What is stopping India from producing 5,000 to 10,000 km range missiles? India must obtaining missile of various types (land, mobile and over and under sea) of such range. It is even better if they are sophisticated to evade from enemy and to obtain presition and to deploy mulitple targets at the same time. I am not sure we are going in right direction.

Cause, unless we posses these we may not be effectively able to make to our hostile neighbor (u know whome I am refering to, not pakistan) to stop threatening India. We should not let the hostile neighbor even dream about threatening India.

Hey guys can somebody explain to me why we chose French part of MBDA for a co-development of Maitri SR SAM?
I searched the net a bit and as far as I understand it and found this so far:
-DRDO tried to develop Trishul SR SAM, but the development was cancelled after facing several problems
-IN went with Israel and the Barak 8 MR SAM co-development, IAF evaluated MICA VL and Spyder SAM as gap fillers in the SR SAM field, till an indigenous SAM can be procured and chose the Spyder SAM
So my question, if IN already have a comparable SAM co-development with Israel and IAF found out that Spyder SAM is superior to MICA VL, why do we want a co-development on bases of the MICA VL and not on Spyder SAM?

India successfully tests N-capable Prithvi II, Dhanush missiles
AGENCIES, Mar 27, 2010, 07.47am ISTBHUBANESWAR: India early Saturday successfully tested two nuclear capable missiles Dhanush and Prithvi II in Orissa, official said.
"Both the missiles were successfully launched at the same time at 5.30 hours," SP Dash, director of the Integrated Test Range of Chandipur in Balasore district, told IANS.
While Prithvi II surface to surface ballistic missile with a range of 350 km was launched from Chandipur, some 230 kms from state capital Bhubaneswar, Dhanush, a naval version of Prithvi with the same range was launched from a naval ship off Orissa coast.
The test firing of Prithvi, the short-range, surface-to-surface ballistic missile, which has already been inducted into the armed forces, was a user trial by the Indian army. The sleek missile is "handled by the strategic force command", the defence sources said.
Prithvi, the first ballistic missile developed under the country's prestigious Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP), has the capability to carry 500 kg of warheads and is thrusted by liquid propulsion twine engine.
It uses an advanced inertial guidance system with maneuvering trajectory and reaches the targets with few meter accuracy. It has a length of 9 meters with 1 metre diameter.
The entire trajectory of today's trial was tracked down by a battery of sophisticated radars and an electro-optic telemetry stations were positioned in different locations for post-launch analysis, they said.

India should develop missiles that can lanch multiple missiles with different targets at the same time. These missiles should have advanced navigation and guidances technology. Just like we launched 10 satellites at go. Imagine 3 to 4 missile seperating themselves from mother missile and self/manually navigated/guided towards multiple targets. This way they can penetrate any anti-missile defense technology.

do u hv any link on above statement which you are talking
Thats how most Indian R&D projects in DRDO are killed with deliberate delays by corrupt babus in MoD.
And then contracts goto foreign companies. And, people unaware of this corruption praise Israelis and blame DRDO.
(LCA got first funding in 1989. First flight in 2001. Which country on earth managed that in their FIRST attempt?
Total funding to LCA, in 21 years - $4 Billion. Total imported weapons in 21 years - $120 Billion.)
Same old story. Puppets are happy with Israel,US,Russia controlling India's security.
DRDO should be removed from Ministry of Defense(MoD) and brought directly under PM Office, and should be given Complete Operational autonomy(just like ISRO has). And, TATA, L&T should be allowed to make offensive weapon systems like aircrafts, missile sensors.

BHUBANESWAR: India on Sunday afternoon successfully tested its nuclear capable surface-to-surface Agni I missile from a test range in Orissa, an official said.
The missile, which can strike a target 700 km away, was tested as part of user-trial from a facility on Wheeler Island in the district of Bhadrak by the Indian armed forces, director of the test range SP Dash said.
"It was a fantastic launch," he said.
The armed forces had successfully tested two nuclear-capable missiles, Dhanush and Prithvi II, on Saturday in Orissa.

So user trials of all the missiles are fast tracked to large scale deployment and making strategic command forces familiar with them.

Agni-1 short range ballistic missile successfully test-fired
BALASORE(Orissa): India on Sunday successfully test-fired its indigenously developed, nuclear-capable, short range ballistic missile (SRBM) Agni-1 from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Wheeler Island, about 100 km from here off the Orissa coast.
"It was a fantastic mission carried out by the Indian Army. The test-fire of the Agni-I missile met all parameters," director of ITR S P Dash said.
Blasted off from a rail mobile launcher, the surface-to-surface, single-stage missile, powered by solid propellants, roared into the sky trailing behind a column of orange and white thick smoke at about 1305 hours.
"After piercing the sky, the missile re-entered the earth's atmosphere and its dummy warhead impacted in the waters of the Bay of Bengal in the down range," a defence official said from the launch site, adding that the guidance and re-entry system worked well.
User of the missile, the strategic force command of the Indian Army, executed the entire launch operation with the necessary logistic support being provided by the Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) at the integrated test range (ITR).
Weighing 12 tonnes, the 15 metre tall Agni-1, which can carry payloads weighing up to one tonne, has already been inducted into the Indian Army.
Yesterday, two nuclear capable missiles, Dhanush and Prithvi (P-11), had a successful launch by the Indian Navy and Army respectively.
Dhanush was test fired from INS Subhadra about 50 nautical miles from Puri while Prithvi-11 was test fired from a mobile launcher from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur, about 15 km from here.
On March 22, the super-sonic cruise missile BrahMos, jointly developed by India and Russia, was successfully test-fired from INS Ranvir off the Orissa coast.

The Agni-1 has a range of upto 700 kms.
"The command chain has been validated. This is a major step in the preparedness of the Army in using this weapon system. We have reached the full range capability of the missile," said a DRDO scientist.
The entire trajectory of today's mission was tracked by a battery of sophisticated radars, telemetry and electro-optic systems and a naval ship anchored in the impact point.
The command, operation, integration, execution and networking for the launch was done by the Army.
India successfully test-fired two nuclear-capable medium-range ballistic missiles Prithvi-II and Dhanush in quick succession from different locations off the Orissa coast yesterday.
Dhanush was test-fired from INS Subhadra, about 50 nautical miles from Puri, while Prithvi-11 was test-fired from a mobile launcher from the ITR.
Prithvi-II has a range of 295 km while Dhanush, the naval version of Prithvi, can cruise upto 350 km.
