1.40N6M (supersonic speed) (?) 2.77N6-N (hypersonic speed) (HIT TO KILL interceptors) 3.77N6-N1 (hypersonic speed) (HIT TO KILL interceptors)
the 77N6-N and the 77N6-N1 hypersonic missiles will be equipped with on-board nose-mounted, Ka-band millimeter-wave active phased-array radar seekers and their real-time discrimination algorithms required for fire-control and guidance of hit-to-kill interceptors.
from here onwards plz take everything with a pinch of salt and dont blame me i warned u. it might happen or might not happen depending on the present and future negotiations which r a continuous process...... it is based on feelers and not confirmed
the Israelis and the Russians have proposed a hybrid S-400 system aka S-450MKI . it is hybrid because
1.integration of Israeli long range radars. a. ULTRA family Radar (C-6 and C-22)
ULTRA family of AESA UHF radars is made by IAI and represents a formidable capability of Early Warning and long range search and tracking of low observable Air Breathing Targets (ABTs), and ballistic missiles. The radars offer an advantage of low RCS targets detection at long ranges, operation under all weather conditions, and in the presence of dense electromagnetic environments.
The ULTRA radars use a modular, common UHF-band cluster architecture capable of wide angle electronic scan in both elevation and azimuth. The basic cluster can be modularly scaled to 6 and up to a 22 cluster configuration which offers extended detection ranges and tracking accuracies. Other cluster configurations are possible to meet specific customer's requirements.
The ULTRA-C1 (single cluster configuration) is a lightweight mobile system designed to provide an autonomous search and detection capability up to 500km for a typical fighter aircraft. The ULTRA-C6 (six clusters configuration) is designed for an Early Warning and long range of satellites, ballistic missiles and airborne targets at long ranges, while the ULTRA C-22 (22 clusters configuration) is a strategic system for ballistic missiles and space objects detection and tracking at very long ranges.
The ULTRA radars can be used as autonomous search radar, supporting all defence layers: Air Defence Surveillance for medium range, Early Warning system for long ranges, and a strategic system for very long ranges.
though i believe India might go for the TERRA dual band radar System which comprises the ULTRA UHF band radar and the new AESA ELM-2090S SPECTRA S-band radar.
The TERRA comprises of the ULTRA UHF band radar (ELM-2090U) and the new ELM-2090S SPECTRA S-band very-long-range search and track radar. TERRA's enhanced performance is achieved through automatic handover and redundancy between the ULTRA and SPECTRA radars, combined with improved target load sharing, Electronic Counter-Counter Measures (ECCM) and severe-weather resilience.
it is designed for early-warning, detection and accurate tracking of very long range targets such as ballistic missiles, satellites and air-breathing targets.
The new SPECTRA Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar which can also perform as a standalone system, is a transportable ground-based or shipborne radar system designed to autonomously detect and simultaneously track multiple tactical ballistic missiles. The SPECTRA provides high-accuracy target tracking, and real-time launch point and impact point estimations. The high-power GaN AESA technology implemented in the radar includes thousands of transmit/receive modules that provide high efficiency, reliability and graceful degradation.
2.addition of the 77N6-N and 77N6-N1 hypersonic missiles from the S-500 to the Indian version of the S-400 together with the necessary elements required to support the said missiles.
3.integration with existing and future SAMs Barak-8, Akash-mk1, Barak-8 ER, Akash-mk2, Spyder, QR-SAM, Maitri SR-SAM, PAD and AAD (2000 km class targets), AD-1 and AD-2 (5000 km class targets), a unnamed 250km range SAM ( in R & D phase ) etc. together with Swordfish long range radar tracking radar, THALES-built Master-A fire control radar and citron tree BM/C3I systems from Israeli TADIRAN electronic systems Ltd. (same is used in Arrow ABM )
etc
Swordfish is an acknowledged derivative of the Israeli Green Pine long range radar, which is the critical component of that country's Arrow missile defense system. However, it differs from the Israeli system as it employs Indian Transmit Receive modules, signal processing, computers and power supplies. It is also more powerful than the base Green Pine system and was developed to meet India's specific BMD needs.The Swordfish LRTR currently has a range of 600 km -800 km range and can spot objects as small as a cricket ball (3-inches in diameter), which the DRDO is in the process of upgrading it to 1,500 km .
africaken254: if you dont want to have a civilised conversation with us savages in africa ,you can as well find another western forum which suits your more evolved pure people
You are talking about South Africa mate.
