Agni-V to be tested twice this year, could be inducted by 2015

[Gessler]

The pipe and the attachment are not part of the canister and looks like it is used to attach the canister to the ladder like structure .

This canister is different from any other canister I have seen . No strengthening rings which is seen in almost all other canisters

It says 'shaurya' in Hindi

Well I don't find any rings even on the canister of BrahMos Block-II LACM either -

Read somewhere that some systems also use pressurised air/gas to eject missile out of canister .

Here is another video showing the cold launch .Video is of a failed S300 launch . Missile gets ejected out but the rocket engine does not fire .

A5 is being developed as caniterised road/rail mobile missile .



It is rumored as the A5 canister.

Here is the K15 canister . It also does not have those equipment boxes , ducts on the outside and strengthening rings of metal .

I was referring to ICBM canisters.

Oh please. Idiots running around the place screaming Agni-V is not an ICBM.

A5 is capable of 6,500kms in it's present form.

Pl read latest Agni V thread. It says that its range is over 7000 KM.

In fact Agni V can reach 12000 KM with 700 KG war head. Agni III can reach 5500 KM with 1500 KG war head & with a single TN device it can reach 11,200 KM.
