What about K-X missile which was tested this January...... a SLBM variant of Agni III with range in excess of 4000-4500 km.
I think that would arm Later three Arihant class.... while Agni VI would be placed on Follow on Arihant subs.

Nice thread, Kinetic. Can you please include the CEPs for these missiles? That fact would be a better factor in assessing the maturity of Indian missile technology! Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Executioner]

@Kinetic Bro I have suggestion for thread, Put all new updates in your first post just edited and update it because if anyone come here then he can get all the information from first and it's fastest way otherwise he have to go to the every single thread one by one. And also if you update something just put the marker by showing by any color to particular information has been updated or last updated, So any thing come up new then you can update it. It's just my opinion otherwise if you have better idea then go for it. Cheers.

I posted about K series already, check post no 3. I have put info only those are available. There is no info about SLBM version of Agni-3.

Mate I will try to add that but there are little info about CEP of the Agni missile so I did not add CEP for the Agni series. But added for Brahmos and follow ons.

I also thought about it but I cannot edit the post after two days!!! Thats the problem.

 

[Jon Snow]

Can somebody please add infos of all the bvr missiles India has or is going to get as well. Thnx in advance

 

[Bl[i]tZ]

@Kinetic Great work! Should we also put the ABM systems here as well?

I will add Astra BVR today but pls I want only Indian missiles here.

yeah, I will add all Indian missiles one by one.

good work Kinetic
