The Question of Indian MIRV

So our space program is now based on foreign help ?



Nice try, but.

Re-Entry Vehicle: RV-Mk.4

This is the first Re-Entry Vehicle (RV) that is designed & optimised for the new lighter 200Kt thermonuclear payload weapon and corresponding to a very long range. The 200Kt yield weapon reportedly weights less than 450 Kg, however some sources indicate a mass of between 300 to 200 Kg4. The sharp high‘²’ (Ballistic coefficient5) RV design employs 17 cm diameter blunt nose with a nose cone section 2 meter long and half angle of 11°, followed by a 0.65 meter long cylindrical section that is terminated by with a 0.5 meter long, 1.5 meter diameter interface to the missile adapter.

And you have neither MIRV nor multiple satellite injection demonstrated. Go figure.
This Diagram of alleged Agni-6 is a carbon Copy of trident missile and nothing to do with reality.. Some other Indians post this drawing of Agni-6.

No it isn't. Just a similar design. (look at the stages or lack of aerospike for God's sake)

It's not just that, the alleged Agni-6 Diagram also has the third stage stuck up in the nose cone similar to what it is in Trident.

Also Trident is MIRV with a very sophisticated warhead W-76 which is only 168 Kg and yield of 100 Kt. The diagram allegedly from DRDO also shows a similar Warhead being MIRVd on Indian A-6. That's hogwash.

Are you blind ?

That's some 0.7m dia, same as RV Mk4 on the Agni III/V.

Trident II can carry 8 - 12 W 88 (350 KG) or W 76 (170 KG) war heads. Meaning Trident has a throw-weight around 2 tonnes at a range of 12000 KM. If India goes for a similar design then with a throw weight of 3.2 tonne they can accommodate 4 warheads (800 KG weight with a yield of 200 KT) with an effective range of 5000 KM or so.

Will be fine for a submarine, given India only wants to target Beijing from Bay of Bangal. With this India can target Beijing, Taijin, Shanghai, Chengdu, Hunan, Chongqing, Gangzhaou. With 4-5 SSBN, India can have a very effective detterance against China.

Also, India can deploy another sub group in Arabian Sea with missiles having 3 warheads each but range of 7500 KM or so and can target all of those chinese cities from Arabian sea.

india does not have submarines large enough to be able to fire a 50 ton missile you are proposing.

This thread has quickly descended into brain farts by certain nationality

How do you know about the dimensions of S-4/S-5 SSBN? The SLBM is not an Agni V based design BTW

as opposed to your intelligent comments.

Arihant size Subs cannot carry or fire a 50 tonner Missile without taring themselves apart. Simple physics.
Also the K-4 you are hinting about is not MIRV. Dimensions are too small for that. It will carry a single Agni-5 warhead.

S-4/S-5 are next generation follow on subs with displacement> 10,000 tonnes.
Of whom even the keel hasnt been laid yet? and even when the project starts , i will take many years to build. But Indians behave as if they already have MIRV carrying Ballistic missiles under the sea.
