I think under the name of Prithvi we have tested all other missiles too.

Why do you say this? The test was conducted after NOTAM was issued.Karthik S wrote:How tests can be conducted without NOTAM? Most likely those were to test launch from under water.
Anything that concerns airmen, must be notified. Especially if can intersect the level at which commercial flights take place. A missile popping up from below to space and then back constitutes a serious issue that a flight captain would like to know about.ramana wrote:Why do you say this?

Pontoon launches to proof the under water launch do not require NOTAM as they are just pop up and splash down mostly.
However to brag and to create an atmosphere of mistrust people confuse the issue and help NPA.
And folks talking about other launches are doing no favors to DRDO.
There are dummy launches which don't require NOTAM.
There are full range tests that require NOTAM and are given.
To all those saying this is a pontoon test, why would you pontoon test a missile? Its already qualified for UWL.
I don't know anymore but just asking those who confidently post.
India successfully test-fires 3,500-km range submarine-launched ballistic missile K-4”The test was conducted from a submerged pontoon and has met the desired parameters. A pontoon simulates the situation of a launch from a submarine,” an official source said on condition on anonymity.
The LCA will not bear Meteor — beyond visual range air-to-air missile (BVRAAM) — that is standard on the Rafale fighter jets, with the French side expressing its reluctance to integrate the weapon with an aircraft equipped with an Israeli-origin radar and the Air Force determined to bring down the heavy imports bill by selecting a home-grown option.
“We are not even looking at the French option. We want to promote the indigenous system and have it equipped across all our platforms. The Astra development programme has been satisfactory,” a top official said.
Sources said after the missile is inducted into the Su30MKI fighter jets from which it has been tested, the system would be integrated on other foreign-origin combat aircraft. The performance of the Astra, sources said, is regarded to be better than similar Russian systems currently in service.
Correct.JayS wrote:Meteor was never going to go on LCA. There were just a bunch of lifafa articles promoting it. Lokos like they now realised the futility in dishing out payments to journos on this matter.
+1, IMO SLBM is more important than Agni 6. K4 has 3500 range with 2 tonnes payload, 1 tonne means it can go 7000 KM. We need a 10,000 wala for our 13T SSBNs. There is no bigger deterrent than SLBMs.Haridas wrote:My mind is super relaxed & dancing in joy at this K-4 test.

Does this logic really work? What distance would missile travel for 0.5 tonne payload in that case ?Karthik S wrote:+1, IMO SLBM is more important than Agni 6.

Sir, many moons ago in your previous avatar, you always maintained that unless the maal is not retested, it will always be FBF boosted device than pure thermo... Now, you being at peace of mind, does it signify any break through?...pls dont answer if not in national interest...thanks...Haridas wrote:My mind is super relaxed & dancing in joy at this K-4 test.

Is the test from a pontoon or from Arihant ? I suppose there will be additional complexities when firing from SLBMHaridas wrote:My mind is super relaxed & dancing in joy at this K-4 test.

Look at the number of MIRV's and payload below. It is from Dr. VK Saraswat presentation at IITB around 2014.ramana wrote:There is no 0.5 tonne payload. So the exercise is academic.
Please look at Agni tests to get idea of the payload.
