Both are same, Agni 5

[Ajaxpaul]

This missile is the most publicized till now...more than ISRO launch...maybe less than GSLV launch.

 

[Screambowl]

which one is which?

the below one with orange neck is agni 3 i think .. but not sure.

 

[karan.1970]

I am 90% sure this will fail.. Mostly something so anticipated is never a smooth ride

5500 kms in 20 mins...Awesome !!

If only such technology be used for travel instead of war

If the test fails, the chinese and pakistanis are going to have a ball today

O! Koi Nahi.. Girte hain sheh sawaar hi maidane jang mein.. Woh tifl kya giren jo ghutno ke bal chale (this is my version of anticipatory bail, in case the test fails today )

Doesn't matter. What matter is they not give up and make it a sucess in subsequent launches.

I think this one was taken before the final coat of paint was put on. Must be atleast a week old photo.

looks like paint job is done after missiles loaded on launcher ?

This missile has got nothing to do with Pakistan.

Starting Agni III, all our missile friends are to convey our deepest sense of respect for our panda friends up north.

Agni III (range - 3500 km) is a rail launched version and would have to be put near Chinese border to hit the major Chinese cities..


Agni V (range - 5500 km) is a canister launched road mobile missile. This can be stored for longer duration and gives India the abiity to hit all of China from relatively farther launch points from Chinese border.

Former one seems to be with MIRV heads and second one with single one. Both are A-5!!!

...
The three-stage, solid propelled missile was taken to the launch pad in the early morning to conduct range readiness checks. It was later shifted to another shelter and the vehicle will be brought back to the launch pad a few hours before the launch.

The Flight Readiness Review meeting and Launch Authorisation Board are scheduled to meet later in the day to give the final nod for the launch of the missile at around 19.00 hrs.

Guys, its only after seven hours the nod will be given. I'm off to sleep, I thought I'd keep awake till this is test fired (2:36 am here). See ya!
