And why should that even be a qualifying criteria for commenting here? Regarding your vague recalls of IAI CEO's comments, what did you except him to say that they are clueless? He is aiming to sell the products of his company for God's sake and has every right to upsell and glorify his work.<br />BUT to call a weapon that has yet to enter service a "world beater" is not reasonable by any stretch of imagination. <br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-43879016874597511432014-05-04T08:25:27.852-07:002014-05-04T08:25:27.852-07:00Surprised so many have not heard of the Kashmir an...Surprised so many have not heard of the Kashmir anti-missile missile, which equips an entire class of Indian Navy ships --- the Delhi-class destroyers.<br /><br />The Kashmir SAM with which the Delhi class are equipped is the export version of the Uragan (SA-N-7 'Gadfly').<br /><br />Read more about it at: http://www.military-today.com/navy/delhi_class.htmBroadswordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13076780076240598482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-26218948892949609862014-05-03T05:13:07.970-07:002014-05-03T05:13:07.970-07:00Col Shukla, Your articles are always informative. ...Col Shukla, Your articles are always informative.

" <br /><br />I recall some years ago IAI CEO / Chief commenting on this project: " We are developing some of world's most cutting edge technologies" and another comment from an Israeli source about two years ago regarding the Dual Pulse motor developed by DRDO for this project as "absolutely world class". <br /><br />However, some ,who have done nothing / developed nothing (I did a few small things many years ago and so did some of my close friends)will always be sarcastic I guess.

Life cycle cost could have been much less, as they use to carry less fuel (weight/weight). So speed could have been much higher. <br />Secondly considering Ukraine's present political situation we must order (in advance) as mush spares as possible. Particularly consumables, bearings, turbine blades and gas casing.
