:p

India in always in serious $hit. We have 2 neighbours who are hostile to us. One is warming up, the other remains as it ever was.

Plus the new missiles would be able to cover almost the ENTIRE China. Currently we cannot, so that will have a very serious effect on the Chinese establishment.

Not to mention, with Agni III, we'd be able to cover Saudi Arabia, Iran, Kazakhastan.

Jesus , What the hell are you doing with Iran ?

Jesus , What the hell are you doing with Iran ?

We are talking about geographical range of missiles, not intent to use them.
Iran is a historical ally and not one that India bears enmity with.

This is the first time that any supersonic cruise missile is launched vertically from a submerged platform. BRAHMOS vertically installed in a modular launcher in the pressure hull of the submarine will increase the ‘offensive power’ of the vessel without compromising on its ‘defensive power’ as the torpedo tubes can be fully utilised for defence. This new variant of the supersonic cruise missile will add more fire power to the Navy’s underwater weapon delivery capabilities.

When contacted by Journalists, Dr. Pillai, CEO & MD BrahMos said that “BRAHMOS missile is fully ready for fitment in P75 (I) of Indian Navy in vertical launch configuration which will make the platform one of the most powerful weapon platform in the World.”

How the hell is a submerged submarine going to identify and mark an enemy ship which is 300 Kms away and launch a BahMos to kill it ?

Looks like a classic case of putting the cart before the horse.

Initial target identification can be done using satellites, AWACS, etc. Lock-on during final approach is achieved using on-board IR signature and TV camera.

Is there a missile test scheduled for every week. Like a traditional 'friday release' for Bollywood release for movies?
Jes' jokin'.

With successful captive trials completed in April, and a fully reconfigured missile now ready for the next phase of development testing, India’s indigenous beyond visual range air-to-air missile Astra is set for its debut firing from an aircraft by the end of this year. As first reported in SP’s Aviation in March this year, 2013 has been christened ‘Astra Year’ by DRDO in light of expectations that the Astra beyond visual range air-to-air missile will finally see a flight test firing from an IAF aircraft.

Now, it is confirmed that it will happen. It has also now learnt that while the base version Astra Mk.1 will have an intercept range of 44 km, it will be the Astra Mk.2 that will be a true force multiplier weapon, with an intercept range in excess of 100 km. That, at any rate, is the intended configuration. The Astra will be deployed from underwing hardpoints on the Su-30MKI, not wingtip pylons as earlier intended. The Astra is an all-weather all aspect beyond visual range and close combat missile that will be deployed on the IAF’s LCA Tejas, Su-30MKI, Mirage-2000 and possible, the Rafale MMRCA in the future too. The missile sports active radar terminal guidance (dual mode guidance), smokeless propulsion, improve electronic counter-countermeasures and what the DRDO calls improved effectiveness in a multi-target scenario.

It cant fit into wing tip mean, its weight is very high than intended?
