Probably to travel from India to Shanghai via London! Surprise and deception, you know!!There is some confusion here, some one knowledged could clear this Agni V was already stated to be capable of carrying MIRV and road mobile. Why go for just a 1000 km increase ??
This is too heavy. Compare with DF-31 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agni 5 is MIRV or not ??
Never trust communists. Are you sure the data given in wiki is right about DF-31, Are you sure even if it exists??? better not discuss or compare anything with china..
Yes if you want to compare it compare with some western missiles.
Hmm, you make a good point. But given the proximity of Pakistan to India (duh), won't it make sense for us to target Pakistani missiles right at the boost stage? That way we can completely negate the value of MIRV and other ABM defenses.
Knowledgeable junta - please opine.
Boost-phase defense
As of boost-phase interceptions, these would be desired as an initial layer of defense. It is the only layer that can cost-effectively destroy MIRV missiles.
Currently only Aegis has a possible boost-phase capability, butin case of SM2it needs to be within 40 km of a launch point. This is acceptable for SLBMs, but not likely for land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
Boost-phase defense against solid-fueled ICBMs
Boost-phase defense is significantly harder against the current solid-fueled ICBMs, because their boost phase is shorter. Current solid-fueled ICBMs include Russian Topol, and Chinese DF-31 and DF-41, along the US Minuteman and Trident.
There is no theoretical perspective for economically viable boost-phase defense against the latest solid-fueled ICBMs, no matter if it would be ground-based missiles, space-based missiles, or airborne laser (ABL).
Boost-phase defense against older ICBMs
A ground-based boost-phase defense might be possible, if goals were somewhat limited: to counter older liquid-fuel propelled ICBMs, and counter simple solid-propellant missiles launched from "easier" locations (such as North Korea).
The airborne laser (ABL) is possibly capable of intercepting a liquid fuel missile if within 600 km from a launch point.

^^ see post no. 3
Great info.
So A 6 will be Rail mobile, but according to a recent news all Agnis will be road mobile.
That news is either wrong or is the case of misinformation(purposefully).
Anything more than 55 Tonnes will not be rail mobile for sure..
No, I didn't say WILL, I said CAN.
Explain and document statement?
I know mate, but what i wanted to highlight is the point that there is very little even an advanced ABM can do against MIRV.
I hope you maintain your position after Pakistan introduces MIRVs too. (no trolling intended)
