Indian Missiles - News, Developments, Tests, and Discussions

If the target missile is the problem...why the hell they're delaying to June...thr r lots of Prithvi's in service..why take one or move and shoot....it won't take a few hours to move a missile...after all the interceptor is ready...anyway its due to the openness of Indian system that we're able to know the success & failures of defense systems...
The more we test the more capable will be systems.

It was not the same prithvi. It was modified for higher altitude. Creating longer range may be one of the reason.

also that prithvi is very different and customized and of bigger size about 1 meter.

the title is misleading. it should be "Agni missile to get multiple warheads carrying capability".

at first , i was thinking that India has made some breakthrough in nuclear warhead technology, something like W-88 mounted on the Trident II. after all, it took US more then 40 years, since 1945, to develop such small and light warheads. so i felt a little bit surprised to hear that "Agni missile to get multiple warheads"

This is exactly how India works. I had spoken to a scientist in IISE, Bangalore. He was running some tests in the wind tunnel for a few changes they had made to a missile head. The wind tunnel approximately costs around 1 lakh Rs for about an hour of tests, but to get that money released they need to plan and wait forever!!! There is so much paper work and bureaucracy that the process requires time.

Ya most likely Israel is going to get the contract....

 

[su-47]

good move by army. reducing collateral damage and increasing lethality.

israel need not be the one to get the contract. With increasing indo-US ties, USA can bag this order, if they are willing to give ToT.

It would have been grwat to see India develop this tech indegenously, but i don't think our tech is up to that level yet

Each IAI Harop costs around 10 million(source: wikipedia). Seems bit too high for a single use weapon. Any comments guys?

By comparison a 4.5 million reusable Predator uses hellfire missiles($68,000 each).

I don't think these missiles are ment to take out terrorists hiding in a house unless and until they are of the likes of Hafiz saeed or crook like Dawood...We would be more than happy to use two for each of these pigs...

I think this particular phrase sums it all...

The armed forces, of course, are still some years away from inducting combat UAVs like the American Predators, which let loose Hellfire missiles with devastating effect, which are being used in operations against the Taliban and al-Qaida in Afghanistan. They are, however, inducting some loitering killer drones like the Israeli Harpy UAVs, which are designed to detect and attack enemy radars as anti-radiation missiles.

Wouldn't uavs like predator serve the same purpose? It can hover above target and fire missiles at the right opportunity.

Instead of talking about War and Killing, Let us talk about peace.

I am a regular reader of Daily Times articles. Agaisnt all odds (ISI, Military, Mullah, Taliban) see how this paper constantly FIGHTS for peace in this region.

This times it talks about and against Zaid Hamid, a war monger in Pakistan.

I am really moved by this Daily Time article.

dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2010\03\18\story_18-3-2010_pg3_6

Also, I want to remind my fellow Indians, dont blindly talk about War.

Outside this region, especially in Middle east Indians and Pakistanis are very friendly. They easily mingle with and Indian than with an Musilm Arab !
