인도, 장거리 지대공미사일 개발 시작

[위종민]

인도가 장거리 지대공 미사일 개발을 시작했다고 11월 초 DRDO의 관계자가 제인스에 밝혔습니다. 

프로젝트 쿠샨이란 이름의 이 계획은 현재 설계 초기 단계에 있으며 전투기와 탄도 및 순항미사일, UAV 등의 각종 위협을 350KM 범위에서 탐지하고 무력화할 계획이라고 합니다. 최근 인도가 도입한 S-400과 유사한 정도의 능력을 갖추기를 원한다고 하네요. 

이 물건은 언제쯤 나오게 될 지.

India initiates long-range surface-to-air missile programme

India has initiated a programme to develop long-range surface-to-air missile (LRSAM) systems for the Indian Air Force (IAF) to strengthen its air-defence capabilities, an official at India's state-owned Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) told Janes in early November.

According to the official, the LRSAM programme – termed ‘Project Kusha' – is “in the initial phase of design”.

The LRSAM system will be designed and developed by the DRDO, and it is envisaged to detect and neutralise aerial threats such as stealth fighters, aircraft, ballistic and cruise missiles, precision-guided munitions, and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to ranges of nearly 350 km, the official added.

The Indian Ministry of Defence (MoD) has cleared five units of the LRSAM systems – with similar capabilities to the Russian S-400 Triumf self-propelled SAM systems – for the IAF, a recent clipping from the DRDO's newspaper issue said.

Akash를 SA-6 기반으로 만들었듯이 이 물건은 SA-21 (S-400) 기반으로 만들라나요?

목표 성능이 그 정도이니.. 아예 역설계를 할 지도요 ㅎㅎ
