항공무장 인도 LCA Tejas의 Astra BVR 미사일 발사

[백선호]

거의 30년 전인 1995년에 시제 1호기가 roll-out 했던 인도의 LCA Tejas가 지난 8월 23일에 국산 중거리 BVR 미사일인 Astra를 처음으로 쐈습니다.

2019년에는 Su-30MKI에서 쐈고, 액티브 레이다 탐색기는 러시아에서 설계한 것을 인도 국내에서 생산한 것이라고 합니다.

두께는 AIM-120, Meteor와 같은 7인치 (178 mm), 무게는 154 kg에 정면 접근 비기동 표적에 대한 최대 사거리는 110 km, lock-on 거리는 RCS 5 m2인 표적에 대해서 15 km라고 하네요.

Posted On: 23 AUG 2023 5:08PM by PIB Delhi

Tejas, Light Combat Aircraft (LCA) LSP-7 successfully fired the ASTRA indigenous Beyond Visual Range (BVR) air-to-air missile off the coast of Goa on August 23, 2023. The missile release was successfully carried out from the aircraft at an altitude of about 20,000 ft. All the objectives of the test were met and it was a perfect text book launch.

The test launch was monitored by the Test Director and scientists of Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA), Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) along with officials from Centre for Military Airworthiness and Certification (CEMILAC) and Directorate General of Aeronautical Quality Assurance (DG-AQA). The aircraft was also monitored by a Chase Tejas twin seater aircraft.

ASTRA, a state-of-the-art BVR air-to-air missile to engage and destroy highly maneuvering supersonic aerial targets, is designed and developed by Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Research Centre Imarat (RCI) and other laboratories of DRDO. The indigenous Astra BVR firing from home grown Tejas fighter is a major step towards ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’.

Raksha Mantri Shri Rajnath Singh has complimented ADA, DRDO, CEMILAC, DG-AQA and the industry for the successful firing of the missile from Tejas-LCA. He said the launch would significantly enhance the combat prowess of Tejas and reduce the dependency on imported weapons.

Secretary, Department of Defence (R&D) and Chairman DRDO has also congratulated the teams involved in the successful launch.
