Remarkably, negotiations between india and brazil allegedly broke down when brazil was only presented with an outdated version of the missile system. The Turkish conservative website has made fun of India's akash air defense system. Here are all the things you need to know.
What is turkey saying about the akash air defence system?
A TRHaber report falsely claimed that the "Akash air defense system sold to armenia on the promise that it could shoot down Turkish UAVs flopped in brazil," according to a report carried by The Week.
The Turkish newspaper further stated that after examining the akash air defense system, the Brazilian Armed Forces decided not to proceed with the purchase because it was found to be incredibly antiquated.
The Turkish media article mentioned Turkey's Memorandum of Understanding with the Brazilian aerospace giant, saying, "Cooperation on the Embraer-built KC-390 military cargo aircraft could deepen if the Brazilian government chooses Turkish systems."
Why is India's akash missile system so dangerous?
The akash missile system can combat airborne threats that are between 100 meters and 20 kilometers in altitude, and it has a range of 4.5 to 25 kilometers. It can target fighter planes, helicopters, and unmanned aerial vehicles and employs a command guidance system. It is movable over various terrains, has integrated electronic counter-countermeasures, and is completely autonomous.
Readers should be aware that the Akash-NG, the much-discussed newer version of the akash missile, is command-guided and has a Mach 2.5 speed. However, the previous version does not have features like network targeting and active homing.
According to sources, india did not provide brazil with the Akash-NG, a missile that is more accurate, has a faster reaction time, and is more resistant to saturation strikes than previous models.
