India today article does not talk about anything new except the testing part of Agni III SLBM in January 2010 and the air launched missile. ( air launched missile news was already out 2 months back)
1. Agni III SLBM was tested with 2 stages (10 m) and it will be tested with 3 stages (12 m) (as...
Looks like you completely missed the boat. Shourya is the land version of K15/sagarika Hypersonic missile (which would arm India's nuclear submarine). The naval version was tested for almost 4 times in 2006/2007.
By 2008, K15 or Sagarika/Shourya missiles (both land and naval versions) were...
Russia delivers S-300 air-defence batteries to China
China purchased around 160 S-300 batteries from Russia since early 1990s. There is no limit for propaganda of Chinese trolls about their so called indigenous capability. In April 2010, Russia delivered another 15 S-300 SAM batteries to...
The article clearly states why Arjun is better than T90.
I am sure news like this would be a bitter pill to swallow for online trolls, but hey, who cares about trolls !!
Arjun is relatively expensive when compared to T90.
It is like, buy a T90 and get 1 free. In all other aspects Arjun...
Indian Military modernization is going on at a rapid pace
Kargil war in 1999, Operation Parakhram in 2001 after Parliament attack and terrorists attacks between 2000 and 2010, really pushed the bureaucrats to approve deals faster.
Strategic weapons programs directly come under Prime...
Indian media also says that Pakistan is a failed state and it lost all its wars to India.
I understand that freedom of speech or freedom of press is not something Pakistanis and Chinese are used to. Indian media articles about each and every event (some fake, some exaggerated, and some truth)...
:victory: yeahh, Pakistan doesn't have to worry about Anti-Satellite missiles.
Russians are Military buddies and Americans are economic buddies and we are left with ???
:yahoo:
well, of-course, the anti-satellite missiles are for the Chinese. Hands down !!
Abdul Basit may not be entirely wrong !!
1. India has what China ( Southern Tibet or Arunachal) and Pakistan (Kashmir) want.
2. India may not start the war (at least that's what people are fed with) but insiders know the secrets of 1962, 1971 wars.
a. but having said that, India may not...
i raised my doubt in previous post--"if Agni III has a range 6000km with 1400kg payload according to the above graph, i then failed to understand why india is trying so hard to develop Agni V with 5000km range?"
*Note: The graph is for Agni III with just 2 stages.
Simple !!
Agni III range vs...
India is also working on a Quasi-ballistic missile. "Shourya"
main stream media reported range as 750 km @ 1000 kg warhead
India has a wide range of warheads. 100 to 1000 kg
750 km @ 1000 kg
1900 km @ 180 kg
This missile would complement Agni I.

1. Like I said before, range depends on number of factors, not just the weight of the payload.
1. 50% reduction in payload doubles the range.
2. Fuel
3. Weight of the missile. Use of composite materials for most of the stages can reduce the weight of the missile, but it would be loaded...
......and by the way
What is the use in targeting Harbin??
There are other juicy targets like Beijing and Shanghai !!
Harbin is used as an example by some layman journalist to show his half baked knowledge about strategic missiles.
80% of China's oil goes via Strait of Malacca. It is...
I would like to give an online source. People who are interested in missile tech can read it.

very good range vs payload graph !!
The range vs payload for Agni III on the graph is for a 2 stage missile. Agni III with 3 stage variants can carry double the payload.
India has an Agni II variant called as Agni II (AT). It can carry double the payload. (Insiders know about this variant)...
conclusion ?? you wish !!
India's official ranges for different missiles
Agni I - 850km ( 1000 kg warhead) (1 stage)
Agni II- 2000 km ( 1500 kg warhead) ( 2 stages)
Agni III - 3500 km ( 1500 kg warhead) (2 stages )
Agni V- 5000 km ( unpublished warhead weight) ( 3 stages)
All...
I think the youtube video regarding India's nuclear ballistic missiles should have been posted on a sino-defence forum. We already know about Pakistani specific missiles like conventional Prithvi I, Prithvi III, conventional and nuclear Prithvi II, and Nuclear Agni I missiles.
Agni III (A,B,C)...
There is no such thing as "surya"
It is funny to see when people don't find the word surya for the missiles, they assume that India does not have an ICBM yet.
well surya story is to divert the attention of stupid mainstream media and western countries.
To reveal further, India did not...
