You just proved I have wasted my time writing and explaining. There is no "terrain mapping" in any version of Agni. Period! Where do you pull these from? As I said, LRGs were introduced in as far back as Agni-3. RLG measures either euler angles or the rates. The drift here refers to the bias...

@God Parshuram Actually, RLG were introduced in as far back as Agni-3 itself. Since we were talking about accuracy alone, I thought we should confine our discussions to sensors and actuators that help in improving accuracy. I was specifically talking about RLG/FOGs. Also you have a very wrong...

Hi @The Deterrent Yes the length of first stage of Shaheen-3 is definitely longer than S-2. Similarly even the 2nd stage length seems a bit longer. What a longer motor means is that it can fire for a bit longer thereby accelerating for a bit longer thereby imparting a higher Vbo at burn out. It...

Don't engage folks who don't happen to have any experience either industry or academic.

Hi @The Deterrent These are the acquisitions that I deem as 'equalising' in Indo Pak scenario. For instance the advent of AIM120 for the first time in many years leveled the playing field for PAF - which was heavily dominated by IAF with R27s and R77s. As of now qualitatively at least in terms...

Hi @Maarkhoor First learn to compose messages properly. Do not use right to reply unless and until you have significant to contribute

@The Deterrent TVC is something I've personally worked on. In fact my very first paper published at AIAA GNC (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) was on adaptive sliding mode control of Thrust Vectored aerial vehicles. The problem with thrust vectoring control (in case where both...

Hi @The Deterrent I'd beg to differ on the word 'cosmetic' here. All these technologies mean something significant and improve the deterrence capabilities of the country in investing in them. For instance removing external fins and having TVC imply that the system can now be canisterized...

Is it just me, I like family guy a lot. Lol- that's the first time I'd have used LOL on this forum.

Hi Agni 1 might not be in production but Agni 1P hasn't been revealed either- at least till now. What we are seeing here might be either Agni 1P or Agni2. But one thing is certain the modernization drive to introduce some of the technology viz the canisters etc reduce the prep time considerably...

Hi @The Deterrent I'd like to point out that Agni-4 also has very high CEP for a 4000km range missile. Both A4 and A5 are very similar in terms of technology. Definitely I must confess his general knowledge of some of these systems is very good. Much better than any ithe Pakistani. In fact he'd...

Hi @CriticalThought I am afraid I do not know if they've been used before in mountainous terrain before. But the problem is more to do with finding accurate 'desired position coordinates' of the target. This as I've explained above requires precise geoid undulation maps

Hi @The Deterrent Yes, thats why even I am unsure of the real designation of this system. Have not attended any DRDO organized seminars for past 4-5 years. SLBM is definitely ruled out, it cant have two stages with two different diameters. Agni-1P is also ruled out as the missile in question is...

Hi! A lot of people do not know that the altitude given by the GPS isnt the actual one or earth fixed one. In order to convert this number into something more meaningful, we need geoid ondulation model or map of the local topography in order to find the desired position coordinates of the target...

Hi! Folks! Randomly sifting through internet after ASAT tests, I ran into these pics. This missile seems a bit bigger for Agni-1*. It is also not the ASAT weapon that was tested recently- kindly compare both the stages and it'll become apparent that it is very different from the ASAT that was...

You might be here for 100s of years, I really do not care. What I really care is the industry and research credentials. You should know how the product development process evolves. If you still feel that the industry in India is at the same level it was 15 years back then I really can't help...

Hi @The Deterrent Tbh, at present the doctrine might have been re-tuned vis-a-vis Pakistan, but I dont think it is as massive a change as you are describing it. As I said the physical infrastructure takes time to mature and it will still take a minimum of 5 years before lets say India has at...

Sorry but I don't trade sarcasms I trade facts and I value the statements of those at helm much more than anyone else. You can use lol generously but that's inconsequential really.

Hi, @Hakiket ve Hikmet I generally dont reply blatant trolling, I just couldnt help but notice, are you always this high? You dont have to view Indo-Pak history with a bias all the time, sometimes, it is great to let your rational brain do the work. Sometimes it is more fruitful and productive...

Hi @halupridol Kindly first learn to write correctly with proper punctuation and letters. Secondly, also learn to find out credible evidence. Ajay Shukla is not a credible source. Apart from the structural vibration test, everything else has been cleared for the FOC- and how do I know so? I have...
