US clears sale of Integrated Air defence weapons to India with AMRAAM C8/AIM-120D missile

[Pandora]

Range signaficantly decreases in Ground Launched

Nope this is the stated range of this missile. Also it stands to reason that modifications were made so it is not the same missile as one used for air to air role.

Indians ghalat nai hain, wo becharay ghalat sayyaray pe utar gaye hain asal mein...

By means of Lingam Intergalactic Technologies, as propositioned by @Mangus Ortus Novem.

As I said sometime ago at this forum India is preferred regional power for USA and I don't see change of policy any time soon so rather to comment about any particular weapon system I would say US would strengthen war fighting capabilities of Indian forces.

US uninterested in Pakistan is more of a threat than it was earlier !!!

Sides have been formed, China for Pakistan, USA for India. Russia plays the usual business but i would prefer for them to remain neutral as they are.

In other words all Russian and Israeli stuff India got is trash.

Uncle SAM was really angry over sale of s400 so it seems like a balancing act by India. Also this is a very Donaldy Trumpy deal where he told them to by his stuff as well.

So we forget F-16s now or should we get even more excited ?

@aliyusuf @HRK @Signalian @Mangus Ortus Novem Interesting development brothers.

We won't get anything, from the US, that would be likely to surpass or even challenge India.

Unless India commits to buy F-21 or F-18, this will not be a significant development.

They might even go to that extent...

 

[Pakistani Fighter]

• Dual Mount Stinger Air Defense Systems

• Vehicle Mounted Stinger Rapid Ranger Air Defense Systems

Thats gonna increase their Troops' protection against PAA Gunships and PAF Jets

Unless India commits to buy F-21 or F-18, this will not be a significant development.

This is an effective Air Defense

And the worshipping begins. Just wait, 10 years down the line, India would be calling the AIMs as duds just like they called R-77.

On topic.
Which ground system will exactly launch AMRAAMs?

They were calling it duds last Feb.

There is a standard for stated range. The higher your altitude, the greater the range since AAMs rise to a calculated altitude before vectoring towards targets.

If that thing had a 180 km range, everyone would be after it... a jeep with 180 km. S-400 has a range of 400 km.

I don't think India will buy this for air defense needs.

India was presented with a souvenir last year, took an year for the deal to materialize.

India want to be a security guarantor of Indian Ocean Region and US need another junior partner in this region, as far as Pakistan is concern it was never an ally or partner of USA and it will never be in the future as well, the nature of relationship between US and Pakistan was always transactional so interest or no interest of US in Pakistan is not a relevant question, the relevant question is :

Could India become a security gurantontor of Indian Ocean Region without securing the South Asian region as per their National perspective .... ???

and this is the stage where the threats to our National Security emerge with greater regional dimension.

I think I have said more than enough for you to draw the conclusion.

Canister Launcher

High Mobility Launcher

 

[Goku]

This is for NASAMs and not for fighters. Probably to protect New Delhi just like US uses it for DC.......
