Dude, look at picture of DF-3A, it is more mammoth than Agni 5.
Earlier rocket technology were inefficient.
that's why DF-3A is replaced by DF 21.
I add proviso: No single stage modern missile can have such a range.:D
Every forces has own classification of Missile .
Russia don't call their IRBM as IRBM but MRBM.
But USA has two separate classification. IRBM and MRBM.
The DF-3A is a Chinese liquid-fueled, single-stage, medium-range nuclear ballistic missile that entered service in 1971. DF-3A is the oldest missile in China's inventory and is nearing retirement after four decades of service
DF 3A is missile of 60's-70's. When rocket technology of China was...
It is single stage solid fuelled rocket.
See your self video posted on Dawn news site.
Hold your horses mate !
Do you any anti-ship missile developed ? then come to me with carrier killer missile.
India always test missile in the sea. By your logic India already has killer missiles from 90's.
OMG ! Single stage rocket having 4000km range.:D
Some people don't use their head at all .
another try : Do you see your media is going Gaga over it , as it was in 1998 ?
Who said that ... Shaheen 1 A has 4000-4500Km range ?? Do you ever heard a single stage missile to have such range.
Shaheen 2 is two stage but range is 2500km.
If single stage Shaheen 1A can attain range of 4000km and Shaheen 2 (Two stage) have range of 2500.
Then it mean , shaheen 2 is a complete waste !!:D (but in my opinion Shaheen 2 is a pretty good missle)
Confusion is created by PK and Gen. Talat masood, Every news paper quoting him as...
Uncle Sam has watched transfer of technology with patience because IRBM or short range are not concern for USA or his pet Israel.
But ICBM will threaten both USA's Base and Israel , So uncle Sam will not keep quite in this case :P
Cool mate!, 750 km means it threaten both Delhi and Mumbai.What India will do , will be concern of Indian not for Shaheen 1A.
Please stick to the topic .
ICBM is a different beast altogether. It have re-entry technology and Guidance systems.
At very high speed, temperature of missile reaches 3000 to 4000 Degree centigrade.
Normal missile can not withstand such a high temperature, That's why need Heat shields and Composite materials.
:taz:
Thank god , It is single stage Shaheen 1 test ..
If it would have been double stage shaheen 2 then speculators would have streched it's range near 4000 or even 5000 km !! :D
