India should go ahead with the R&D n keep everything in place except for testing the 8000+ km range ICBM physically .

Only when there is sufficient need India can test after taking Europe, US and japan into confidence.

In war scenario for ex with pakistan .
The main target will be our missile stocks ..if you have missiles capable of say 10000 km we can keep them in safe distance and fire from there ..

 

[lightoftruth]

yes ,we should not limit our range on the basis of immidiate threat perception nobody knows the future.

Agni-VI to be ready by mid 2014 - South India - Orissa - ibnlive that link says Agni 6 range is upto 10k.

I'm more interested in MIRV of Agni 1 and 2 .is their any such possibilty ?

I think we should build 8000 km SLBM,but not land launched version of this...it'll send signal to and assure those worried countries that we are not developing missiles for them,just making some deterrence..

India needs ICBMs and SLBMs pointing at entire eastern seaboard of China, New York, Washington DC and London.

If we want to be a world power, if we want to be on security council , then Yes, some power through Missiles will have some say !
India will develop it, but slowly , not to get the world's attention too soon !!

Considering the current security threats, missiles covering China will suffice.

If it didn't I guess India wouldn't have devloped the Agni V with a speculated range of ~8,000km and wouldn't be working on the 10,000km+ range Agni-VI.

Nukes are a political tool, India needs this tool in it's armory, in order to secure Indian interests, instead of buckling to US pressure. As of now, GoI cannot handle US and Chinese pressure.

loll india doesnt need to ask anyone for testing its missiles. we will build it with time. does is not even an argument.
