I thought its already tested.

I thought its already tested.

well news says this time Army test fired it. Usually its DRDO who develops and test the weapons

I thought its already tested.

It is already tested, inducted and deployed.

But It is the strategic force command of the Indian Army who will use it in case of war.

Indian Army will launch a nuke attack from Indian side not DRDO.

So the developer i.e. DRDO has given client i.e. army the full command/control and demo to use it.

Now, by this test, as army itself have tested it or launched the missile now we can say that the army can lauch the missile in case of war without any help from the scientist/DRDO.

Pakistan's missile program is far advanced and better then India so we dont need to worry at all

This has nothing to do with Pakistan buddy lets not get carried away and ya we all agree your weapons program is far ahead of that of India.

Yes .. we are having a much technologically,economically and politically superior neighbour in west, so we have to make peace with it and try to get content with our measly acheivements whatsoever we acheive ..

It seems to me that India is raising one more Regiment belonging to Army or Airforce to deploy Agni in operational role and hence this test is oriented towards user trial.

Balasore (Orissa): India today 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 Balasore 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 told PTI.

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 Balasore.

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.

4 missiles tests in a week and 3 of them in a single day !!
that's too much.
Congratulations to Indian members.

 

[prithwidw]

Thank You very much. Chai peejiye ga?

wow we are on fire lol

I hope Pakistan has captured well all the telemetry data transmitted by Indian missiles. Just for the information of members, when the missiles are test-fired, the telemetry systems are fitted inside the missiles to collect the data on missile like maximum height reached, time of motor buring, time of motor separation (if any) etc.

All this telemetry data is transmitted from missile to the ground station and thus can be easily captured by SIGINT assets like aircrafts, satellites and submarines.

The same goes for Pakistani missile tests. We should make sure that telemetry data is not captured by SIGINT. To do this, no trasmissions should be made by missile. Instead the data be stored in a BLACK BOX like in an aircraft and this box be retrieved after the warhead strikes the ground and then analysed.

But our test are conducted in Orissa ..Pakistan dont have the capability to captured all the telemetry data transmitted from that place..its far far away from Pakistan border unless ofcource China come in to help you..am nt disrespecting your country..

 

[shehbazi2001]

well you may know that details on SIGINT operations can't be disclosed. But in principle, China should be interested in Indian missile telemetry data and china does have the resources to do it.

Even if some could collect the telemetry data, I dont suppose they will be able to read or use them. These data will be encoded with encription algorithms. People who are conducting these tests know very well that there will be plenty of unwanted guests who will be sniffing around, and will take all precautions to safeguard the classified data.

India army test fire strategic missile. Wonderful. Is this is the first suceessful test of Angi series by the Indian Army? If so, Indian army must test this missile and get all the command and control done and properly test before deem this missile operational. There is a difference between deployment and operational.