Don't bring up race into this please. But if we have such low standards with our cars then the situation up North is worse.
africaken254: what are telling us,in south africa your SUV are death traps with no air bag & ESC Systems and even no seat belt is allowed. that's your standard !?
chinese8107: air bag is standard equipted for most cars except some trucks or tractors in China.. ESC is optional, However if the customer in a paticular contry don't ask for or the law is not strictly enforced to have,it may not have,I don't know about South Africa law but some asian countries don't have such restriction.country like maymar even handmade vheicles can be allowed driven on road some WWII vheicles is stil in serves without air bag & ESC .
it's just simply a business strategy for car maker allowing customer to have options.if a customer don't drive in highway or snow or muddy road,ESC may not be a must.the same as air bag,if the customer dare to drive an assembling car he may not ask for an air bag
pic: this kind of WWII JEEP is still avilable for sale in many countries.
Henry240: The Algerian SU-30MKA is just behind. Although the MKA is still very advanced, same level as the SU-30mki, however i'll go for the Rafale.
The MKA uses French/Russian avionics, same as the Rafale(French). In the scheme of things in terms of avionics they should be quite close. Other factors would come into play. I'll say Rafale before MKA.
Patchesagain: Anyway, now we could never deploy more than a battalion without stripping helo's from other duties, and the loss of the Super Frelons has greatly reduced capabilities.
In practice the Puma could match the Super Frelons in the operational environment(Hot and High) in terms of payload. So it wasn't really a capable heavy lift helicopter for our needs at sea level it could perform.
Both the Puma and Super Frelons could only manage to carry less than 16 passengers again depending on the equipment they(passengers) are carrying. The Oryx can carry more making it better than the Super Frelon in hot and High environments.
Patchesagain: Back in the day we used to have an entire air mobile brigade (6 S.A.I, First City Regiment, Prince Alfred's Guard).
They still exist, but I think only 6 S.A.I is fully qualified with only elements of FCR and PAG being qualified.
Anyway, now we could never deploy more than a battalion without stripping helo's from other duties, and the loss of the Super Frelons has greatly reduced capabilities.
We would need 20 Oryx to move an entire battalion in two waves. That leaves only 19 for the rest of the Airforce. Even if you throw in the Augusta's it doesnt change much.
Its sad that we will never get those capabilities back... all I want is Apocalypse Now ride of the Valkyries in the African bush
jln115: Sorry Bro but i dont get what your saying?? Both Algerian and South African Meko200s are armed with Surface to surface missiles! Algerian Ships are/will be armed with RBS15s and ours with Exocet missiles.......which will possibly be replaced by the Brahmos in the next 1-2 years under project syne.
jakeporeshenko: I saw something similar. I wonder who's idea it was to introduce this new camo scheme, to me it seems really bright, like the colors are shouting.
africaken254: Off topic:yesterday saudi jets targeted a funeral inyemen capital sanaa,killing more than 200 hundred people.if this is not the time for countries to arm themselves,i dont know what most of us in africa are waiting for !the kinds of images i saw ,bodies burned mutilated bodies e.t.c if saudi can do this with america bombs,wiping out more than 200 people and never giving a f@ck .because they are untouchable.most of us rely on the UN,to offer us protection(it time we seriously rearm with latest weaponry).those days are long gone.the utter disregard of innocent civilians has reached unprecedented level
Fidha254: Kenya and Namibia also use saab's command and control, training and simulation (C2TS) ??
