India on Tuesday successfully test-fired Agni-IV strategic missile for its full strike range of 4,000 km from the Wheeler Island, off the Odisha Coast.

The nuclear weapons capable long range missile in deliverable version was launched for the first time by the Army’s Strategic Forces Command (SFC) around 10.15 am. Carrying a one-tonne dummy warhead, the missile splashed down near its pre-designated target point in the waters of Indian Ocean with high degree of accuracy as two naval ships located nearby recorded the terminal event.

From the start till the end, the trajectory of the missile and its other parameters were tracked and monitored by a network of radar and telemetry stations and electro-optical systems along the East Coast.

The missile’s re-entry vehicle’s heat shield enabled it to withstand searing temperatures of more than 3,000 degrees C when it re-entered the earth’s atmosphere. Highly sophisticated Ring Laser Gyros based navigation system and modern avionics provided reliability in steering the missile to its target point.

The two-stage, solid fuelled Agni-IV along with other missiles in Agni series , would be the mainstay of India’s nuclear deterrence programme.

This was the fourth success in a row for Agni-IV as three previous flight trials carried out by Defence Research and Development Organisation’s missile technologists achieved their respective mission objectives in November 2011, September 2012 and January 2014.

After a few more user trials by SFC personnel, the missile would be inducted into the Army.

Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister Avinash Chander, Top DRDO missile scientists, including Director-General Missiles and Strategic Systems Dr. V,G.Sekaran, project director Tessy Thomas and RCI Director Satheesh Reddy were present.

The Media of India is only Use Worlds, and Your China militery using Force. So Now justify yourself. and yes what about that Me, Me and Me Attitude with all neighbours, and sending su-27 near american fighters, no fly zone on china sea and have to inform..........and blah blah blah.............

I think there is no possible to use such long range missiles, as specifically they are built to drop nukes only, The conventional war is the truth, and nuke war is the dream, so considering that we need more real battle ground weapons in Quality as well as Quantity.

Stop your outright lie. Japan and US has been using the no fly zone nonsense at North Sea since 1964 and we Chinese only introduce this game in 2014. So who start the aggression first?

And Chinese never uses US centric DF-31A or indian centric DF-25 missiles title in any of our news. Inferiority complex is deep in Indians. And let see who is the real aggressor.

It wasn't China, but Nehru who declared 1962 war: Australian journalist Neville Maxwell - TOI Mobile | The Times of India Mobile Site

I just mean to say China never uses such words, they directly use the weapons. You are Interested in War rather such talk. Indian Media say about it, and Your Country Do it not say it. More over Declaring War, and Starting War is different, there might be "TECHNICALY" it is said that India has declare the war, but it war started far more earliar by China. No.of reports send to the Gov.of India or lets say our Peace lover Prime Minister Nehruji, who never accepted any breach of border, There was one file kept "Border File" or some different name, one journalist asked about it and who was replied that, the Militery send the report to the Defence Ministry who did not accept the report and return it, and that file was belongs to that. So The war was started by breaching border lines far more earliars.

the Intention of china were never new to India, war is in 1962 and Great Leader Sardar Patel had wrote letter to Nehruji far earliar, perhaps in 1950. so your intertion was known to us more than 12 yrs. ago.

Again Saying its only China seems having such great level of Agressive ness for the Borders....... with all neighbours. Hans are claiming land of Tibetians and all on which bases, Tibetians were killed by which way to keep tibetians who are different than Hans.

just two days ago, I was bombarded with Indian members calling Pakistani media with accusations that they are the evil ones because they are encouraging nuking India.

Today, India comes out with a title like this on a major news paper that has around 1.3 million copies daily.

Encouraging nuking China, lol, stay classy.

Sensationalist Media
they need to sell the papers so these kinds of Headlines

 

[ptltejas]

haha, pathetic indians. while China compete with your white masters in Olympics and grab the largest amount of golden medal, the whole india with over 1 billion soul are cecebrating their only one pathetic bronze medal, this is the true strength of indians, just like the clown in the pic, whose only purpose is to make your white master laugh.

you even have the shame to boast of sports here, it seemed there is no limits for indian's thickness and delusion.

And when this billion souls send satelite to Mars; the other Billion souls what do. Cry out loud with olymic medals in hands.

This missile id 100% China Centric . Even if one fires the missile in any direction i.e north, south, east, west, pointing upwards, pointing to moon, mars or at the center of galaxy, the missile will strike China....What a headline!!

Where did we encouraged nuking China? Our action in this regards is purely defensive in nature and preparing against any offensive.

 

[Hulk]

great for indians' free media. This give us another reason to hate and despise indians. no mercy for you when we launch invasion.

You start hating countries based on newspaper article?

 

[Hulk]

To my Chinese friends, please do not react to our stupid newspaper reports. Some of them are really low standard reports who primarily focus on making news catchy. They have no intention whatsoever to be correct, whatever gets them most sales is what they will print.

Our consistent stand which we resonate through our policies is that we want to closer to China and Chinese and expect the same in return. We feel that at time China has been bossy and there are some sticky issues which can lead to attack, hence as any nation will do we prepare to fight China if needs comes by, however getting into a war is not something which wish.

 

[SipahSalar]

I thought our media was sensational but india takes the cake. Even Pakistan doesn't call its missiles India-centeric. What a childish headline.
