make sure before making New thread you dnt have credible souce the guy saying it will test fire at 2008 and inducted by 2015 but look now it is 2010 scientist only taking about Agni-V which range around 5000.

At that time it was reported that the ICBM was likely to be test-fired by 2008, and was expected to be added to the Indian armed forces' deterrence arsenal by 2015.

Surya ICBM never existed. It was just media hype specially western. DRDO chiefs and defence ministers clarified that Agni-5 is the first 'true' ICBM India developing.

India is likely to enter the elite club of nations with Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) capability as the over 5,000 km range Agni-5 missile was expected to become a reality by next year.

“Work is progressing satisfactorily in the development of Agni-5, which is expected to become a reality next year. With this, DRDO would have given India a comprehensive indigenous strategic capability, available with only a few nations of the world,” DRDO chief V.K. Saraswat said at the National Technology Day awards function.

Agni-5 will be the first canistered ballistic missile with range of over 5,000 km into Indian inventory, bringing possible military targets in the whole of China and Pakistan within striking range. The missile is likely to be tested early next year.

Missiles which are capable of being launched from canisters can be fired from multiple platforms and are easily transportable.

Commenting on the Indian missile programme, Mr. Saraswat said, “the success of Agni-3 and other tests have confirmed India’s strategic deterrence capability, which could not have been possible without the preceding developmental efforts in these programmes.”

Ya I know it is two years old news, but am not sure it is inducted in Army.

IIRC it was scheduled for "FINAL" (as if there is any) trials this MAY.

a source would do wonders to your post.

 

[Dark Angel]

Its true they would be tested by march 2011

Here you go: The Hindu : Sci-Tech / Science : ICBM to be a reality by next year: Saraswat

I feel Agni 5 could provoke an arms race between the India and Pakistan, which have already gone to war three times over the last six decades. There are also lingering border issues between China and India.

China’s Dong Feng-31 and DF-41 could strike at a distance of 6,000 to 8,000 km. Where as pakistan has Shaheen-II and planning for Ghauri-III (3,500 KM) and Shaheen-III (4500 KM).
