Hi! I never claimed that K-15 had any servo controlled nozzle. The only missiles in indian inventory to possess that is Agni-4,5 and K-4. Btw,have a look at this launcher(TCT-5 canisterized launcher for A-5)- http://i.imgur.com/jpwkYF6.gif As far as I remember there was a CAD model of flex...

Hi shaheen! It is unwise to base your argument on an old pic of a missile that merely served as a technology demonstrator and precursor to larger more powerful 2m rocket i.e A-5. I dont know what you mean by "real TVC" but rest assured DRDL/ASL has designed servo controlled...

Hi shaheen missile! Of course a missile system without any external control surfaces is more complex to design than a system with external control/stabilization surfaces. The problem however is,the TVC(servomechanism controlled nozzle) has to account for stability as...

That is not entirely correct.Israel has competencies in various solid engine. However they are very good in electronics,radars etc.

Hi shaheen missile! Target Vehicle is technically india's first ship launched ballistic missile(a lot of people think that K-15 is navy's strategic weapon). This TV or Prithivi missile is mounted on a gimbal stabilized platform to provide stability in the face of...

Hi dear shaheen missile! Ignorant wouldnt really be the kind of word you'd use to address someone who is educated enough and has worked on couple of projects like these. I thought you were educated enough to understand the difference. Just to simplify things for you,lets just delve a bit deeper...

Hi dear Shaheen Missile! There is no doubt that pakistani strategic missiles are more off road capable vis-a-vis their indian counterparts by virtue of using either chinese(which are in turn copies of soviet TELs:sold to them after collapse of USSR by...

Hi @The Deterrent I have realized one thing here,itz not meaningful to engage in discussions with every tom dick and harry on this forum.Instead we must engage with those willing to see and understand various engineering aspects behind a weapon system. I would...

Hi @Bad Guy kindly note that this thread is about warheads and perhaps discussion pertaining to respective strategic missiles in each other's inventory.It is not about indian launch vehicles. So refering to LVs in a thread doesnt make any sense. We should stick to point.

Yes I write a lot of bash.I love bash a lot.

First you should have K-5 ready,right? But lets just assume it has been developed and all the pontoon firings completed,It will still take couple of years to integrate it with the vessel. If they add a hump to the sub,then yes it can be accomodated,but it will again require a lot of changes...

@The Deterrent Absolutely correct.The follow on class of arihant is gonna have 12 silos of dia roughly equal to 2.4m. Those claiming arihant to have silo dia>3m are merely dreaming--I am referring to some of the indians who think that way! Not only the new sub will have...

Hi shaheen missile K-5 is not on drawing board at the moment--it was 5 years back--but not anymore. It is under advanced development phases. Unfortunately I am not at liberty to write things which havent been published in open media.Rest assured,K-5 has in fact...

Sure I will give it a try! But i still cant fathom the reason as to why they'd use a liquid engine as a 3rd stage.

Hi Shaheen Missile! To be honest,I am a control engineer and computers and electronics is something I am good at. Warhead design is more metallurgical in nature and I am sure more knowledgable people in that domain would be able to answer your queries. But based on...

Hi dear Shaheen Missile(yes I can read urdu!) Whatever you said about the liquid rocket is correct however let me add a couple of more points.First off,a liquid rocket offers superior mass fraction vis-a-vis solid rocket.Initial thrust indeed has to be massive...

Tell,me why do you think I am biased?I did not write anything to demean the missile. Whatever I wrote was based on my understanding and available open source literature. The tested and reliable solid rocket that we see in ababeel is perhaps from shaheen series that in turn uses a 1.4m dia...

Hi The aerodynamic configuration does seem to suggest enhanced payload fairing for supposed MIRV bus.This is indeed the first step towards developing a MIRV missile--because pakistani missiles have a smaller dia of just 1.4m(legacy chinese solid rocket) and for any meaningful MIRV bus they'd...
