Hi shaheen! Since I am not an expert in warhead design, I will refrain from commenting on either Indian or Pakistan warhead design. But considering the fact that India has been working on plutonium based designs for more than 4-5 decades now, I see no reason why the design...

HI @The Deterrent Your remarks about A-5 are spot on. Dont mind the fan-boys though. The reason why I am writing this comment is simply because I believe MIRVs werent tested on the very first flight of ababeel. In all likelyhood, since it was the first pakistani...

Hi Shaheen! I read this report couple of days back and I think it is not very accurate and one must not really pay much heed to it. We must understand that reports like these-- which try to determine the number of warheads, launchers or perhaps deployment are based on open source information and...

Hi shaheen! There is no doubt you managed to pull out a very old launch video with telemetry tracking of Agni-3. A lot of things have changed in past 6-7 years. If you're so interested in comparison, Let me point a few things for you- 1) Agni-3 was infact graduation step for DRDO, they managed...

Hi @Shaheen! It is often advisable to first go through plethora of published scientific literature before writing comments because a lot of people actually read comments and they would end up getting wrong information. Let me point out some specifics- 1) The launch weight ratio or the useful...

Hi @Narendra Trump I cant view the original video, but there are various factual inaccuracies and I will try to correct them, but as I can see, @The Deterrent has done most of the job. 1) The white smoke trail you see is actually due to pressure difference, as...

Hi @The Deterrent You're right, on both counts, The rate of progress on Indian nuclear navy is slow and that is understandable because India is not only doing it for the first time, it has to factor in possible accidents etc. Readying a class of nuclear boats for...

Hi @The Deterrent There is no doubt that I disagree with you on certain issues, particularly those involving R&D, but I must say I find your views among one of the most saner ones from Pakistan. There is no doubt that Pakistan actually needs higher number of...

Who is this legend btw?

Hi @Shaheen! The report by Atomic Bulletin is based on open source literature and extrapolations based on their analysis. Out of all the missiles mentioned above, only A-5 and K-4 are not in service, whereas A-4 and K-15 have already entered production phase. And to be honest, I would not lend...

Hi! I do not think it is a K-4 motor because the motor on the load cell appeared to be a 2m dia rocket. Also the development work on K-4 is long over and it is undergoing user-trials. They test only new or under development motors on a load cell, and since the develoment work on K-4 is over...

K-5 is a 2m dia rocket, it is not a 1.5m dia as you've been led to believe

Hi shaheen, What you've read is the same news on multiple forums or news media. And besides it is almost a 1-1.5 year news which resulted in the postponing of a particular flight trial of A5. With that said, that particular batter has been replaced, rest assured. Also there wasnt ever an issue...

Hi @Shaheen missile! Agni-3 was indeed a TD which paved the way for A-5. Also A-4 is in limited production and has been inducted into the forces. A-5 has cleared development trials and is nearing the end of user trials after which it will be properly inducted into India's SFC. It is a different...

Man that things fires like an arty! They need to dratically re-design the muzzle brake!

@CriticalThought I love the way he thinks, Pakistan is at par with India. I really do! Of course I'm troll baiting-- why? Because I said something which you folks have difficulty accepting? I don't know which university you're in, but I'm sure if you care to look hard, you'll find a DECENT...

Hi @CriticalThought ! I do not think anyone is comparing Indian kids with Pakistani kids. I do not understand the logic behind posting this thread in a defence forum, I mean this is a defence forum and should remain so. As for the level of competition, let me assure you that the level of...

You see, I'm merely interested in technical discussions. The inefficiency or not emerges out of those discussions. And just because I staunchly ask for proofs and literature, doesn't mean, I'm denigrating Pakistani efforts, why don't you understand, what India and Pakistan are doing is nothing...

Even I doubt if it is a 2m dia. Maybe we would have to put shaheen missile's expertise to test! But this is definitely a SLBM. Hi @The Deterrent Also if you notice carefully, the divergence losses in this missile is of lower than Agni signifying perhaps bell-nozzle or Rao-nozzle. What is your...

@The Deterrent They are actually developing ester based solid propellants similar to the ones used on Trident. I dont know the in-depth details as I am not into propulsions. Also this last pic is from DRDO load cell and clearly seems to be of K-5 SLBM. It looks more like SLBM than any surface...
