Interceptor missile mission a ‘failure’

[MilSpec]

Heh. Yes. And they are the most anti-bhakt of papers!

The Hindu was part of the famous triumvirate of Mount Road. All three run by Tam Brams, run to the highest standards of integrity and upright dealings, and famous for their conservative attitude. The other two were the TVS Sundaram Iyengars, and the Amalgamations Group. It rocked Madras to its foundations when Venu Srinivasan of the TVS family married Mallika Sivasailam, daughter of A. Sivasailam. They both kept their business independence, but are an iconic couple in the Indian business world: never a whiff of scandal, never a shadow of doubt.

And that's where The Hindu comes from.

Lets wait for some confirmation from DRDO, there is no hurry to authenticate the news based on the article. The objective of the test was not clear, there are a multitude of parameters to be tested on a system like this, even if the interception was miss, or the target deviated from the trajectory, other parameters could have been validated. There is not enough data available to take either of the sources seriously and until then DRDO's version should suffice.

The Hindu is long known for its butthurt, especially the achievement under this new govt.

So they should disclose the "source" otherwise STFU and listen to official statement of DRDO, which has nothing to hide and disclose even the result is small failures.

Point taken.

As you know, The Hindu usually is a little later than others in printing news, because they check and re-check with the utmost care. This is a new departure. I am not sure that this is representative of their style.

Those editorials are truly informative .
Even better than our Mathurbhumi and Manorama .

Or they are intentionally challenging the new values of our new generation medias . ,Jingoism ,war mongering ,shouting and exaggerating without any content . .
Those exaggeration about our ABM is creating a lots of tension in our neighbourhood .
So they might try for neutral approach to cool down the situation

The Hindu is long known for its butthurt, especially the achievemeng under this new govt.

So they should disclose the "source" otherwise STFU and listen to official statement of DRDO.

Dont say that dude .
Main principle or objective of a newspaper or a media is that ,they should always follow and scruitnise the policies and decisions of their elected govt , with critical approach .That is the beauty of a vibrant democracy.
I have read 'The Hindu'.A nice paper indeed ,I didnt see any useless content in that paper .
Having said that , they should have been ask DRDO about this source.

Why is this thread posted in Pakistan affairs ?

Isn't The Hindu the most credible Indian news site.

The congress banking cancer fest are f*cking kidding me ? Hindu aren't even in the top 30 list , they barely have 1.4 million readers , even times of India can gather 31 million readers .

According to Alexa indiatimes & NDTV are the most popular ones online

Solid thrust cartridges on the RV fired via microprocessor relay.

Simple English would do. Pardon my ignorance over technical terms.

 

[MilSpec]

lol, you have not seen some of his posts then. Next time he shows his "maturity", ill make sure to screen shot it and tag you along with it.

I have followed a lot of his posts, He is a respectable member here, and admired by most here including me. I am no one to advice you, but it is our duty to be respectful of opinions of elders. You might disagree with joe sir, but you can do it respectfully. Please refrain from name calling or responding all together. This would be my humble request.

regards

Simple English would do. Pardon my ignorance over technical terms.

When the warhead separates from the system it's called the re-entry vehicle, this usually caries the payload to be delivered. Because the warhead is falling from about 50km for a SRBM, the density of atmosphere is low, and it gains speed due to gravityin both phases control surfaces become useless at higher mach numbers and at low density air. So you can have thrust cartridges > mini tubes with solid fuel which can either correct course or even make changes to the parabolic trajectory. Most BMD's rely on launch trajectories and make adjustments in flight to be in the vicinity where it can have the terminal course of interception via active/passive/rf seekers. Now if a missile using thrust cartridges can make substantial changes to the flight path, it will keep it will have a good probability of escaping the kill vehicle. Now if multiple cartridges can be fired on a timed relays, then there are multiple corrections making the interception even more complicated than a pre programmed evasion technique.

I used to respect him quiet a lot before 2014, i knew his opinions deferred way before that as i have been reading his posts for some time now. His hate for this govt. and their supporters is so huge that he literally treats their supporters like thrash, I have no reason to give him any more respect than he gives me.

Like trash, not like thrash.

The stuff you put into garbage cans, and then shut the lid firmly, in the vain hope that the stench will not get out.

Just about orthography; nothing personal.

Also, respect is not given, it is earned. I do not wish for anything that I have not earned, on military matters primarily, but also on social and cultural issues, if it comes to that. Those who want to know if I have earned respect or not may see the figures under my avatar.

