India's new mini launch vehicle SSLV

[Kinetic]

Looks like a huge ICBM. Launch on demand.

‘Time ripe for ISRO, DRDO to collaborate’

 

[Skull and Bones]

Looks like a shadow mask to test ASAT platform.

There's no masking that program. It's out in the open.

we launched 104 satellites at the same time and we don not proven MARV on Agni till now. Is it stupidity or or our losers in Delhi and Bangalore do not understand basics of collaboration and reducing cost?

You probably meant MIRVs.
The MIRV problem itself is not a big deal for DRDO, its the implementation that needs to be feasible and effective, which is why Agni-VI is being developed.
Thats why they didn't even try with Agni-III (the only existing platform having the payload volume and throwaway weight for delivering MIRVs). Agni-IV & V don't even count because of the volume and payload restriction.

Agni-V said to have 2000 kg payload according to other sources. that is enough for three Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle (MARV) easily with our standard 200 kt hydrogen bomb.

DRDO should have done it before ISRO, they have much more resources and same industry and academia supports. If not done already and kept secret. Russia/US always develop first for miliatry then divert to civilian works.

Nope, Agni-V delivers a 1050kg unitary payload (according to a DRDO presentation). In its present configuration, the conical third stage doesn't allows for a wide enough MIRV-bus. Hence the payload + volume constraints.

This presentation is very old (from 2009, Dr Saraswat presented at IIT Bombay) and inaccurate. After that 8 years have passed and they did not reveal a single picture for last three years tests. They were waiting for MTCR and NSG. Agni-5 has moved on after that presentation.

Of course its inaccurate and obviously they continuously change the missile configuration because it makes absolute sense to conduct pre-induction trial of a new prototype.

Agni VI is MIRV ( multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle ) capable being developed .

And your point is?

 

[ramu]

Why not get together and build reusable launch vehicles? Dr. APJ always dreamt of this

 

[Śakra]

And your point is?

Why don’t those MIRVs carry doves instead of bombs?

Why don’t those MIRVs carry doves instead of bombs?

Because its cruel to suffocate innocent doves outside the atmosphere, and then burn their bodies upon re-entry.
