#RulingTheSkies : IAF successfully fired the #BrahMos air version missile from its frontline Su-30 MKI fighter aircraft today. The launch from the aircraft was smooth & the missile followed the desired trajectory before directly hitting the land target.

BrahMos provides IAF the capability to strike from large stand-off ranges on any target at sea or on land with pinpoint accuracy by day or night in any weather condition. Brahmos coupled with the superlative performance of Su-30MKI gives IAF the desired strategic reach.

The Naval LCA continues to undergo the testing. Seen here is the NP-1 during one of the wave-off approach. The test pilots have to master that to achieve the desired sink rate to land on a deck. The task requires at least couple of hundreds of these approaches before the test pilots get and idea on how to achieve that.

While the Air force Version of Tejas has been the talk of town, the naval version continues with the flight test schedule leading to the ultimate goal. The common question has been on the date when is she going to land on deck. The effort required by the flight test crew even to attempt that is monumental, leave alone the development of the aircraft with the required technologies for that. The foremost thing one should keep in mind while being judgmental about the program is the difference between the two versions in terms of operation, operating envelope and the availability of required technology.
Jai Hind.