Saab Grintek Defence (SGD) has grown steadily to become a major player in the South African defence industry. The Swedish company’s involvement in South Africa largely came about through the country’s acquisition of the Gripen fighter in 1999, and now the company has around 700 employees at several locations, and a healthy order book. Many of those orders are for overseas customers, notably in India. Germany and Brazil are also purchasing SGD products, and the company’s sales are growing in the Middle East region. In July the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with India’s Tata Power Strategic Engineering Division as part of the “Make in India” initiative. The companies will develop technologies such as self-protection systems for land vehicles. SGD’s key product lines involve electronic warfare equipment, including integrated defensive aids suites for tactical aircraft and helicopters. SGD’s Cape Town facility also produces signals intelligence equipment for submarines. Command, control and communications systems, and sensor technology, are also important to SGD’s activities. South Africa also forms an important base from which Saab markets its entire portfolio throughout Africa. The company’s Centurion campus, close to the AAD site, includes a capability development centre, and many of the company’s solutions are available for demonstration throughout the year, including during AAD week. A focus for SGD is promoting its command and control, training and simulation (C2TS) capabilities for African customers and beyond. Already the new product area is active in Kenya and Namibia, and it is pursuing other opportunities. The company highlights its ability to collaborate closely with the customer, and its ability to innovate new technology with a rapid response to requirements. Projects can be devised, financed and completed within a year, representing a major difference from more traditional defence procurement programmes. Security is an important and growing business sector for Saab in Africa. Its SAFE (situational awareness for enhanced security) solution is a mission-critical integrated command, control and communications system that can be applied to various security environments. The system is in use with South Africa’s police force, and also with several in the UK. A related system is TactiCall, a VoIP system that integrates data and voice communications. The South African Navy is a recent customer for this system. Saab also provides support for the British Army’s training activities in Kenya. From its office in that country the company has also provided third-party maintenance support to United Nations operations in Mogadishu, Somalia. Since 2010, Saab Kenya has maintained a wide range of vehicles – both armoured and soft-skinned – and watercraft used for peacekeeping. The contract has just been extended for another two years, with activities also expanded to cover areas beyond Mogadishu. Formerly the CEO of SGD, Magnus Lewis-Olsson now heads the Europe, Middle East and Africa market area. As well as opportunities in defence, he sees a number of products that are “right for the African market”. Among them is the Maritime Security Aircraft, based on the Saab 340 regional airliner. “It’s ideal for protecting offshore oil and for countering piracy. It’s an affordable solution, and there’s a lot of life left in the aircraft – around 40 years.” The aircraft is being targeted at the oil-rich nations, and also at South Africa, which has requirements for a maritime patrol capability. Border surveillance is another area in which Saab sees opportunity for a variety of its solutions, including both hardware and command and control systems. Security opportunities are growing in countries such as Nigeria.http://www.janes.com/article/63730/a-major-player-in-africa-aad16d1
Some people are still saying SA didn't benefit from the arms deal offsets.
overhypedsteve: Hillbrow or Syria there is no excuse for abusing the civil right of anybody. But for someone who would love to be drinking cold drinks while shooting rubber bullets at unarmed civilians I won't blame u. @ Patches
I find it funny that a Nigerian is saying this.
Anyway they are not abusing civilians. The chap you are mentioning has his rifle pointed downwards on the ground.
It is a heavy self propelled howitzer but really mobile on the ground can keep up mechanized units. Great bush breaker and highly rugged.
Interestingly the SA army acquired the Soltam M-71 howitzer in the 80s as an interim solution before the G5 towed howitzer could get into service. It is the gun used on the ATMOS.
Denel offers the T5 system a truck mounted howitzer similar to the ATMOS-2000 but with longer range and probably better terminal performance with the Rheinmetall shells.
africaken254: "Land size doesn't translate to military power" tell that to the saudi!china contribution to peace keeping in south sudan,really and clearly shows they have interests in south sudan. SA just looking extra cash for its troops in DRC. Don't call yourself a giant while you can only deal with a police case in lesotho,uganda are hunting kony in CAR,Being in somalia from year 2007 and was just recently involved in south sudan.
Land size doesn't translate to military power.
The SANDF doesn't get reimbursed for deployments. The government is.
South Africa brands it's self as the gateway into Africa not as an African giant.
They are dealing with security problems in their neighbourhood. The reason Kenya went into Somalia.

africaken254: which giant that can only achieve a 0.1 % growth , where is M23 Today !,you can't even deal with ragtag mai mai and Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) with machetes(while you claim your in DRC,for your own interest).how many candidate vying for seats in SA have being assassinated this year ! a small country can invade a big country like DRC(for its own interest) ,while SA can't deal with ragtag rebels in CAR !!??
Zapped by FARDC suppoted by FIB.
South Africa is a troop contributing country to the FIB. The groups you mention didn't receive much attention as they weren't such a huge threat. Counter insurgency not semi conventional tactics are applied.
Land size doesn't translate to military power.
Last time they invaded the DRC our Namibian cousins and the Zimbos(SADC countries) dealt with them. SADC is the most peaceful region of all African regions but when rain clouds gather in SA everyone must get an umbrella in the region.
