A new colour scheme for the Agni missiles.

Yeah it will be canisterised....Its possible that for the first test they are not using canister...

Though the first launch would be from a static harness at the Island, Agni V would have tremendous road mobility once it is fully developed. These include a canister launch which means that it gives India "stop and launch" capability from any part of the country. "Once we successfully test Agni V we would have broken the barrier of long range ballistic missile systems,'' says Saraswat.

No MIRV.Disappointed.

 

[Markus]

The article mentions the payload as 1.5 tons and able to carry multiple warheads.

So its MIRV'd, unless the article writer dosent know what he is talking abt.

It is mentioned in the article it will be MIRV. The first test may be with single warhead but later they will add MIRV. \



All the best DRDO and India.

U can not predict size of anything by photo only. If u take photo of coin nearly it might look big and with distance small.
The sun or moon size is same whether on top or near xitiz(border of earth and sea) its alpear big. However fact is that the size is same only due to comparison its size appears.

The blue part? I think it extends further down.

Here is what Minuteman looks like.

Peacekeeper.

These pictures give an idea what missile carrying mirv's looks like.


DF-31... claimed to be able carry three warheads, but it's not sure if it really can.

I think MIRV will come in later phase of testing. Good luck DRDO

 

[GR!FF!N]

best of luck for DRDO and for indians in PDF too..if it fails,we are going to face a lot of bashing my friends..

by the way..dont worry about MIRV..it'll be developed in later phase..

and those who are worrying about Canister launch...please look at the bottom of the pic,you'll see no "Fin".that means it is going to be a canisterised missile.

I don't know much about this but according to rediff.

Another major technological breakthrough that will beef up the Agni-5 is ASL's success in developing and testing MIRVs (multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles). An MIRV, atop an Agni-5 missile, comprises three to 10 separate nuclear warheads. Each warhead can be assigned to a separate target, separated by hundreds of kilometres; alternatively, two or more warheads can be assigned to one target

10 nuke warhead maybe be too much..3 is a possibility...At least they should test MIRV.

What are we here for

failure and success are part n parcel of R&D. either would provide a boatload of data for our scientists. good luck to DRDO
