Longest Range Ballistic Missile All Set for Undersea Launch

[gslv mk3]

17 tonne missile,taking 2 tonne warhead to 3500 kms...

Would we see MIRVs on this one?

Any info on MIRV on Agni V?

I agree that our Journalists are pathetic,
But whats written in report ' A hypersonic missile that never leaves atmostphere ' is a term used by DRDO to describe a QBM to our journos ( coz our journos got no info on whats a QBM )

That was the same way they described K15 also and DRDO classifies it as a STM not a QBM .

I guess india is way far ahead of the US, Russia & China in technology..
coz whatever they make is "best in the world"......

may it be missiles, aircraft's, helicopters, tanks, idiots, etc etc etc..

If K4 does not leave the atmosphere , then there will be no 're-entry' . Hence no RV .

ehhhhhh wrong call

1- R-36M (SS-18 Satan), Russia - 16,000km

2- DongFeng 5A (DF-5A), China - 13,000km

K 15 has a powered boost glide RV(?)

The artice say its a shaped trajectory missile,so post info aboutsubmarine,launched STMs

There was a thread on this forum not so long ago where DRDO said Agni V can carry 3 warheads.

Should be TNWs...RVs weigh around 400 kg
So 3 x 400 = 1200 kg still less than 1.5 tonne capability of A 5

the claim of Longest Range Ballistic Missile

@kurup

No..Shaurya has 3 kinds of RVs-mk 4,mk 5 and mk 6.It is light made up of carbon composite.
Google Shourya miasile-India research org

the claim of Longest Range Ballistic Missile

No one claimed it was,it meant longest range SLBM for Indka

the claim of Longest Range Ballistic Missile

The claim here is it K4 being India's longest range submarine launched missile not world's .

Probably, TNW, but thats what I read...I am not able to find that link though.

RV mk 4 used Agni III weighs around 400 kg,and houses a 200 kT TNW,and diameter is really small,that they use a payload adapter to connect it to the missile..

Tessy Thomas stated in the past that several new technologies were tested in Agni 4. I believe one of them could be MIRV preparedness. MIRV is nothing but self propelled warhead(so some weight compromise there). Regarding the Agni 4 and Agni 3, 5 context, multiple final stages of Agni 4 with the warhead can be fixed over Agni 3, 5

That would explain why Agni 3 was showing a payload capacity of 2500kgs and Agni 5 1500kgs. Also it would explain the range reduction for these missiles.
