Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
I am more of the thought that the chinese article was made by our own MCTC (more commie than chips).. India should do this and should do that...
yes, that article is poorly written, but arrogantly commanding from a tail catching a p5 power.. I am seeing all red coming from home grown MCTCs.

"is there any way to see BRF from pandaland ?" would be a more apt question..

If Panda tests a Anti-Ballistic missile in the next fortnight then it would mean they are truly scared.

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
on Thursday India successfully test-fired the Agni-5 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile, which was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
The missile was test-fired from Wheeler Island in Odisha at 8.05 am.
We have done it boys....

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/04/ ... 3Z20120419Reuters) - India test-fired a long range missile capable of reaching deep into China and Europe on Thursday, thrusting the emerging Asian power into an elite club of nations with intercontinental nuclear weapons capabilities.India can now deter China, it can impose maximum possible punishment if China crosses the red line," Srikanth Kondapalli, professor in Chinese studies at Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University told Reuters.
The rocket is powered by easier-to-use solid rocket propellants and can be transported by road.

"The West chooses to overlook India's disregard of nuclear and missile control treaties," China's Global Times newspaper said in an editorial published before the launch.
This when even NOKO has overnight developed a 6700 km missile. Which hole of the body do these chinese use to talk with.

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
All you wanted to know about Agni V
Reuters / C Uday Bhaskar / Wednesday, April 18, 2012 16:51 IST
India is all set to launch its first ICBM — the Agni V, which has a range of 5,000 km plus, on Wednesday (April 18) and a successful launch will be a significant achievement for the Indian DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organisation) which embarked upon the IGMDP (Integrated Guided Missile Development Project) in 1983 under the stewardship of then PM Indira Gandhi.
India, it may be recalled, was under severe US-led technological sanctions at the time and three decades after the nascent steps taken with the short-range Prithvi missile, it is a matter of considerable satisfaction for the domestic scientific and strategic community that the Agni V is on the anvil.
The technical characteristics of the three-stage solid propellant Agni V merit notice and are testimony to the commendable strides made by the Indian DRDO and its affiliates in the public and private sector in the many diverse engineering and industrial disciplines that contribute to the design and production of a ballistic missile.
Agni V can carry a one-ton payload (meaning a nuclear warhead) and is configured for carrying multiple warheads which can be guided to separate targets independently — thereby giving the missile a MIRV (multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicle) capability. This is a major technological achievement combining as it does guidance and control with miniaturisation of the warhead. Thus, Agni V will be fitted with a PBCV (post boost control vehicle) and a rigorous post-launch technical evaluation will establish the credibility of the missile and its MIRV index.
Indian metallurgy has also contributed in no small measure and it has been suggested that the use of carbon composite in the second-stage motor has led to significant weight reduction and improvement in overall performance. Considerable mobility and time criticality is in-built with the use of solid propellant and this allows the Agni V to be launched from a mobile rail-road platform. However, these are features that will be proven at a later stage — after the successful completion of the first test.
The April 18 test would be a significant technology demonstrator and its strategic implications need to be placed in appropriate context. When inducted into India's strategic forces command (SFC), a proven ICBM capability would enhance India's deterrent capability. This in turn would enhance the credibility of Delhi's No First Use (NFU) commitment as regards the use of nuclear weapons. The Indian doctrine is predicated on not being the first party to use the apocalyptic nuclear weapon — but conveying to its potential adversaries who chose to go down this path that the retaliation which will inevitably follow will be ‘massive'.
The run-up to the Agni V missile launch has seen many references to China and the fact that with a 5,000-km missile India will now be able to 'balance' its imposing neighbour. The reality is more modest. China already has a range of proven ICBM in its inventory that straddle the 5,000 to 10,000 km bandwidth. India cannot acquire any equivalence with China in the WMD domain, nor is it warranted. More importantly, Beijing has a geo-political missile in Rawalpindi and the scope and depth of the Sino-Pak nuclear-missile cooperation adds to the Indian security challenge.
As and when Agni V moves from technological proficiency to assured, credible and proven operational induction — maybe by 2014 — India will move towards acquiring that elusive mutuality it seeks with China. More generous claims or exaggerated interpretation about what the maiden launch of the Agni V implies would be premature and imprudent .

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
Congragulations DRDO!
hopefully we see these tests soon, in the next 2 years
MIRV
ASAT (A-4 or nav upgraded A-2 might suffice)
Sat launch on Demand
and
Space based interceptors that cover mid-course through re-entry phases due to flex nozzle enabled MaRV's albeit MIRV sized ones, these are put in short lived orbits to cover the duration of the conflict
the Canister might come in once the first stage is also made of composites
once we see a MIRVed A-5, it reflects the throw weight (slightly lower due to orbital speeds) it can put in orbit?

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
For me the most significant part is, there are no adverse comments from West, Japan and ME about their usual DDM. It seems everybody is banking on India for their needs, that is the most significant. Bharath is raising again.

Just watched the NDTV interview with Dr. Avinash Chander. I couldnt help notice the fatigue and relief in his face. The guys must've busted their ass for this mission.
Deepest respect for the DRDO folks!!
They make us sleep better at night.

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
Not to rain on anyone's parade but now that the delivery vehicle has arrived what about the all important package it carries. I don't hear any news on the ICF front. So at some point the bullet will have to be bitten and a TN weapon will have to be tested. The only question is when. If this useless UPA is finally flushed down the toilet and the economy can hit double digit growth rates, the answer will be sooner rather than later. At a certain point the elephant will be simply be too large to even think about sanctioning. But we are not there yet.
That is the point the mafia ruling China can be told where to get off. Those SOBs once told India there was no use talking about CBMs wrt to niukes since China was a nuclear power and Yindia (according to the NPT) was not. Arrogant aholes

As per Dr saraswat interview, he mentioned the following Legends for the A-5 Success :(A-5 Team heads)
- Dr, satish reddy is the man behing the nevigation system design for the A-5.
Dr K.L.F Shetty responsible for the A-5 last stage design.
Dr. Gupta, Project Director responciable for all system Intergration.

So now though DRDO may be cost effective, Guru's any idea how much a similar missile would have cost to others??It has cost more than 2.5 billion rupees (480 million U.S. dollars) to develop," the sources said.

Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
I think in their press reports the Briturds are too busy including themselves in the group of countries POSSESSING ICBMS to be worried about denigrating India The DRDO should offer the UQ assistance in developing ICBMs if the poodle's master says it's ok ( massa giving UQ a pass with Trident SLBMs already).When can we expect the "1000000 billion yindoos are living less than a $ a day and they launch ICBMs while appropriating our aid money???" talk from the bretards?
Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
That is the difference.. yindoos are driven by needs and wants.. whereas the advanced retards are driven by showing power and money.
Re: Indian Missiles and Munitions Discussion
total program cost is development cost + unit cost when series production starts. being low volume items, even the unit cost is likely to be quite high considering brahmos cost $10mil a shot.
we will likely build ourself a fleet of around 100 A5 road mobile as one leg of the triad....eventually
