Indian test failed

[lhuang]

In other words, looking for an escape route,
or as they say, has the cat's got your tongue.!!

Fair enough, can you tell me what he was asked?

 

[desiman]

No no,bcs DRDO made a big voice before test, attracted many people to celebrate for this test here ,including us.But DRDO teased us.

I was born in China, brought up in Australia though.

Welcome, remember unless you hate India on this forum, you aren't allowed to be Chinese, so please hate India.

Yes,I believe of you,you are a Chinese man,foreigner even don't know huayu

Wow. Nuclear warhead. hahaha.....Whats your source.

Pakistan's Nuclear Weapons Program

In addition to Kushab, Pakistan is also manufacturing reactor-grade graphite and has its own heavy water plant both of which may be used to build additional plutonium production reactors fueled with natural uranium. It currently possesses two power reactors - the Karachi Nuclear Power Plant (KANUPP) with an output of 137 MW electrical, and the Chasma Nuclear Power Plant (CHASNUPP) with an output of 300 MWe. CHASNUPP is a pressurized water reactor constructed by the China National Nuclear Corporation was completed in late 1995. CHASNUPP began operations in November 1999 and was connected to the power grid (run by the Karachi Electric Supply Company) on 14 June 2000. These reactors have produced 600 kg of plutonium in their spent fuel but this plutonium remains unseparated and under IAEA safeguards.

The Kushab reactor could also be used to produce tritium for boosted weapons. The production capacity for tritium would be on the order of 100 g per year if enriched uranium is used as fuel, enough to boost perhaps 20 weapons. Pakistan is known to be interested in tritium, having acquired a tritium purification and production facility, and 0.8 grams of pure tritium gas from West Germany in 1987, as well as even larger quantities of tritium from China.

According to A. Q. Khan, as well as other Pakistani scientists, the devices tested in 1998 were most of all boosted weapon designs. Pakistan has not tested a true staged thermonuclear device. This implies that Pakistan can built pure fission or boosted fission devices with yields ranging from sub-kiloton up to perhaps 100 kt. Higher yields are possible, but suffer from the delivery weight limits of its existing missiles and probable limits to Pakistani miniaturization technology. China has provided a complete tested designs for a 25 kt pure fission weapon.

In the past, China played a major role in the development of Pakistan's nuclear infrastructure, especially when increasingly stringent export controls in western countries made it difficult for Pakistan to acquire materials and technology elsewhere. According to a 2001 Department of Defense report, China has supplied Pakistan with nuclear materials and expertise and has provided critical assistance in the construction of Pakistan's nuclear facilities.

In the 1990s, China designed and supplied the heavy water Khusab reactor, which plays a key role in Pakistan's production of plutonium. A subsidiary of the China National Nuclear Corporation also contributed to Pakistan's efforts to expand its uranium enrichment capabilities by providing 5,000 custom made ring magnets, which are a key component of the bearings that facilitate the high-speed rotation of centrifuges.

According to Anthony Cordesman of CSIS, China is also reported to have provided Pakistan with the design of one of its warheads, which is relatively sophisticated in design and lighter than U.S. and Soviet designed first generation warheads.

China also provided technical and material support in the completion of the Chasma nuclear power reactor and plutonium reprocessing facility, which was built in the mid 1990s. The project had been initiated as a cooperative program with France, but Pakistan's failure to sign the NPT and unwillingness to accept IAEA safeguards on its entire nuclear program caused France to terminate assistance.

According to the Defense Department report cited above, Pakistan has also acquired nuclear related and dual-use and equipment and materials from the Former Soviet Union and Western Europe.

I would say this was a partial success of the test. At least one feature of the BMD got tested and met design parameters.
What failed was the 'modified' prithvi target missile, which anyway is not going to be the end product.

You are not getting the point here mate. The third test was a success and withing a window of few hrs interception was supposed to be done for in bound hostile missile from unknown direction.

This time the trajectory was programmed for target missile with a trajectory of high endoatmospheric and mid course interception.
Also simulation test were conducted before this test.

