China deploys new CSS-5 missiles on border with India

[Dash]

bang on target dude............... we should meet up some time....... which college u from Me frm New horizon ...................coming back to topic too much delay is too bad for countering china since they have already well established roads and railways and military bases .............. well as i said that ... it is also under a country's rite to defend its borders as it is india's

Bro -

China may be quick in establishing an infrastructure on the other side of the border, but it doesnt mean that we are behind.

Their side of tarrain is more of a platue where our side is rocky and mountaneous, so its difficult for us to match it up and I will say we will never match them given these probelms we have.

So we are making as many roads we can but also securing and upgrading airfields, buying heavy lift planes, transsportable radars and stuff to mitigate the risk.

these acts of Chinese is normal yet provocative, needless to say we already might have our IRBMs deployed in these reagions.
The most important thing here is that we must not go into an arms race here with China, coz these verywell lead to a cold war.

and in cold war US only provocated USSR to divert all their funds to Military use and here we shouldnt do that, trust me they will not attack us and we have tto gauge our options right here.

Like "Benny" said the US might be trying to take advantage of this situation.

Know about the DongFeng 21 (DF-21, NATO code name: CSS-5) – China deploys CCS-5 missiles on border with India

Medium range ballistic missiles -



The DongFeng 21 (DF-21, NATO code name: CSS-5) –
Country: - People’s Republic of China
Alternate Name: - DF-21
Class: -MRBM
Basing: -Road mobile
Length: -0.70 m
Diameter: -1.40 m
Launch Weight: -14700 kg
Payload: -Single warhead, 600 kg
Warhead: -Nuclear 250 or 500kT, HE, sub munitions, or chemical
Propulsion: - 2-stage solid
Range: - 2150 km
Status: -Operational
In Service: -1987
Developed by China Changfeng Mechanics and Electronics Technology Academy (also known as 2nd Space Academy).



Note that - Many believe that China has plans or desire to take control of Arunachal Pradesh, which China asserts as part of Tibet and therefore of China, and over the Aksai Chin region at the western end of the Tibetan Plateau.

The CSS-5 is a variant of the CSS-N-3 sea-launched ballistic missile system which started development in the mid 1960s.

The first CSS-5 test launch occurred in 1982 and became operational in 1987.
An improved CSS-5 Mod 2 became operational in 1996.

It is believed that production of the CSS-5 was approximately 35-50 in 1994 and had increased to 50-100 by 1998.
It is reported that production of the CSS-5 had ceased by 1998.

The CSS-5 is a medium-range, road mobile, solid-propellant ballistic missile.
It was the first road mobile, solid propellant missile system developed by the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
It is a variant on the CSS-N-3 (JL-1) submarine-launched system and replaced the obsolete CSS-1 in the early 1980s.
The primary advantage of the CSS-5 is its solid-propellant system, which significantly increases its service life and mobility while decreasing its maintenance cost and the required launch time.

The CSS-5 is a tactical missile system, though it has a few strategic applications.
While its payload and accuracy are sufficient to destroy civilian population centers, it lacks the range to reach key Russian or US cities.
The CSS-5 can be effectively used as a deterrent against India,

It is capable of being used against large targets such as airports, seaports, or key staging areas.
It is reasonably effective against these targets even if not deployed with a nuclear warhead, making it an effective tactical system.

In the case of an attack on Taiwan, CSS-5 missiles with conventional warheads will almost certainly be used to soften the island prior to an invasion by striking defensive forces.

The CSS-5 system is highly mobile, resulting from its solid propellant and Transporter-Erector-Launcher (TEL) vehicle launch system.

It can be easily transported, and its launch time is only several minutes, making it able to be deployed during a rapidly changing military situation.
Its TEL system enables it to be moved to critical areas quickly and avoid targeting by opposing forces.
This greatly increases its effectiveness as a tactical system and enables it to be hidden in rough terrain.

The CSS-5 system is also used to project power in Asia.
The CSS-5 is currently deployed at the Burmese border.
Now China has deployed the CSS-5 at the close to the borders with India and developed contingency plans to shift airborne forces at short notice to the region.
The PRC uses its nuclear and military superiority to exert control in the region

The CSS-5 can deploy its 600 kg payload with a minimum range of 500 km (311 miles) and a maximum range of 2,150 km (1,336 miles).
Its payload carries a single warhead that can be equipped with a 250 or 500 kT yield nuclear device, conventional high explosives, submunitions, and chemical agents.
It uses an inertial guidance system that is capable of striking with an accuracy of 700 m CEP.
It has a length of 10.7 m, a diameter of 1.4 m and a launch weight of 14,700 kg. The missile uses a two-stage solid propellant engine.

