[edit]

How is this missile comparable to the Patriot or the S-300? Both are long-range missile systems with considerable anti-ballistic-missile capabilities. The Akash has a sixth of the range and the article lists no ABM capabilities. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 153.26.241.6 (talk) 08:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

haha, well said. Not to mention there is no mention of the Kvadrat (SA-6) in this article, despite Akash missile being clearly developed from it. National pride I guess... -Shamil —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.10.28.252 (talk) 05:54, 29 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

40% MORE RANGE FOR INDIAN MISSILES!!!

Well, the sources talk about Agni III not Akash, so this part should be deleted in this article until it can be confirmed, that Akash uses it as well. And please sign your discussion contributions with --~~~~

read again! Agni III is just given as a example. its applicable to all missiles!!!

--samar60 (talk) 13:41, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its nice that you've highlighted this breakthrough, however I fail to see how this is specifically applicable to the Akash for the following reasons: 1) The article states, "[the] enhanced range is made possible by adding a special-purpose coating of chromium based material to the blunt nose cone..." The Akash doesn't have a blunt nose cone and there is no evidence of any variant of the Akash that uses one. 2) G Jagadeesh, assistant professor at IISc, was quoted in the article saying that, "...missiles [flying] at hypersonic velocities which are more than five times the speed of sound encounter atmospheric drag because of friction. The chromium coating works by adding temporary heat and pushing the stagnating gas away to create an easier path.” The Akash missile has a maximum speed quoted at Mach 3.5, not Mach 5 where this type of drag is encountered. 3) Even if this technology is applicable to the Akash, its still speculative. The DRDO, IAF, IA, etc. havent mentioned anything about a chromium coating on the Akash's nose cone. --L1CENSET0K1LL (talk) 20:30, 2 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AKASH VS PATRIOT and Operational multitarget-handling surface-to-air missile systems capability

[edit]

Akash is superior to the US Patriot. Unlike Patriot, Akash does not coast while it approaches the target, and thus has a higher kill probability. Liquid-fuelled missiles like Patriot would have burnt up all the fuel before they reach the target. In solid-fuel systems, the fuel is rationed so that the velocity is maintained throughout the flight.The Akash system is not just about a few missiles, but also about the three-dimensional radar, its command-control system and many other systems.

With Akash, Indian scientists mastered two unique technologies-multi-function phased array system integration, and integration of ram-rocket propulsion, aerodynamics, structure, and control. "But the beauty of Akash is in something else-that we had 100 per cent success. We conducted nine trials, and not even one failed," said Prahlada.

Fine, but it would be better to insert it as reference at the right place, not as general weblink. --zaphodia (talk) 21:08, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

its just a comparison of the two SAMs! --samar60 (talk) 13:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but now you are citing This system is more accurate than the similar MIM-104 Patriot from USA, says Dr.Prahlada from the Defence Research & Development Ogenisation. without pointing to the reference. This would be more accurate. --zaphodia (talk) 21:45, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i think that should be enough... the full interview with Dr. Prahlada is sited under links. --samar60 (talk) 21:51, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It should be mentioned that as to what version of Patriot he is talking about. the difference between Patriot and PAC-III is huge. when they Patriot was unable to perform well in 1991 gulf war, Patriot Advance Capability was developed, it was then then improved to PAC-II and then to PAC-III when performed well in 2003 Iraq war. So PAC-III is a result of System which has been improved n evolved after its performance during 1991 gulf war.--60.243.161.52 (talk) 06:07, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Akash Range

[edit]

Will you please stop changing the range of the Akash. The missile range is only 25-30km. No source says that the missile can travel as far as 60km. Even the source that is used states the following:

"The Akash system, which will be fitted to the army's T-72 main battle tanks, incorporates a Hyderabad-developed Rajendra phased array radar that can track up to 64 enemy fighter aircraft simultaneously over a radius of 60km.

Akash protects fast-moving tank columns from enemy fighters and can shoot down enemy fighters at ranges as far out as 25km."

THIS DOES NOT MEAN THE MISSILE CAN TRAVEL 60km. IF YOU THINK OTHERWISE, PLEASE POST A SOURCE. I am reverting the change back to 30km. If you want to discuss this, post a source that claims the MISSILE can travel 60km - NOT the radar range.

Hello@I ame Shears. Akash missile can only travel 25 to 30 km while its Rajendra PESA radar can track range upto 60 and search 64 target and launch 12 akash missile.

[edit]

If you read/cite "3000 on order" than write 3000 on order not 3000 in inventory. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SojerPL (talk • contribs) 11:58, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

[edit]

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

 Resolved This issue has been resolved, and I have therefore removed the tag, if not already done. No further action is necessary.—cyberbot II NotifyOnline 20:08, 9 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Akash Mk2

[edit]

Hello @Gazoth:, you recently reverted my edit citing reliability issues with source and copyright for using same language. I'm willing to discuss regrading reliability of source I quoted but the previous revision seems to have deleted permanently. Hence, I can't even see my edit. Please, at least leave a notice for me. Aman.kumar.goel (talk) 16:05, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Aman.kumar.goel, I had nothing to do with the revision deletion. You have to contact the deleting administrator if you have any issues with the decision. However, since WP:RD1 is only used for obvious copyright issues, I don't see anything coming from that. Regarding the reliability of the source, it quoted a blog, "Maxima Vigilanta", word for word. The blog is self-published and is thus unreliable, which also extends to any source that quotes the blog. —Gazoth (talk) 16:27, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
