India tests Nag anti-tank guided missile

31

In India, the Nag anti-tank guided missile was tested in the direct attack mode and the attack of armored vehicles from above. They were conducted by the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) near Balasor, Odisha.

This was reported by the Indian newspaper Financial Express.

India has stepped up military preparations due to the tense situation on the India-China border.



And although an airborne version of the Nag ATGM (HELINA), which is now called Dhruvastra, was tested, the firing was carried out without the use of helicopters - in the so-called ground.


The next stage of testing anti-tank missiles will be firing using Indian-made Dhruv and Rudra helicopters. They are produced by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL).

ATGM Nag, which in Sanskrit means "cobra", belongs to the category of third generation anti-tank guided missiles "fire and forget." It is intended for use by both the air force and motorized rifle units, as missiles can be launched from ground or air platforms. In the ground version, NAMICA is used as a carrier, which is a modernized Soviet BMP-2. Now such installations are available in the area of ​​the border with China in the province of Ladakh.

    On the other hand, combatant HJ-10s with a range of 10 km are looking at them.

      10 km with wire control? something is not very clear.

          They write an optical cable + radar or cable + ImIR (is it an infrared head or what?).
          What does the cable to "fire and forget" have to do with it is not at all clear.
          Windows XP is recognized in the video on the screens of the operators - also not the most obvious solution for military equipment.

            It has a multichannel guidance system and can work differently at this distance.
            The HJ-10 is an analogue of the Israeli AGM-114 Hellfire complex with optoelectronic guidance, and operates on the "fire-and-forget" principle and is designed to strike at enemy vehicles and fortifications at ranges of up to several tens of kilometers. The missile is considered anti-helicopter and anti-tank.
            She needs a fiber-optic cable until a certain moment. To go out, so to speak, to a guaranteed area of ​​target destruction. Let's put it simply. It's like a Javelin with its not outstanding range to bring an optical fiber to strike. With longer operating engines, to the area where its homing will work ...

              I repeat - the solution is interesting, but the presence of a cable is no longer a "shot and forgotten". In the final section, it only goes autonomously.

              PS: I was curious - and in the Israeli Spike, after all, the same pertrushka with a cable turns out to be. Well, in general, a very interesting solution.

                Yes Yes. At maximum distances. Although the distance how to measure is 10 km? What is the final section of the flight feelMoreover, starting from the ground !!! With the help of this cable, additional reconnaissance of the target occurs.

                  In general, the thing is incredibly convenient. The cable is lightweight, noise-free, with a crazy bandwidth. The only thing is to have time in flight to "reconnoiter" this goal

                    Yes And you in the video above look closely at how the Chinese military, looking at the screen in time for the button, presses the button. Plus a signal about target acquisition. Plus thermal and visual traces of all kinds of targets, everything is in the computer. Yes, here you can print the article. laughing

                Military systems generally take into account a lot of things. They don't take into account commentators like you. Who grind all sorts of garbage. With or without reason.

                    If I offended you, then sorry. hi I didn’t want to. You know, it’s very difficult to talk about military-technical topics that are normal for a site. To be distracted by the previous question in a conversation. I apologize if I offended. Especially if the site is mixed with politics.

        They declare 10 km and in export form. 10 and 12 (which shot and forgot) have been actively promoted for export since last year. It seems that there are already interested customers.

    I immediately remembered the cartoon with the name "naked"))) But this is so, a lyrical digression ...
    Noticed that the ATGM struck an unusual blow? Not with a shock core, but by making a slide, from a dive? I think this has its pros and cons.

    Something the Indians' uk did not work out the Nag ATGM, it was already announced that the tests and purchases for the army had been completed, but then for some reason everything stalled and bought from Israel.

      This is understandable. The original is always better than a fake. There was information about the purchase of the Spike production line by the Indians from Israel. I don’t know how it ended.
