Whyem15: Just for sake of discussion I have some doubts regarding the above portion in that some probability of damage might exist post 4-5 interception but not high enough in probability to render APS inoperable majority of times, competent end users/designers will (should) frame op requirements pre and post system development factoring probable kinematic damage from dispersion etc post interception & include mitigation measures either during interception or post interception or both There are lot of studies done including real ones and stimulations when it comes to kinematics of projectiles etc if it involves any system APS is a very expensive system , nobody is rich or foolish enough to induct a system which supposedly will lasts 4-5 interception , ironically that too after successful interceptions Just my POV , you could be right too Anyways DRDO also started working on it's APS system Sensors reportedly both radar and IIR based Pic of launcher module test bench & kinetic effectors from a tender 6 Likes

Nemesis4you: İ agree. I think the probability of APS damage from tandem shaped charges and dispersed warhead splinters are low for just the reasons you said. Rigorous mathematical and computer simulations to determine optimum location on the vehicle body. The APS sensors themselves are numerous cameras with that many numbers given that much level of redundancy 1 Like |

RiceProducers:As long as they buy at fair price and they are always ready to buy at any given time of the year (given that some farmers use irrigation so their produce isn't seasonal) But I think a more sustainable solution would be to make it compulsory by law that no farmer can sell produce directly, You must be in a farmers cooperative ltd which would be a holding company for farmers within and administrative region. This company will then keep formal records of what each farmer brings and once sold, the payment would be made directly to banks so taxing would be very easy... In Kenya, This already happens with Coffee and Tea farmers, So it's just a matter of borrowing a leaf from such smallholder holding companies. These companies are owned by the farmers themselves so they set they control the company. https://ktdateas.com/about-us/ https://ktdateas.com/farmers-paymet/ 1 Like |

jakeporeshenko: Yep. Exactly what's supposed to happen to a prototype when stress-tested for 4years/25 000km. There's a reason the Turkish claims have only appeared in a dodgy site and a few Turkish fangirl blogs: respectable defence publications know this game. 4 Likes |

shadowprimezero:Take the hits? You seem to think I'm here to defend the Mbombe. All I'm saying is this is normal for a prototype, and all the nonsense about "Barys failure" is Turkish fangirls butt-hurt that the Kazakhs bought a few Arma to simply benchmark and improve own product. In SA defence industry, this phase is called Bush Break, where a prototype vehicle is literally taken into the bush to break as much as the drivers can. It's the last phase of testing to incorporate whatever feedback before the final production-ready model. There's a reason these vehicles move from concept, to design, to prototype, to pre-production to production model. 6 Likes |

University of KwaZulu Natal successfully tests liquid rocket engine The University of KwaZulu-Natal’s (UKZN’s) Aerospace Systems Research Group (ASReG) has successfully tested a liquid propellant rocket engine as the first step towards developing a launch vehicle for placing satellites into Earth orbit. The Ablative Blow-down Liquid Engine (ABLE) was designed by mechanical engineering students in the master’s and doctoral programmes at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. ASReG’s Space Propulsion Programme is supported by the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI), which is fully funding the sounding rocket development research and the liquid propulsion initiative, as well as the students that are involved. The successful ABLE test campaign took place at the Denel Overberg Test Range in the Western Cape over a three-week period. Ten mechanical engineering students put the SAFFIRE ABLE rocket engine through its paces on a test stand to measure its performance. The ABLE combusts liquid oxygen (LOX) and jet A-1 fuel to produce just under two tons of thrust, and is similar in design to engines powering the newest small satellite launch vehicles. For the test campaign, students not only built the engine itself, but designed and qualified a state-of-the-art test facility with propellant storage tanks, an automated engine control system, and a thrust stand to restrain the engine throughout its operation. During testing, the ABLE produced 18 kilonewtons (about 1.8 tons) of thrust in a series of short and long-duration burns. Although there are bigger commercial engines in operation, ABLE is one of the most powerful student-built liquid rocket engines ever produced, the UKZN said. “With this development, UKZN has further strengthened its position as a South African centre of excellence in aerospace propulsion engineering. In March this year, ASReG broke the African hybrid rocket altitude record when it successfully launched a Phoenix rocket to 18 km. ABLE is a different kind of engine, running on liquid propellants rather than the solid and liquid combination of the Phoenix rocket,” the UKZN said. https://www.defenceweb.co.za/aerospace/aerospace-aerospace/ukzn-fires-up-rocket-engine-aimed-at-satellite-launch-vehicles/ 12 Likes

giles14:The Mbombe is a family of 3 vehicles: --Mbombe 4 ( sold to the UAE and India - where it'll be manufactured as the Kalyan M4); --Mbombe 6 ( sold to Jordan and Khazakstan - where it'll be manufactured as the Barys 6); and --Mbombe 8 ( still in prototype stage of development in Khazakstan - where, if production goes ahead, it'll be known as the Barys 8. It's this version we've been "discussing" It's the Mbombe 4 which performed well in UAE and landed an order. 6 Likes
