Indian Missiles & Nuclear Development News and Discussions

[zoolander]

mach 8? lol u got to be kidding me.

Turbojets can not go that fast.

I am sorry to imform you on this

if u use liquid fuel that will run out fast

turbojets just by the physical nature cannot go that fast


ONLY SCRAMJETS CAN ACHIEVE THAT SPEED. I BELIEVE IT IS A UNITED STATES ONLY TECHNOLOGY. INDIA'S TURBOJET TECHNOLOGY IS VERY WEAK, I DONT THINK THEY HAVE SCRAM JET TECHNOLOGY. IT IS LIKE KNOWING HOW TO RUN BUT NOT WALK.

I REPEAT AGAIN ONLY SCRAMJETS COULD GO THAT FAST.

AT MACH 8 IT IS THE FASTEST MISSILE OR OBJECT HUMANS EVER MADE

 

[globaltracker]

except that it is rumoured to have a speed of mach 8.

so i believe that it will have the indigenously developed scramjet engine which was successfully tested recently to mach8, this is a drdo project.

however i believe that this improvement would be in a phased manner.
there was an interesting article of the brahmos missile's guidance system ,i will try to find and post it.

the fist production model brahmos missile section has been supplied by the private indian company godrej(one of the subcontractors).




I think that's what he said.

 

[zoolander]

lol u guys make me laugh.

Just a couple of months ago, the United States tested their first scramjet.
I repeat VERY FIRST. I believe the USA is the first country to field and successfully test this type of weapon. In fact I am positive they are the very first to field this technology.

India has trouble developing their own turbofans, how do you expect them to develop scramjets.

The Brahmos is a turbojet designed missile. How do you expect to do, redesign the own thing? Oh wait, I forgot the Indians dont have the ability to, they have to pay the Russians. :laugh

 

[Red aRRow]

Ok now cool it people. And please stop making up facts about scramjet missiles without any supporting evidence.

 

[zoolander]

indian missile industry is still in development. They have great tracking and targeting system but their propulsion systems they make are a joke. they lack experience in making turbofans. A example is the diaster called the Kavari engine.

They need foreign assistance to gain experience. Give 10 years and u have a capable missile techonology

 

[dabrownguy]

Actually they tested a land scramjet model at a speed of MACH 4-5 I think. It was in the news a while back. So its not all crap. Its a myth based on a legend based on the news. Old news.

 

[zoolander]

oh really. please state your source. please dont state newsmax.com cause tat site is a joke. they mix fact and fiction.

No, in actual fact the first successful scramjet test was done in australia a few years ago by QIT.

The US has now partnered up with QIT for further tests as well as conducting their own.

While we're at it - can everyone settle down.

Otherwise this post will get locked for a few days.​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] BANGALORE: India has joined a handful of countries with the technology to build a new type of supersonic rocket that could reduce satellite-launching costs by nearly 90 percent, the Indian space agency said.



The Supersonic Combustion Ramjet or Scramjet technology should eventually help India build lighter and faster rockets, the Indian Space Research Organization said.

Earlier this week Indian scientists tested a prototype Scramjet engine for seven seconds, simulating travel at six times the speed of sound, S. Krishnamurthy, spokesman, ISRO said.
Conventional rockets carry their own oxygen to burn as fuel, but Scramjet rockets will take oxygen from the atmosphere, making them lighter and faster.

"We need this new technology to do that (take in air) at a velocity of Mach six," Krishnamurthy said, adding that Indian scientists hope Scramjets will eventually be able to reach speeds as high as 24 times the speed of sound.

The U.S. has already carried out a flight test with a Scramjet engine, while the Europe Union, Japan, China, Russia and Australia are in various stages of testing their technologies.
Indian scientists hope that Scramjets could bring the cost of launching satellites from the current level of $12,000 or more for 2.2 pounds of payload to less than $1,000.

"We have now proven our technology on the ground and hope to do flight-test within two years, though mastering the technology might take up to 10 years from now," he added.[/FONT]

A persons word should be good enough he he has a modest reputation. And please try to remember you dont moderate the world.

 

[gf0012-aust]

And please try to remember you dont moderate the world.

If you're referring to the web or any of the moderators on this forum - then in actual fact, in this part of the internet world, we do moderate it completely. Thats why we set out clear rules of behaviour and participation.

It's a private forum. Webs rules.

 

[webmaster]

Thanks Gary.

We never said or claim we moderate the world. I could care less who moderates the world... what we do care about is how this forum is moderated.
Rules are very simple:

We demand respect for all from everybody, please.

I don't know where this "you don't moderate the world" came from but let's just get back to the topic. Of course, we wouldn't want Indian Missile and Dev thread closed down for few weeks and then I have to live with accusations that this site hates Indians.

 

[dabrownguy]

Actually that comment was meant for zoolander. It seems hes everywhere.

 

[zoolander]

my bad, there are some ultranationalist in this forum so u have to understnad i cant trust some random persons word.

expecially when some of the people here are telling me india is developing a scramjet version of the Bahmos. Anyway tat still will never happen because the Bahmos is a sea skimming missile and the Scramjets only work in super high altatudes. Either way it wont happen.

You know the future is going to be projectiles. Its going to be like the retro sneakers coming back. Cannons are coming back cept in a rail driver form.

and i am not moderating i am tellin my opinion and in some instances the truth.

 

[gf0012-aust]

Now that the air has been cleared up lets get back to the subject.

any non topic comments or divergent responses will be edited and/or deleted.

 

[zoolander]

I heard the Patriot system is the best in the world. Second to maybe the S-400. In some wars they didnt shot down aircraft and missile because they were shut off or limited due to the fact that they are so many allly aircrafts. I heard they did great in tests. India dont have sanctions, why are they settling for S-300s

 

[XEROX]

Any chance India would be able to mate the THAAD missile system to lets say the AKASH low altitude area defence system.



Personally Zoolander i think India wants to have the Arrow-2 over any other such system.

 

[zoolander]

This is just a general question. Is there such a thing as a interconinental CRUISE missile? Does it exist and what country fields it. Intercontiental means like a 9,000km + range.

Intercontinental is not 9000km+

Intercontinental is literally between continents:

eg Nth America to China, Sth America to Africa, Nth America to Europe. Russia to the US, Sth America to Australia.

ie continents are defined by being discrete continental land masses within and separated by a body of water.

Intercontinental in the delivery sense can actually be less than 2500km. It's defined by the capacity of the weapons owner to hit a target on another continent, ie separated by a blue water ocean

 

[zoolander]

i consider any thing below 9000km to be a intermediate range missile if there any cruise missile with a range of 9000+km