Let me put it like this. If you have a AAD missile defence batteries and radar programed to intercept any thing in bound towards New Delhi why would you go for something not posing threat but deviating towards another city.

As far as deviation of prithvi is concerned, it is was a modified platform which is typically not operational this way. No one can ensure that even a volley of many ballistic missiles will hit the bulls eye. If prithvi was off the programed path, off the sanctioned air space then why would you go for a kill.

Its a good sign that system programmed to intercept particular reentrant missile, with a particular range of speed and air space is working well. Also a war ready missile defence is always multi layered and hopefully for India space and air early warning systems will be interested very soon. More test to come guys AWACS are ready for the job.

Thursday, Indian Generals don't sleep well..............

Friday, With objective of giving sleepless night to Indian generals met, Pakistan transfers money to China...

 

[Chanakyaa]

This test is a success or not is entirely out of critisism and has nothing to do with the credibility of Indian MISSLILE CAPABILITY.

ITS A TECHNOLOGY BEING NOT FULLY MASTERED EVEN BY BIGWIGS, AND INDIA IS THE ONLY ONE TO POSESS SUCH AN ACTIVE MISSILE DEFENCE PROGRAM IN ASIA ALONG WITH CHINA.


So how can we critisize the first step that no one has even dared to even consider?

If you have asuccessful BMD, only then make fun of Indian system else u r NOT qualified to make the aassessment.

Note that if Patriot or S300 fails to intercept a hostile missile never means Minuteman and Tupolov wont fire both being in the class of Defensive and Offensive weapons respectively... No comparision.


Agni Y is there strong and successful and eneough to make strikes.

AAD and @PAD are already tested successfully, but to make it effective you have to make several new conditions, changes to parameters to ensure ur weapon is capable to detect and destroy every variable threat... Ofcourse with every change u cant expect the system to do 100% success,

REMEMBER, even the Trillion Dollar Ronald Regan Budget couldnt make a success in this field.

Then again better to a Superpower than a minute Zionist state.

 

[Peshwa]

No no,bcs DRDO made a big voice before test, attracted many people to celebrate for this test here ,including us.But DRDO teased us.

So now you have a problem with the transparency? Shouldnt a government agency announce the test of a critical defence system being paid for by Indian tax dollars?....How else does one hold DRDO responsible?....

I fail to see why certain members insists on portraying somehow that announcing a test = Boasting.....

Do remember that the reason you guys are getting wet over a possible failure of this test is because we are honest enough to report it....unlike certain communist countries where failure is not an option or "newsworthy"....we believe in public awareness.

 

[zeus]

Guys , Test was of Interceptor missile and not of modified prithvi which failed which is never gonna be inducted .

 

[Imran Khan]

take it easy yaar. dil pe mat lo. ajj fail to kal pass ho ga.

 

[Roby]

Then again better to a Superpower than a minute Zionist state.

The funny part is, the so called Superpower also paying millions to the minute Zionist state.

Why did it failed ? was it bad engineering or lack of knowledge or both I am confused it was tested million times on paper mache

 

[ssheppard]

Here's the statement from DRDO about today's abortive AAD test: The flight test under Programme AD was planned to be conducted on 15 Mar 2010 to demonstrate the interception of Tactical Ballistic Missile in endo-atmospheric region. As part of the mission, a target missile mimicking the incoming ballistic missile in terms of altitude and speed, was launched from ITR, Chandipur on 15 Mar 2010 at around 1010 hrs.

The target missile took off in normal way; at T+20 sec (approx) the target deviated due to some onboard system malfunction and could not maintain the intended trajectory, failing to attain the desired altitude profile. The Mission Control Centre computer found that the interception is not warranted as the deviated target did not present the incoming missile threat scenario and accordingly the system intelligently did not allow take-off of the interceptor missile for engaging the target. The cause of the target malfunction is being investigated by analysis of tele-metered data.

The funny thing about many Pakistani's is that they consider the "atomic" bomb to be their greatest achievement to date as well as their most powerful weapon.....
Yet many are obessessed with the "minuteness" of Israel.....

I hope they understand what Im getting at......
