Indian Missiles - News, Developments, Tests, and Discussions

However, they are keeping their fingers crossed because the maiden flight of Agni-II Prime in December 2010 had failed. The flight ended abruptly after a problem in the control system of the first stage of the missile, which occurred during the lift-off.
That's pretty sad. India's can't get even the first stage on a liquid fueled rocket to work properly. The "fine art" of ballistic missiles is maintaining accuracy over long distances and advanced navigation technology like atomic clocks, celestial guidance, etc. If the test last year failed because of something as simple and basic as first stage booster, India is way far behind.

I doubt Agni-2 will be operational before 2015 at the earliest.

Looking to add more lethal firepower to its arsenal, India is planning to test fire its latest 1000-km range sub-sonic land attack cruise missile ‘Nirbhay’ early next year.

Nirbhay will be a terrain hugging, stealthy missile capable of delivering multiple warheads as per mission requirements.

"We are looking to test-fire the new sub-sonic cruise missile in the first quarter of 2012. The Nirbhay will be a new state-of-the-art missile," DRDO officials told PTI here.

With its range of 1,000 Km, the missile has longer reach than Pakistan's Hatf-7 Babur missile, which claims to have a range of 700 km.

The missile is being developed by the Advanced Systems Laboratory under the DRDO.

Sources said the missile will be sleeker than other similar weapon systems that are operational with different countries.

The Nirbhay will be India's second cruise missile after the 300 km range BrahMos, which is a supersonic system. The missile can be launched from multiple launchers and will be inducted into all the three services.

India to test long-range ICBM Agni V

People's Daily Online | November 21, 2011

India will test the Agni-V intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) within the next three months, in hopes of joining an elite club of nations that have ICBMs with a strike range well beyond 5,500 kilometers, according to a Nov. 17 report by The Times of India.

Furthermore, India's Defense Research and Development Organization disclosed that it is stepping up development of multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicles.
 
If a certain GUPTA is to be believed...BRAHMOS Block-3 has a range of 550 Km....
