India's nuclear arsenal failed by 'dud' missiles

[timetravel]

Just a correction !

Indians didn't invent "0" , the concept zero existed in other civilizations like Mayan and Chinese, Greek.

However Mathematical properties of 0 i.e 0+0 = 0, 0*0 = 0 etc were defined by an ancient Indian Mathematician, which allowed proper usage of 0 in Maths.

Of course, the Jamati poont cannot be expected to comprehend all of this.

you are wrong. it is the Indians who invented the zero.

Dr. Abdus Salam had nothing to do with Pakistan's Nuclear WEAPONS Program, nor its Ballistic Missiles.

He just gave entire credit of Indian Space Research to US coz Us trained Indian engineers in field operation.....

By that logic entire credit of theory relativity lies with einsteins primary school maths teacher and not einstein
'The United States was followed by others. Between 1963 and 1975, more than 350 U.S., French, Soviet, and British sounding rockets were launched from India's Thumba Range, which the United States helped design. Thumba's first group of Indian engineers had learned rocket launching and range operation in the United States.'

you must be kidding right?
Remember what happened in the Sino-indian war (1962)
btw china is on the way to become a superpower you are nothing infront of it
not to forget NOW it serves as an ally of "PAKISTAN"
"LIVE LONG PAKISTAN"

Would that in any way reduce their effectiveness? Its the "end" that matters, not the "means" to that end.

Best thing about this lame article is that all Pak missiles which they proudly proclaim are self made are infact Chinese supplied.
The article may have called Indian missile dud but these guys have atleast not called them Russian supplied.

 

[HariPrasad]

This is a very old article.

 

[HariPrasad]

Well.....just IMPORT more missiles from Russia!

No Here we beg to differ with China.

Dhol ka Pol for the Super Power Republic of India.

Calm down guy we created Bangladesh in 71. We had a strength of creating country like yours forty years back.

article is old and considered that Agni-2 and Agni-3 were not even operational. Now all Agni-1, 2, 3 are operational in good numbers(atleast 40-60 Agni-2 and 20-30 Agni-3). While Agni-4 and Agni-5 are about to be operational.

Indian nukes and missiles are no more indigenous than Pak nukes and missiles missiles.

APJ Abul Kalam is credited with designing India's first satellite launcher SLV3. Its design is virtually identical to the American Scout rocket used in the 1960s. According to the details published in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, Abul Kalam spent four months in training in the United States in 1963-1964. He visited NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia, where the U.S. Scout rocket was conceived, and the Wallops Island Flight Center on the Virginia coast, where the Scout was being flown. Soon after Abul Kalam's visit, India requested and received detailed technical reports on the Scout's design, which was unclassified.



US Scout and India's SLV3 are both 23 meters long, use four similar solid-fuel stages and "open loop" guidance, and lift a 40-kilogram payload into low earth orbit. The SLV's 30-foot first stage later became the first stage of the Agni.

The United States was followed by others. Between 1963 and 1975, more than 350 U.S., French, Soviet, and British sounding rockets were launched from India's Thumba Range, which the United States helped design. Thumba's first group of Indian engineers had learned rocket launching and range operation in the United States.

India's other missile, the "Prithvi" (earth), which uses a liquid-propelled motor to carry a one-ton payload 150 miles, resembles the widely sold Soviet Scud-B. Indian sources say that the Agni's second stage is a shortened version of the Prithvi, according to Gary Milhollin of the Wisconsin Project.

India's nuclear program would not have advanced without a lot of help from Canadians that resulted in Indian copies of Canadian reactors to produce plutonium for its nuclear bombs.

India conducted its first atomic bomb test in 1974. Indians used 40 MW Canadian Cirus reactor and U.S. heavy water both imported under guarantees of peaceful use and used them openly to make plutonium for its 1974 nuclear blast.

In 1972, Canadian-built 100 MWe Rajasthan-1 nuclear power reactor became operational, serving as the model for later unsafeguarded reactors. Another Rajasthan unit started operating in 1980 and two units in 2000. In 1983, India's 170 MW Madras-1, a copy of Canadian Rajhastan-1 reactor, became operational. A second Madras unit followed in 1985. According to the Risk Report Volume 11 Number 6 (November-December 2005), the heavy water and other advanced materials and equipment for these plants were smuggled to India from a number of countries, including the USSR, China and Norway, according to The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. Some of the firms, such as West German firm Degussa, were caught and fined by the United States for re-exporting to India 95 kg of U.S.-origin beryllium, usable as a neutron reflector in fission bombs.

Haq's Musings: India's "Indigenous" Copies of Foreign Nukes, Missiles

Forget about India but in first sentence itself it accepts that Pakistan Missiles are not Indigenous.

What a super duper logic that Since Kalam had 4 months training in US, Indian Missiles are not indigenous (Though Kalam has answered this already. I show a missile falling and scientist running for rescue there during my stay). I think India has not done simple Paint Job so it is not qualified to be indigenous according to our friends.

Calm down yourself. You created nothing. We fought and sacrificed for ourselves. Cunning India's involvement was limited to dividing Pakistan hoping to annul The Two Nation Theory. That hasn't happened as Bangladesh identifies itself as a nation of Bengalee Muslims, and is one of the largest Muslim nations in the world.

lol..the article is inaccurate..India has 6 types of operational missiles that can carry nuke.3 types of Prithvi and 3 type of Agni.who is this so called "Defence Expert" guy???lol,he didn't even included Prithvi-II and III..

DUDE you forgot K 15. Even Brahmos can carry Nuclear Warhead if needed.

Dude you want me to post photograph of your general Niyazi signing surrender document to Jasjit singh Arora?

I do not want to remind you that biter history of Your women being Raped and more that 3 millions of your brethen were butchered by by West Pakistani army.

I'm saying about official reports...also,K-15 isn't inducted yet..also,Brahmos is always said to carry non nuclear weapons as its a JV..

Shaurya is a Land version of K15 which is in Production.

Pl follow the link. The Article states that Brahmos is now converted into weapon with sub strategic Capability.
