India does not have an ICBM programme

[paritosh]

The highlighted part is incorrect.

You are equating GSO and GTO.

GSO is a perfect circular orbit while GTO is a highly elliptical orbit.

a GTO is used to put a satellite into a GSO...the perigee of the GSO is used to launch the satellite from a GTO to a GSO...one of the three ways you can put a satellite into orbit.
but why the heck is everyone discussing this?
we know how to put geo-sync sats...what has that gota do with ICBMS?

 

[paritosh]

One question, how can something be elliptical if you have a CONSTANT 35,700 above the surface? That would surely make it circular wouldn't it? Just a thought...

the distance mentioned is that of the apogee...the furthest point from the surface of the earth...when you are doing physical calculations...you use the center of the earth for relative distances and potential energies...for all other purposes you use the distance from the surface of the earth...as all communications happen on the upper-strata.

 

[paritosh]

GTO and GSO perfectly visible here.

yesss..I was going to upload an image like this...this is exactly what was needed to quell doubts...
the launch vehicle puts the satellite into a NEO(near earth orbit)...which is an easier orbit to attain...then the first thrust puts the satellite into the GTO...
the satellite is then given thrusts from the apogee of the GTO which is also the perigee of the GSO...so as to make it follow the proper GSO orbit...

ICBM's are not required. A country responsible for 1/4th of the world population cannot harm anybody until and unless provoked. i would recommend a good missile defense system

China is bigger than India in population.

So, according your logic, Chinese doesn't need ICBM and anti-missile systems? Maybe since china is largest ethnicity on earth, they should stop making bullets as well? LOL!

Actually, more the population & size, bigger is deterrence requirement. France doesn't need those big ICBM's. Its a pony country. They should ask Americans to install anti-missile systems on France borders. That will be enough for France.

this is the first good thing about bharat rakshak i have heard from a non-indian...the posts there might be indian but contain a deep down analysis of the core..

Not really.

Bharat-rakshak is moderated by a group of narrow-minded people and I don't think they represent general opinions in India, which is broader and warmer towards Pakistanis.

after Agni 5, we will achieve a complete set of Missiles. Because Agni 5 can be modified into an ICBM, we do not need a 1.5 ton bomb we need TEN 150kg Bombs( its more devistating). and 150 Kg bomb is sufficient to yield >100kT.
Just reduce the number from Ten MIRVs to Five, we will have an ICBM( but we don't need it).

What's needed is to launch them from different platforms quickly and make them more stealthy and accurate in terms of CEP.

Actually, France has ICBMs. They are placed inside the subs.

M45 (missile) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

All P5 has ICBMs and ICBM ranged SLBMs

First, get agni v working first.

opps! that can be done with Agni 3 also

 

[MilesTogo]

I am sure we have ample detterence without ICBM. I don't see any near term threats that need attention except terrorism or a world war scenario.

 

[xman]

BMD is what requires attention along with launch platforms of our BMs'

 

[faithfulguy]

Only in India where an MRBM can can be an ICBM. I'm certain that scientist in the US and Russia are idiots. They spending all those money and resources developing ICBM when they could have just made IRBMs ICBMs.

bhai jan i was talking about the technological inputs given by the people out there...every topic is discussed in minute details over there..
as much as narrow minded people are concerned, they just part with indian side everytime....everybody does that for his country..
also most of the time it is done to put some humor..but again this is my opinion .. feel free to disagree

and yes

Yes, I agree Agni V needs to be working first and we are expecting this to happen may be by the end of year. Lets wait till then..

But why ICBM??? all the far off nations are our friends. few of the near ones have some ego problems due to recently aquired economic clout as well as may be they fear that somebody is getting ready to give them a hard time. For them we dont need ICBM we have enough deterence...
