Indian Missiles - News, Developments, Tests, and Discussions

[Armani]

Agni-6 will get it.

How can you be sure? Was there a news of it?

Not doubting you, but I'd like to know where the news came from.

Are they ever going to procure an all-terrain TEL for strategic missiles? Like the ones used for Topol-M, Rubezh or DF-31/41? The trailers they use now are largely useless on anything other than perfectly-paved roads, such as the ones on Rajpath. Even if that's a bit of an overstatement, it doesn't hurt to procure these for atleast the latest generation of strategic BMs (Agni-4 and 5) -

We aren't gonna go with stationary underground silos. So if we're going for mobility, might as well go all the way!

No news I've heard. If they wanted, I am sure India can use it's relationship with Russia or Ukraine to get them.

Because it already exist,

Because it already exist,

The pic on top is a Shaurya. Not Agni series.

The bottom image is an Agni-5 canister. Nothing to do with launch vehicle.

The cannister is attached to the vehicle.

Yes, but the vehicle is still the same Volvo trailer....which is by no means considered all-terrain.

A Trailer is a Far more practical and efficient option since the vehicles can then be used for other logistics purpose by unhooking the trailer. Its foolish to dedicate a vehicle for lugging around a missile which will never be fired in its lifetime.

Second, unlike Russia, India is a Very densely populated terrain and we do not have too many plains over which a all terrain vehicle can romp around with a 50 ton missile on its back. For all practical purpose the vehicle will be lugged around on the highways and will be fired from prepared grounds with reasonable motorable access.

In addition to what @VivasvatManu has mentioned - its Motor and RAIL Access!

Cheers!

BHUBANESWAR: The Defence Research and Development Organisation is readying to conduct a series of tests of Indo-Israeli joint venture Medium Range Surface-to-Air Missile (MRSAM) from a defence base off the Odisha coast from Tuesday.

At least five tests of the MRSAM, jointly developed by DRDO and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) of Israel for the Indian Air Force (IAF), have been planned from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-sea.

The missile guided by a radar system and on-board avionics will be fired against a pilot-less target aircraft mimicking an attacking combat aircraft. Both Indian and Israel teams will participate in the launch campaign.

Preparations for the tests are on in full swing. Designed and developed by Research Centre Imarat (RCI), a DRDO lab and IAI, the missile has been manufactured by the Hyderabad-based Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL).

Many Indian industries including Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), L&T, Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) and TATA group have contributed to the development of a number of subsystems which will be put into use in the flight tests.

The 4.5-meter long ballistic missile weighs around 270 kg and can carry a payload of 60 kg. Apart from the missile, the system includes a Multi-Functional Surveillance and Threat Alert Radar (MFSTAR) for detection, tracking and guidance of the missile.

Capable of intercepting incoming aerial threats up to a range of 70 km, the MRSAMs can be deployed to protect sensitive defence bases, metro cities and other important installations like nuclear stations.

The MRSAM system which is yet to get a specific name provides reliable air defence at medium range. Travelling at a speed of Mach 2 the missile can identify and destroy airborne threats like jets, missiles and rockets, including projectiles launched simultaneously.

A contract of Rs 10,076 crore for MRSAM was signed in February 2009. The MRSAM is a variant of long range surface to air missile (LRSAM), dubbed as Barak-8, that the DRDO and IAI are developing for the Navy. The project worth Rs 2,606 crore for Navy was signed in December 2005 and first test of the missile was conducted in November 2014.

As precautionary measures the district administration will shift residents of seven hamlets that fall within 2.5 km radius of the test facility. Adequate arrangements have been made to shift 3,652 persons to temporary shelters prior to the missile tests.

While security has been beefed along the coast for the test and patrolling intensified, fishermen of Balasore, Bhadrak and Kendrapada districts have been asked not to venture out into the sea during test period.

Meanwhile, the DRDO officials have conducted successful test flights of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) Banshee twice on Thursday and once on Friday. Two dozens of Israeli scientists are camping here for the last more than a week for the tests. First test of the MRSAM was conducted on June 30.

[#hydra#]

India is pouring tonnes of money on procuring,developing top end missiles and other ammunitions. We have brahmo,Barack,pplatforms like mki,phalcons,and our Navy too way too powerful. Yet uri attacks happened and nobody isnt even thinking of even limited scale retaliation, nobody is trying to use brahmos against terrorist camps in Azad Kashmir.... Too bad,at one side mod spending taxpayers money on fancy weapons, other side our brave men are getting killed by pak militants.

really ! open missile strike for a covert strike. pay back should be given in same coin.

Agree with u
We should take step like Myanmar crosscountry raid

That's exactly what the handlers of these terrorists want.

India should not fall for it and think strategically.

Another 10 years of continued growth would make India unstoppable.

Not really,the way in which pariker works won't bring herculean difference in armed force capabilities. So its high time to strike back,if pak army doesn't want peace means why we should?
Let me ask one thing,had it been happened in Israel or us or Russia or China,what could have been theirs reaction?
