be tuned to overcome the rolling and pitching conditions at sea on board a warship.
So as we expected, LRSAM Kusha is going to be either MRSAM or Akash-NG with a booster motor
Range? 150-175kms, me thinks.
Do we know the exact weight of Akash-NG? Some estimated it to be around 350kgs. Barak-8/MRSAM is 275kgs. Let's see what our LRSAM turns out to be. More chances are of it being MRSAM + Booster. But, I will be pleasantly surprised(and more happy) if it turns out to be Akash-NG with booster.Akash is too heavymaybe its slimmer now.
That's just regular reach i think, possibly released sometimes ago. It is referred as LRSAM (IAC) .
Now, I am painting a very faint picture in my mind.
Well their nomenclature is very confusing. It is possible just proto units & 1 is chosen. They probably also denote M1A & M1B sections as airframe and booster. At present tenders are based on this M1. Booster seems to be 350mm dia so lets see where it goes. two user services have their own demand as well. Which is why BDL is lead integrator for one service IAF related work, BEL is for another, probably the navy.