The DF-21 has also been developed into space launcher and anti-satellite/anti-missile weapon carrier.

DF-21C is a conventionally-armed MRBM system with upgraded mobile launcher and guidance system. The missile was said to have a payload of 2,000kg and a maximum range of 1,700km.

The DF-21A missile is believed to be configured for strategic missions only. The missile is carried inside a canister mounted on a truck-towed trailer for road-mobile.
The missile is placed inside a cylinder-shape container/launcher, with its nose extending outside of the launcher.
The missile container/launcher is in horizontal position when in traveling and vertical position during launch.
At the bottom of the container/launcher there are four large hydraulically operated stabilizers, which are lowered in preparation for the missile launch.
The missile is contained in an alumni-alloy cylinder launch–tube which keeps the missile in an invariable temperature environment.
The launch tubes have an elevation range of 0 to 90 degrees.
The azimuth range is from -180 to +180 degrees.
The missile launch-tube is carried on a 3-axes semi-trailer TEL, which is towed by a HY473 6X6 tractor truck.
The TEL trailer and tractor are equipped with hydraulically operated stabilisers which are lowered in preparation for the missile launch.




The sad part of this news is that We Indians come to know about this from Pentagon.
Pentagon in a report to the US Congress said, tensions remain along the Sino-India borders with rising instances of border violation and aggressive border patrolling by Chinese soldiers.
In its annual report, the US Defense department said, to improve regional deterrence, the PLA has replaced older liquid-fueled, nuclear capable CCS-3 intermediate range missiles with more advanced and survivable fueled CSS-5 MRBMs.

China is [ 50 or more ICBMs ] capable of targeting the United States
China’s provision of solid-propellant missile technology more than 15 years ago helped Pakistan develop the Shaheen II medium-range and Abdali short-range ballistic missiles.

India what we got -
The Agni III will allow India to strike targets as far away as Beijing.

Anybody with an internet knows about the developments of that missile from Wikipedia.

It was operational in 1987 and everybody knows its for deployment and not to use instead of firecrackers during Chinese new year celebrations.

oooo Kerala is safe.

 

[techno123]

guys i have only one thing to say..........
"CHINESE AGGRESSION IS GOOD FOR INDIA"
don't worry the AGNI V programme will be boosted by this agression..and thats good for us..
and by the way wen is AGNI V is gonna be tested

 

[techno123]

guys AGNI V has 5000 Range..can it cover whole china and pakistan?

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Americans are desperate to create a tension between India and China so that they can sell weapons in the name of that.

These smart As$es are so much concerned about our security more than us.

I agree with you 100%.

Anyway, India can target all Chinese cities with nuclear warheads.

Starting a war between China and India would only result in nuclear annihilation for both sides.

Who benefits from that?

At Last, a Credible Deterrent

With the successful test launch of Agni-V, India will acquire its first credible nuclear deterrent.

The forthcoming launch of Agni-V, with a range of 5,000 km, has several strategic implications. The missile puts India in a select club of nations that possess a strategic arsenal. This would mean an ability to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Technically, for such a capability, India would need a missile with a reach of 5,500 km. However, upgrading the range of an ICBM from the current 5,000 km is not a difficult task.

Besides, even with its existing range, many important strategic assets in China would be within the missile’s target range. The upcoming test is critical to securing India’s strategic space, given that Sino-Indian relations are still volatile and the Chinese have gone into armament overdrive, with new ballistic missiles such as the DF31 ICBM.

Agni-V is not only capable of hitting major targets in China, it is also likely to be India’s first missile with multiple, independently targeted re-entry vehicles. This means the capability to launch up to 10 nuclear weapons from one missile. This acts as a tremendous force multiplier, and is the backbone of deterrence worldwide.

Agni-V is a three-stage, solid-fuelled missile with composite motor-casing in the third stage. Two stages of this missile are constructed of composite materials, which help in reducing weight while increasing the range.

