Good to see they upgraded their website also.. Poor air force is still having the early 90's looking website.. not even going into operational equipment.

IAI has already developed a version called Barack-8ER which does not have any Indian components. <br />The principal user of Barack will be the Indian navy.

It is more than 40 years since the Navy saw full action, it is the Brahmos and the new LR SAM which will define this paradigm shift.

It doesn't make sense that a country that can launch rockets to Mars needs to import rocket technology from a country that can't launch anything.Raahul Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144388090492230247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-73266741230923576122015-12-02T03:48:06.081-08:002015-12-02T03:48:06.081-08:00I'm not seeing the need for the MR-SAM as a la...I'm not seeing the need for the MR-SAM as a landbased system. With the DRDO's Akash and BMD program which has long range capabilities, the need for this type of system just doesn't exist. Unfortunately, the DRDO failed with its naval sam effort so it will be needed for the Navy, but why bother with a version for the IAF?Raahul Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144388090492230247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-40576993208621230622015-12-01T21:05:44.051-08:002015-12-01T21:05:44.051-08:00A much needed addition to our navy.
