India Wants to Extend Range of Nuke-Capable Missile

[lilaspr]

India is working to extend the range of its enhanced nuclear-capable Agni 2 ballistic missile despite the weapon's December test-launch failure.

Defense Research and Development Organization Director General V.K. Saraswat said an issue with one of the surface-to-surface missile's parts was to blame for the medium-range system deviating from course and falling into the Bay of Bengal shortly after being fired from Wheeler Island.

The workmanship of the missile's parts has been reviewed, Saraswat told journalists."But we are working on increasing the missile range," he said.

The "Agni 2 plus" was designed for improved navigation abilities and can be tipped with a conventional or nuclear payload weighing as much as 1 metric ton. The missile has a current range of 1,550 to 1,865 miles

Thank God!! This will definitely instigate Pakistan to come up with new series of Missile & perhaps like every time they will be relatively superior!!

Bharat wants to extend range of a "failed missile. The stupidity.

you're right. we should learn from some people and just test russian missile after some paint job.

Better do it first then issue statements rather than isssuing statement first then all DRDO has to show for is one failed missile exploding in midair.

Moral of the story is:Talk less work more.

have you ever looked at the amount of successful projects that the DRDO has accomplished ? Talk less work more quote should be intended for you also, do some research before you go around making claims, the DRDO has more than enough capable individuals to take care of itself.

We sure know the capabilities of the DRDO people dont we?After all we 've been watching its failed projects for decades.

Which failed projects you are watching which country don not have failed projects? Do you know anything about large number of successes? Ignorance at its best!

This was the first test. Many countries including India, USA, France Russia had failures in their first tests but new missiles and technologies failed during first few tests. Look at Russia's new Bulava missile. It failed many times during tests.

The second stage is fully made of composites and the stage separation is new.

@ajtr: i guess in pakistan the media only shows failures of DRDO,so it is natural for you guys to think that way lol.

Dont worry of a missile which is 3500 Km range and failed, rather be scared of the 500-700 Kms one inducted and coz thats coming at you in case of a need arises.
