Featured India test-fires 10 missiles in 35 days. It is not a coincidence

[FairAndUnbiased]

Indians are scared and seriously rattled by the prospect of facing a country that is the same size as it.

They are rattled by the consequences of their actions...

Really really rattled..

Not the same size. 5x bigger.

Another test is coming up. what they are up to?

DRDO is all set to conduct the maiden trial of its Indigenous Technology Cruise Missile Nirbhay with short turbofan engine and an advanced radio frequency seeker from a defence test facility off the Odisha coast on Monday.

IAF cannot compete with the PLAAF. IAF will get slaughtered and the higher ups in India know that. That is why they want "options" to conduct strikes that will be difficult to intercept. That is where cruise missiles come into it... harder to detect and intercept..

Looks like our scientists have nothing new to test otherwise they would have used the opportunity.

or they are waiting them to finish first....

or they are waiting them to finish first....

I don't think so - if there was any plan they would have issued NOTAM by now.

Once they have mighty supersonic BrahMos then why are they interested in testing a shitty subsonic Nirbhay.

10 missiles in 35 days. hmmm

and in a live fire drill over two days, China supposedly launched 3000 missiles. WTF???!!! 3000 missiles in a 2 day practice drill. omg

PLA ‘sends warning’ to US Navy with live-fire drills in South China Sea

Military expert says China was sending a message to US over its recent activities in the area.

Its not that we wait for them. to test something and we test our weapons.

So, Just wait... Pakistan can go to any length to counter India.

 

[no smoking]

but then why is China giving India so much time to prepare? Same with Taiwan. Why not hit them unprepared?
A surprise invasion.

Because China believes that time is on her side and she is very confident about India's speed.

 

[Chhatrapati]

I am surprised why India wastes money on its indigenous defense programmes ,when most of its hardware,ammunition and missiles are UNWORTHY and UNRELIABLE.

There is only one country in the world that has never failed in any missile tests. Guess which one

The DRDO’s effort to fast-track development of ‘Made in India’ strategic nuclear and conventional missiles comes against the backdrop of China’s refusal to step back from the LAC.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation will early next week fire the 800 km range Nirbhay sub-sonic cruise missile, the last for the solid rocket booster missile before its formal induction into the army and the navy, people familiar with the development told Hindustan Times. It would be the tenth missile test-firing by India’s lead defence research organisation in the last 35 days.

The DRDO’s effort to fast-track development of ‘Made in India’ strategic nuclear and conventional missiles - it has fired a missile every four days over nearly a month - comes against the backdrop of China’s refusal to step back from the Line of Actual Control.

The stand-off escalated into a bloody clash in June that killed soldiers on both sides. It was the first time that the two countries had lost soldiers on this border in four decades. A little less than two months later, shots were also fired when Indian soldiers occupied the heights on the north bank of the picturesque salt water lake spread across 700 square km.

China’s People’s Liberation Army had first clashed with Indian soldiers on the northern bank of Ladakh’s Pangong Tso lake on May 5 this year, setting up a stand-off that rapidly expanded to four locations in East Ladakh.


The two countries have held numerous rounds of negotiations at the level of diplomats, military officials and ministers; another round is scheduled on Monday. But China has been reluctant to go back to the positions it held before stepping up tensions.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has held up Chinese president Xi Jinping’s aggression on the border with India as an example of the Chinese communist party’s “bad behaviour”. The US estimates China has mobilised about 60,000 troops in depth locations across Ladakh.

The DRDO was quietly told to fast-track its missile programme in the early part of the standoff because the Indian government had doubts about China’s commitment to peace on the border, a missile expert associated with the projects said.

The Hypersonic Technology Demonstrator Vehicle (HSTDV) was the first one to be fired on 7 September. Over the next four weeks or do, the DRDO has test-fired the extended-range version of the supersonic cruise missile BrahMos that can blow up targets 400 km away, the nuclear-capable Shaurya supersonic missiles that can travel at twice to thrice the speed of sound; and the supersonic missile assisted release of the torpedo that targets submarines apart from test-firing the laser-guided anti-tank guided missile just 10 days apart.

In between, the DRDO also carried out a night trial of the nuclear-capable ballistic missile Prithvi-II, the surface-to-surface missile capable of attacking targets at a range of 300 km. It is India’s first indigenous surface-to-surface strategic missile.

The expedited development and testing has made it possible to deploy the terrain-hugging subsonic Nirbhay missile along the Ladakh border in limited numbers.

“The Shaurya missile would be next,” an official said about the new-age weapon that can carry a nuclear warhead weighing around 200 kg and flies at 2.4 km per second. The government has cleared its induction into the military. The Indian Strategic Forces Command will decide locations of its deployment under guidance from the National Security Council.

A chicken doing a chicken dance after it was humilated

Lacking the balls and courage to declare war or fight back this is a puffed up display to reassure the idiotic public and try to warn off China


Obvious really
