1: India joined select group of countries to develop and test Anti-Radiation Missile. A.K.A ARM 2: Rudram-1 boost air force’s air defense-suppression capabilities.
3: 09-10-2020 a SU-30MKI Flanker launched Rudram-1, whatever you say about rafale, SU-30 is BUFF for india.
4: previously known as the New Generation Anti-Radiation Missile (NGARM), work began in 2012.
5: Previously, India relied upon foreign-made anti-radiation missiles, primarily provided by Russia
6: intended to destroy enemy radars, air defense systems, and communication networks, denying them the ability to engage aerial targets
7: knocking down the door” in the first phase of an offensive aerial campaign
8: this means IAF thinks that PAF is a real threat and is an offensive force not a defensive force
9: Rudram-1 features a passive-homing guidance system, in which the onboard radar seeker homes in on a radiation-emitting target.
10: missile has a speed of Mach 2 and a range of up to 155 miles. But it depends of height of release
11: If range figure is correct, then it surpasses AGM-88E AARGM (Advanced Anti-Radiation Guided Missile). latest U.S.-made missile of its kind to enter service. Which may have range of 80 miles.
12: Russian-made Kh-31P currently on SU-30MKI has range of 68 Miles, but it flies faster at 3.5 Mach
13: some experts say Rudram-1 range is between 62 and almost 93 miles
14: new missile can be locked on to a target before or after launch. lock-on after launch (LOAL)
15: useful especially for hitting targets at greater standoff range. For safety of plane and pilot
16: any target beyond 62 mile radius would have to be engaged using the LOAL mode.
17: relies on the emitter’s type and its general location being known in advance, and that the hostile radar is switched on for at least some of the time during the engagement.
18: missile would fly out to the target using its GPS-aided inertial navigation system before its passive seeker took over.
19: Rudram-1 will be added to the Su-30MKI’s armory, including Astra BVR beyond-visual-range air-to-air missile and Brahmos supersonic cruise missile.
20: Pakistan received the MAR-1 anti-radiation missile that was developed by the Mectron company of Brazil. Integrated on Mirage III and V and maybe on the JF-17 Thunder multi-role fighter.
21: demonstrating a new capability to Pakistan, the test of the missile could be a signal to China
22: no coincidence that the test of the Rudram-1 comes in the wake of China deploying air defense assets to that region.
23: very long-range supersonic anti-submarine missile, a hypersonic scramjet-powered vehicle, an extended-range version of the Brahmos cruise missile, laser-guided anti-tank missile, nuclear-capable Shaurya ballistic missile
24: Clearly, India is not only extremely active on a host of advanced missile programs but is also especially keen to publicize its successes in a field in which it’s still a relative newcomer
