Indian Agni V veered off-course?

We in BD always harbor this looming fear. Projectiles meant for China or Pakistan could land on us!!

Just as INDEPENDENCE/FREEDOM meant for somebody else landed on you?

Bangladesh military and politics, mostly under BAL, is a sad joke. Bangladesh does not even have any modern fighter aircrafts, AEW, aerial refuelling, spy satellites, or submarines, forget about WMD like bio, chem, nuclear programmes or aircraft carriers. So long as Bangladeshi people immerse themselves in the backward environs of Hindutva radicalism emanating from three sides from its 'neighbour', Bangladesh would achieve nothing commensurate with its population size.

That's understandable. That's called 'Fear of the unkown', and is a basic human trait. People tend to have irrational fears about something they have never seen before. Like a child is afraid of something when he sees it for the first time, like a person who has lived in the jungles all his life would be terrified by human-made things when he first sees them, people who have never made or handled or used missiles will have irrational fears like this. With familiarity, such fears go away. Unfortunately, some people don't have an opportunity to familiarise themselves with the workings of missiles, and can't learn anything about them, so they will live in fear all their lives.

I don't know what will happen, the day SC will be banned. PDF will be so tasteless.

MODS pls never ban this chubby P@/\/d/\.

 

[shuttler]

any footage showing if it hits the target?

 

[Abingdonboy]

Guys until I hear an official comment from SFC/DRDO- the ones who ACTUALLY KNOW THE INTENDED FLIGHT PATH- I'm not going to jump to any conclusions.


+ btw an incompetent cameraman is NOT proof!!

India launches New Generation Strategic Missile AGNI-V
Setting a new milestone in the country’s Integrated Missile Development Programme, India’s maiden Long Range Ballistic Missile (LRBM) AGNI-V (A-5) was successfully flight tested today.

The flawless auto-launch of the missile started at 08:04 hours. Piercing the thin cloud cover, the missile took off from the launch pad at Wheeler’s Island in Odisha at 08:07 hours and started rising exactly the way it was designed for. The missile, with a range of more than 5000 kms, followed the entire trajectory in copybook style perfection as the three stages of Propulsion dropped and fell at appropriate intervals into the Bay of Bengal. The three propulsion stages, developed completely indigenously by DRDO, performed exactly the way they were intended to. The indigenously developed Composite Rocket Motors performed well, signifying the country’s stride and complete self-reliance in this complex propulsion technology.

Ships located in midrange and at the target point tracked the Vehicle and witnessed the final event. Radars and electro-optical systems along the path monitored in real time all the parameters of the Missile.

A number of new technologies developed indigenously were successfully tested in this A-5 Mission. The redundant Navigation systems, very high accuracy Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System (RINS) and the most modern and accurate Micro Navigation System (MINS) ensured the Missile reach the target point within few meters of accuracy. The high speed onboard computer and fault tolerant software along with robust and reliable bus guided the Missile flawlessly.

The Vice-President Shri M. Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh, Defence Minister Shri AK Antony and National Security Advisor (NSA) Shri Shiv Shankar Menon have hailed the launch of the Agni-V. Dr Singh and Shri Antony spoke to DRDO chief Dr VK Saraswat and Programme Director Shri Avinash Chander and greeted the DRDO Scientists on the A-5 success. Air Marshal K.J. Mathews, Commander-in-Chief, Strategic Forces Command (C-in-C, SFC), who witnessed the launch, said that the success of Agni-V is a historic event for India. Dr V.G. Sekaran, Director, Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL), Dr S.K. Chaudhari, Director, Research Centre IMARAT (RCI), Shri A.K. Chakrabarti, Director, Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL), Shri S.P. Dash, Director, Interim Test Range (ITR), Shri Guruprasad, Director, Research & Development Engineers (R&DE Engineers, Pune) were present during the launch operations. Shri R.K. Gupta, Project Director guided the team of Scientists and employees of DRDO during the launch activities.

But you can tell the missile is going perpendicular to the camera because you can see the missile body from a 90 degree sideway view at 1:08. There is no way that could possibly happen unless the missile was actually losing altitude at 1:08 into the flight!

indians are full of BS. In fact, layers of BS upon layers of BS. First off, they claimed it was a solid fuel motor, but in fact it's obviously a liquid fuel. It goes straight up just like a space rocket, it doesn't do spiral maneuveres like a modern solid fuel rocket.

Do you have any idea what ballistic in ballistic missile means???

Saraswat and Avinash Chander of DRDO have already commented.

 

[Screambowl]

Review the videos closely. At about 30 seconds, the cameraman points the camera at a point in the sky, but the missile doesn't go to that point, instead the missile unexpectedly takes a turn toward the ground, and you can see the cameraman get confused "why is the missile going down instead of up."

And you can see the missile is no longer flying away from the camera from 45 seconds onwards. Instead it is moving perpendicular toward the ground.

next time we will hire you to record our mirved agni 5 launch, don't worry we will give you 2 dollars for that. so that the CAMERA REMAINS STATIONARY AFTER 30 Sec. .. looool

if it hits the target "within few meters of accuracy" where is the video showing it hits the target "within a few meters"?

also about the indigenous part. Does any russian part play a role in the launch?

Target Hit for Ballistic missile highly confidential so it never released
