1 thing alone, amongst numerous technological hurdles impossible for India to across within this century, renders so called "China killer" Agni 5 an typical Indian delusion.
See if Indian IQ get these:
Fact 1:
the tempreture of warhead during reentry for 10,000km ICBM is about 10,000 degrees.
Fact 2:
the tempreture of warhead during re-entry for 5,000km long-distance missile (e.g. Agni 5)is about 5,000 degrees, roughly using linear interpolation.
Fact 3:
Indian reports indicate that Agni 5 has verified India's capability to handle 2,000 degree reentry warhead.
Therefore, India's true capability of delivering a meaningful & effective warhead (i.e. wihtout being melt by high temp during reentry ) is about 2,000 to 3,000km range.
Even though Agni 5 reached 5,000km, it means 0 woot: India's favourate number)because its warhead, whatever it was, was melted during re-entry in outer atmersphere by >5,000 degrees tempreture.
That's why you'll NEVER see ANY photo, or video clip, or any mention AT ALL about recovering Agni 5 warhead from DRTROLL when they're lying to the big mouth Indian press.
That's why there's little reaction from Chinese language military forums on Agni 5 by Chinese military fans. Simples!
Becasue Agni 5 is meaningless in reality, with its shabby reliability, short (with unmelted warhead) range, G+HUGE CEP, and 0 knowhoe on warhead miniaturosation, etc a whole host of technological hurdles.
Speaking of accuracy, Agni 5 is an embarrassment.
Fact 1: In1980s 580 mission to the South Pacific, China launched ICBMs with a range of over 9,000 km , draw the restricted area of about more than 50,000 square kilometers .
Fact 2: In 2012 when India launched the Indian Ocean Agni 5 , a range of 5,000 km , it draw the restricted area of 600,000 square kilometers .
So the accuracy/CEP of 5,000km Agni 5 is an order of magnitude ( about 11 times) worse than Chinese 9,000km ICBM lanuched in 1980's. Reality Check!
Today I found out where my one night stand in Kowloon with an unknown dancer has ended up. As a ChiCom called Speeder.
Agni IIIan intermediate-range ballistic missilewas developed by India as the successor to Agni-II.[6] Designed by the Indian government's Defence Research and Development Organisation, Agni III is a two-stage ballistic missile that is capable of nuclear weapons delivery. It was designed and developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL),[citation needed] a unit of DRDO, which was formed in September 2001 with its main objective being the development of large-sized rocket motors. ASL developed the propulsion plant for solid-fuel motors, including the infrastructure for propellant casting.
The Agni-III has two stages with an overall diameter of 2.0 m. The first stage mass is about 32 tonnes and 7.7 m long, the second stage mass is about 10 tonnes and 3.3 m long. The missile is likely to support a wide range of warhead configurations, with a 4,500 km range and a total payload weight of 2490 kg.[6]
The stubby two-stage solid fuel missile is compact and small enough for easy mobility and flexible deployment on various surface/sub-surface platforms.[12]
The missile is equipped with sophisticated navigation, guidance and control systems along with advanced on-board computer systems. The electronic systems are hardened for higher vibration, thermal and acoustic effects. A high performance indigenous ring laser gyro-based navigation system was flight-tested for the first time during the Agni-III trial on 7 Feb 2010.[13]
Propulsion
The Agni-III features two solid fuelled stages and with overall diameter of 2.0 meters. This diameter is compatible with a recently tested Indian sub-surface launch system, which has a 2.3 meter diameter launch tube aperture.
First stage booster
The first stage booster is made of advanced carbon composite materials to provide high payload fraction (mass fraction). It weighs about 32 tonnes, is 7.7 meters long and diameter of 2 metres.
Second stage[edit source
The second stage made of maraging steel weighing about 11 tonnes and a length of 3.3 metres. The second stage has flex nozzles, to provide necessary flight trajectory control.
Maneuvering re-entry vehicle: Agni RV-Mk.4
Agni-III supports a wide range of weapons, with total payload weight ranging from ~600 kg to 1,800 kg including decoys and other ABM countermeasures. Instead of conventional bus architecture, the RV (Re-Entry Vehicle) is self-contained with velocity correction package, navigation and re-entry control systems.
The lighter and tougher RV body has an all-carbon composite re-entry heat shield with multi-directional carbon re-entry nose tip and control surfaces. The new lightweight composites can withstand temperatures of up to 6000 degrees Celsius, and are capable of greater re-entry velocity.