The other major advantage of this new missile is that unlike Agni-III, it can be packed into a canister and transported over long distances. With mobility come two key deterrent advantages. One, it can be moved to the frontlines in a relatively short time. The second advantage is that canistered missiles make for great decoys. Finding out which canister in which train has a missile, and which is a dummy, is fiendishly difficult. This forces the enemy to deploy greater resources (in surveillance and missile capability) to track and destroy Indian missiles.

The Chinese have taken note of the proposed test and their state-run media have already run comparisons with the Chinese DF31, one version of which has a range of 11,000 km.

The success of India’s missile programme is amazing when you compare it with other projects of the DRDO, most of which have been miserable failures.

The reason for the missile programme’s success lies in its originality. A programme built from scratch, it is not aimed at import substitution. This allows for creativity in thinking and implementation. What’s more, the programme has been focused on a few projects, unlike sundry other DRDO initiatives aimed at making fighter jets, tanks and even fruit juice. Lastly, in the initial stages of India’s Integrated Missile Development Programme, the Russians had been very helpful with designs, technology and scientists on site.

Agni-V is not the only achievement of our missile scientists. India has steadily improved upon its anti-ballistic missile capability. In this field, the nation has an edge over China. Over the past three years—that is, ever since our first anti-ballistic missile test—India has had three successes in three tests. This has, surprisingly, not received its due media coverage, given that it is, by any standards, a remarkable achievement. Shooting a missile mid-air requires computation power, technical sophistication and theatre information dominance. It also credibly boosts India’s deterrence posture since the enemy would have to deploy more missiles than would be the case were India not to have anti-ballistic missile capability.

Besides Agni, the most important missile to be tested this year will be K15, which has a range of 700 km. A different version of the same missile was tested from a submerged pontoon last year. K15 will give India a critical third element of the nuclear triad—the ability to fire from an underwater submarine. While China with its Jin-class submarines is way ahead here, this capability will complete the first step of India’s nuclear triad.

For way too long, India has been surrounded by nations with the capability to annihilate. At long last, Armageddon with an Indian address is at hand

not so fast Benny.

But yeah seriously the DSS-3 is 50 years old and wasn't considered top of the line even then. The majority of them are sitting in their silos, unfueled and unarmed. Times of India and their shameless pursuit of copy...

 

[Hud]

Haha hahaha you guys are scared of ballastic missiles being deployed by chinese along the Indian border which can be countered any day by deploying our own idngenious ballsatic missles and ABM batteries.
But tell me how will India counter this threat.
New evidence from China indicates that, as part of its planned diversion of the waters of the Brahmaputra, preparations are afoot to start work on the world’s biggest dam at the river’s so-called Great Bend, located at Tibet’s corner with northeastern India. The dam, by impounding water on a gargantuan scale, will generate, according to a latest map of planned dams put up on its Web site by the state-run Hydro China, 38,000 megawatts of power, or more than twice the capacity of the Three Gorges Dam. Such is its scale that this new dam will by itself produce the equivalent of 25 percent of India’s current electricity generation from all sources.

Hmmm building roads and trenches on our side of the border is a provocative move towards the peace-loving Chinese..but they deploying long range nuke missiles is self-defence.

gimme a break.

p.s.: Im not faulting the Chinese in any way for this.They r doing for self-defence which they r entitled to.
This is just for the Pakistani and BD members who cry indian provocation at the drop of a hat.

how can you say china is a peace loving country remember what they did in 1962 when we were constantly trying to improve relations between them with popular slogan 'hindi-chini bhai-bhai' and they replied by attacking us and china for years have been building raods railway lines along indian border we are building raods and trenches over there as a counter move and theyare now placing nuclear missiles along the border which will provoke india to place it's nuclear missiles over there and resulting into increased tensions.

 

[conworldus]

It is basically missile defense. In case India launches a nuke at China out of surprise, we will be prepared to shoot it down that's it. Attacking India requires no DF-21 missile. Rocket artillery will do because it is much cheaper and the range goes to about 400 kms.

In 1962 India was constantly pushing the border by building forward post. China acted out of self defense.

after china stop stealing others technology.

 

[angeldemon_007]

This will worsen the situation....On one end they want peace on the other hand they have deployed more weapons on their side than combine weapons on both sides of India and Pakistan. I mean if you don't want war then there is no need for such large number of military presence or you intentions are not right....i hope we stop stalling the modernization of our forces....
