Agni-5 demo in February 2012: DRDO chief


Oct 22, 2011

MYSORE: Chief Controller of Research and Development DRDO W Selvamurthy said that India’s nuclear capable ballistic missile� Agni-5, with 5,000 km travelling capacity, would be demonstrated in February 2012.


He told reporters at the Defence Food Research Laboratory (DFRL) on Friday that Agni-3, the indigenous missile which can hit a target 3,500 km away has been inducted into the Army.


Now, the DRDO has developed Agni-5, a missile with second striking capabilities, he said and added that the three-stage solid propellant ballistic missiles would enhance India’s nuclear capabilities further.


Selvamurthy said the DRDO is focusing on making weapons besides developing life support technology. The DRDO has separate directorate to look into issues related to patents, industry-interface and technology management other than opening a commercial wing.


He said the organisation had developed missiles, light combat aircraft costing Rs 150 crore each and had saved three times the funds spent on purchase of aircraft and medium combat aircraft.

[Veeru]

Today's bad news!!!

No, its not as we want full proof arrangements and a fully successful launch it was to be tested in December and delay of 2 months is nothing.

A unsuccessful test can send wrong signals so now we are more sure of success.

Nothing serious or to worry..The best news is about the induction of Agni-3..that will do the job

Agni-3, the indigenous missile which can hit a target 3,500 km away has been inducted into the Army.

Whew! Finally! But the induction was pretty hush hush this time compared to the large ceremonies we've had in past in induction of strategic missiles. This is great!! Finally we're learning to be discreet about such matters.

I think there should be more deliverables and less pomp and show from now on whatever strategic we develop and induct. That'd be best. The ceremonialism makes it look like a birthday rather than a threat to the enemies. . Just my 2 paisa.

Yeah,it's great to have the Agni 3 IRBM into operational service but has the GoI enough guts to use them if the need arises sometime in future????
