Interceptor missile mission a ‘failure’

[Windjammer]

The interceptor never took off to intercept incoming “enemy” missile, say sources
The interceptor missile mission, which took place on May 15, was a failure despite claims of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) to the contrary. The interceptor never took off to intercept the incoming “enemy” missile which merely fell into the Bay of Bengal, informed sources said.

An agency report on May 16 said a modified Prithvi missile was launched on May 15 from a naval ship in the Bay of Bengal and it mimicked the trajectory of a missile coming from an enemy country.

‘Never took off’
Informed sources, however, said the interceptor missile never took off from the island; so no interception took place at all. “Post-flight analysis is going on. We do not know whether there was problem in detecting the missile, whether radars tracked it and communicated it to the interceptor,” said the sources.


The DRDO developed both the Prithvi missile and the interceptor.

2015 mission failed too

In April 2015, a similar mission failed after the interceptor dived into the Bay of Bengal a few seconds after lift off. In that mission, the DRDO planned to conduct the test against an electronic target missile. In April 2014, the warhead in the interceptor failed to explode, although the interception of the incoming “enemy” missile took place at an altitude of 120 km.

Failures are stepping stones to success.

Albeit, unlike Indians, Pakistanis never lose any sleep, however some in India are of opinion that DRDO works for Pakistan.

Bros as per my opinion this is deliberately attempt to hide our achievement to divert world attention from us as modi is visiting usa next month that's y we postpone agni5 last trial launch

 

[Perpendicular]

Well good for pakistan I suppose.
Now PA have option of believing either of the news, failure or success.

On the other hand, India might have made the situation even more complicated for PA.

Agreed, similer strategy not to announce the real range of Agni5 missiles.
Modi is strategy ka baap.

They are,, but they are not NOT success as i have been trying to explain in other threads as well.

There is no shame in admitting a few failures here and there. A development project is bound to have a few snags. What is shameful is how people try to JUSTIFY these failures, even try to GLORIFY them. Being optimistic is one thing but being delusional and boasting is another. Those who say that the test failure is end of the world are only as wrong as the ones who feel that the failures was there greatest achievement and there is not one as good as they are at this.

"An expert in failure" was a sarcastic remark by Jose Mourinho and not some praise!

Okay, you will never know, till the moment arrives. We know what "failure" here means.

So we should believe this "informed source" over DRDO?

I would rather believe the official statement then some "anonymous sources". According to "anonymous sources" moon landing was fake! Osama is alive! and so on and so forth.

Had this mission been a success (which I doubt its not) our Pak friends would have immediately claimed that Umrica and Israil ne Indiq ki help ki hai. But now that the mission ha failed maybe when a successful test take splace later on they would atleast accept that its Indian R&D that succeeded.

Your opinion is very much appreciated but if that was the case, they wouldn't have claimed success in the first place and also keep the past failures in mind.

Fire the missiles on us and get the right source answer
I m proud of drdo
