Agni V Discussions

[Omega007]

C’mon, we Chinese are just peace loving people , don’t make us look as bad guy.



Since you drag China in to this..., I deserve to have a little modest comment on this thread. As I said before your Indo-genious Agni-5 is just over-rated. Regardless how your media brag is as “China-killer” or “China centric LMAO missle), India just can't take credit of all the glory and success for themself: if one seriously makes assessment on this missile, we will find a laugh stock of foreign components

Seeker from Russia : so obvious
Guidance are from Israel : no doubt about it
Sensor form Germany: don’t blame on Germany for faulty cable again as your SAT launcher
Engine from Russia: undeniable
Resistor, transistors are made in China: lol... from “copy + past” country

The only credit India can claim as achievement is to send a bunch of Indians to saturate PDF to brag and defend Agni-5t from incoming storm and shower of Chineses and Pakistani friend.

Yes..please send more of indians cheer leader team into PDF to defend your famously foreign-components Agni-5...you will need them big time...LMAO

Since it's obvious that your only intention is to troll,I will not try to explain all the BS you posted Mr Kiss of the Dragon or Ar** of the Domkey or what so ever.PLEASE continue to entertain us joker.

When Long Range Ballistic Missile (LRBM) Agni-V took to the skies off Odisha coast on April 19, over 60 scientists of city’s Research and Development Establishment (Engineers) or R&DE, held their breath and watched in rapt attention. If well begun is considered half done even in the case of rocket science, the team of scientists at R&DE ensured that’s how it was for India’s strategic nuclear deterrent. The missile launcher to hold, position and gracefully fire the 50-ton missile has been developed by the Agni Group of R&DE, a DRDO lab in the city. In an exclusive interaction with Newsline, Dr S Guruprasad, director R&DE spoke about what the success of the test means for the laboratory.

“This is a morale booster for the team of engineers associated with the Agni-V launcher. Over 60-70 scientists have been working on various aspects of the launcher such as dynamics, simulation, testing, trial of individual components and systems, besides other nuances. The entire process has been a great learning,” said Guruprasad.

Development of missile launchers has not been new for the scientists at R&DE. The laboratory has been associated with India’s Integrated Guided Missile Development Plan (IMGDP) since the early 80s.Under IMGDP, the laboratory has successfully developed the launcher systems for Prithvi class of missiles, Akash surface-to-air missile, Nirbhay and BrahMos to name a few. The Agni Group at R&DE specialises in the development of launchers for Agni class of missiles. “The critical aspect of any missile launcher system is that it should maintain the safety of the costly unit and those operating it. It is expected to accurately position the missile, hold it in that position and facilitate a graceful take-off,” said Guruprasad. “The core group of 15 scientists at R&DE has been conducting tests using dummy missile.”

... contd.

Guruprasad, who returned from the test location on Monday, can’t help mentioning a few ‘mathematical aspects’ of the launcher. “It is an improvised version of the Agni-III missile launcher we had developed. Given that Agni-V weighs 50 tons, the thrust developed to lift it has to be more than its mass multiplied by the gravitational force. The launcher was thus made using high-strength steel which is capable of sustaining that force. A special jet deflector was used to deflect the high-temperature fumes. The automatic controls release the missile once it is lifted. This is where the job of the launcher ends. Being a fire-and-forget missile, the on-board computer system then guides the missile and directs the force so that the missile moves in a particular trajectory,” he said.

What a BS.... Seeker for Ballistic Missile?

New news Pakistan will test another missile.. in response to Agni-V
Look for it from 4/24-4/30 2012

Regards, Pak47.

well done missile name?? Long live common man !!! Arms race has begun schumacher vs Alonso

Good to see you bro.
By the way,it's not a BS.There are indeed certain kind of SAR seekers for terminal guidance along with GPS/GLONASS are used onboard RVs of BMs.Our Agni III,IV,V-all have this onboard their RVs.This technique is called Terminal Radar Scene Correlation.

Beijing: Continuing its tirade against the successful launch of Agni V, Chinese state media accused India of buckling under the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) pressure to cut down the missile's range from 9,000 kilometres to 5,000 kilometres.

The state-run Global Times which derided the missile even before it was launched saying that Chinese nuclear power is "stronger and more reliable and India had no chance" to catch up, said today, in yet another scathing write-up, that "India has little to celebrate" as China has raced ahead and outclassed India in development.

"The Manmohan Singh government, because of pressure from the NATO member countries, has kept a slow pace with their Integrated Guided Missile Programme (IGMP). "The Agni V is deemed to be in its final stage, whereas in fact the IGMP ought to have progressed to develop a range of 9,000 kilometres," it said in the write-up posted on its web edition.

'Give and take' necessary to solve Indo-China border dispute: Ex-Army Chief
Commenting on Sino-India relations, the paper pointed to an international effort to portray India and China as enemies and said the two countries need to make bridges of friendship that would fail such an effort.

"Although there is an international effort to paint India and China as enemies and to make the two countries go to war with each other, such an effort will fail. The Chinese and Indian people share a long history and culture, and what is needed is more discussion between the two about their economics, education, tourism and culture. We must create so many bridges of friendship that the plans of other countries to make China and India into enemies will fail," it said.

The paper said India and China can together make the Asian continent strong but if divided "all of Asia will remain weak". The paper said the celebrations over the missile "conceal the inadequacies and slow pace" of the programme, and "hide the fact that successive Indian governments have capitulated
to pressure from NATO to restrict the range and power of their launch vehicles", it said.

It said India was embarrassingly behind China in its space programme and also faced a huge vulnerability as over 80 per cent of its critical weapons systems are imported from France, the US, Russia and Israel. "If these countries cut off supplies or ammunition during a conflict, India would be helpless," it said.

Who cares?

Agni 5 with 5000 kms can still hit the whole of China.

Chinese are still to come to terms that Agni V is specifically dedicated to them..

This is very likely. Look at the circle covered by the Agni V and how "conveniently" it stop just short of the major European cities that really "matter."

I would be very surprised if in reality the true range of Agni V is unable to cover the whole of mainland Europe AND the whole of the UK.

 

[Devianz]

It's in the weight class of most ICBMs and no one claim it belongs to older generation (after A4 test) and hence short range for it's huge mass. We did test A2P/A4 with 4000 KMs range and it weighed a mere 17 ton. So the A5 with 50+ ton mass, well you guys do the math. It should do 8000-10000 KMs with full payload and more with reduced ones, it seems logical though I'm not an expert in these matters. Any experts here?

How does this work? The RV warhead when re-entering the atmosphere will be surrounded by super-hot plasma, which block radio waves. How can RADAR work in such a situation?

Isn't Radar Scene Correlation usually used in sub-sonic cruise missiles like Tomahawk..!!!

^^`^^^ very good point. More ever weight of agni 3 is 48 tonnes and it does not leave the earths atmosphere hence the huge weight. agni 4, i think, was actually a tech demonstrator for agni 5. It travels out of the earths atmosphere and hence can travel long distance with lesser fuel as there is no friction in space. Agni 4 weights 17 tonnes according to wiki. If that is true a 50 ton missile should have a much higher range.

not exactly a tech demonstrator.. but sometimes back u must have heard DRDO claiming to have come up with chromium alloy which can reduce drag by almost half .. thereby increasing the range significantly... IMO all those things were actually incorporated alongwith the composites to reduce weight etc..