If you dislike my views, go ahead; if you insult me, I will treat it with the contempt that it deserves, confident and secure in the understanding that there are those among members who will take it up as appropriate.

As for giving respect, for those who are Islamophobic, who wish to split the country on religious lines, who wish to impose the views of the majority on minorities through mob violence in complete disregard of the law, who defend such mobs imposing majoritarian and caste Hindu views on the rest of India, I have nothing to offer, nothing to give.

Again, it is not personal, it is ideological. The day an individual realises that his claptrap is false and hollow and changes his views, my attitude will change, since I deal with views, not with personalities. If not, then not.

Hindu is the most anti-Hindu newspaper in India.

They are the best in the Business when it comes to

1) Communist propaganda - Readers would not even have a slightest hint of it

2) Use of very decent and polished language - Very well sugar coated

3) Highly recommended for kids who wants to develop good grammar & vocabulary. Parents can be assured that the kid would not being exposed to X-rated language or pictures

As a kid I use to read three news papers

The Hindu - Communist POV

Newstime - TDP POV

DC - Congress POV and of course the movie ads & timings

Again, it is not personal, it is ideological.

Once you are tied to an ideology your point of view is already biased. So how can you question others who do not subscribe to yours?

Only a independent non-ideological person has the right to question the stand taken by the ideologists - be it Communists, or Socialists or Islamists or Hindutvavaadis.

I believe Mr. Joe Shearer is not tied to any ideology other than pure and flawless secularism which in my opinion should be the universal ideology for every human being.

 

[dadeechi]

pure and flawless secularism

Pure secularism is a utopia and does not exist in real world.

 

[Tripoli]

Pure secularism is a utopia and does not exist in real world.

What is your opinion about the Scandinavian countries. They have mastered secularism, no?

 

[Joe Shearer]

Pure secularism is a utopia and does not exist in real world.

That is the point of view of an impure secularist, who doesn't try.

 

[Stephen Cohen]

That is the point of view of an impure secularist, who doesn't try.

In the LONG run ; secularism will end

The sheer demographic pressures will cause it

Nothing lasts for ever

Secondly what is the Guarentee that the HINDU newspaper has NOT
gone beyond its Anti Modi policy and is Tarnishing DRDO with a ulterior motive

All media Houses are now a days ALIGNED to a political ideology

Nobody is Pure and perfect

[-blitzkrieg-]

Beauty of accuracy of this article in its last line
That none of the indian BMD tested ever at altitude of 120 km ever


This 13 th test of india BMD as system

Last this news is never reported by any other news sources accept hindu dipict how credible news this is



.

Another beauty from The Hinhu newspaper "sources". Series of Hit jobs aimed as anti Modi does not pass muster test of credibility.

Ashwin interceptor is not a variant of Prithvi.
Prithvi is an Liquid fueled missile weighing 4.4 tons, and 9M in length and about 100 cms in diameter, Ashwin is a solid fueled missile 7.5 m (25 ft) tall, weighs around 1.2 t (1.2 long tons; 1.3 short tons) and a diameter of less than 0.5 m (1 ft 8 in).
Your contention is incorrect to begin with.

The article here deals with anonymous source, compared to certified sources of other outlets. So the question really is validity of the news article. Hopefully DRDO will come out with an explanation.


Dude, Please be respectful to other members, Everyone has an opinion to express, do not hurl personal attacks just because they differ in opinion.

The Hindu is long known for its butthurt, especially the achievement under this new govt.

So they should disclose the "source" otherwise STFU and listen to official statement of DRDO, which has nothing to hide and disclose even the result is small failures.

Ok here is another one affirming.

If you guys know any international paper that covered this story please share because 'the diplomat' is also sceptical now.

http://thediplomat.com/2016/05/did-india-hide-a-failed-supersonic-missile-test/
"It is not possible to independently verify either claim at this stage. Interestingly, however, there were no pictures or videos of the May 15 launch or of the interceptor missile in flight published, something which is otherwise regularly done by Indian authorities."

The whole point of starting the thread was not mud slinging but to understand why DRDO lied .Is it because they were trying to create a false sense of power imbalance in the region.A simple statement could have have came by now, to clarify or rebuke Hindu but there's silence.

@MilSpec It not me its your own country that calls it a variant of Prithvi..Please dont target the messenger.
