Missile test failure: huge embarrassment for the Indians

[CorporateAffairs]

Failure is a stepping stone to success

 

[Safriz]

Sorry to say, but this was a really poor attempt at trolling by the OP.

Theres a reason that tests occur, and that is to see if they fail or not. A fail in a test launch is not a really big thing.

Missiles are not test fired to see that if they will fall from the sky or keep flying..Here the missile fell off the sky....
Missiles are test fired to check accuracy and performance...
Big fail from DRDO....
wasting public funds...

Why should anyone be scared / embarassed by failures ?

Knowing a 100 failures means knowledege of a 100 ways things can go wrong.

Nothing wrong at all so long as they are not repeated & the cause found.

Any more cheap shots.. and ill lay the smack down on that person and those that reply..
Regardless of who started it.


On topic:

This is a pretty cheap jingoistic article... The only reason you dont see such failures coming out from Pakistan side is the massive number of soft tests done(which require more time to verify data for error checks and hence delay development) before an actual physical test is carried out. Moreover, unlike India, Pakistan is not breaking any radical frontiers and is instead taking a step by step building approach.. which is safer, but does not lead to any major breakthrough's such as the brilliance of Agni-V.

India has chosen to break new barriers in tech.. well that brings with it a high probably that you will not succeed at the first try.
Instead of whining about it and making excuses, deal with it.. and move on.

Thank you indeed for the sane assesment.

This will be first post any non Indian has appreciated something about Indian missile program. I am sending the screenshot to be framed on the wall.

Exactly my point..10 years ago,there wasn't much computational power available and simulation was difficult..Now a missile can be rigorously tested in a simulation,and inside a lab,before trying to fly an unfinished product and losing money on that..
Its good if Pakistan goes all the way to a level where Lab tests cannot be done anymore and the missile has to be flown...and Paksitani missiles don't fall out of the sky....
If DRDO sticks to decades old Practices its not something to appreciate...

True india tries to be smart and starts projects which are cutting edge,but how many they actually finish successfully within reasonable time and budget?

 

[regular]

Hit and try missile...may work,may go phussssssss

Even Phussssssss is too much for the DRDO/Indians, at least something is better than nothing......

BREAKING NEWS :- INDIA CONDUCTS 2 MORE SUCCESSFUL TEST OF AKASH MISSILE ON SECOND CONSECUTIVE DAY TODAY


Source"- h_t_t_p : /_/www . hindustantimes.com/India-news/Orissa/Air-Force-version-of-Akash-missiles-successfully-test-fired/Article1-864334.aspx


So it is 3 Successful tests out of 4.

Plz someone post this as a new thread.

I second this. Out of respect and fairness to the Indians on this thread I SUGGEST it be deleted and re-posted, with the right title and article attached.

I do not think you understood his post, he is also saying Pakistan is not experimenting so much as India. Also you are assuming that DRDO does not do those test, which is very big assumption. Doing test does not mean that everything can be tested, there are some things which need live testing.

 

[notsuperstitious]

Best to know what went wrong, best to know than not to know, best our forcess tell us than consider us too worthless to take us into confidence.

Long term a good idea, as long as its coupled with follow up and correction.

^^^^ the thread is about missiles not poverty rate.

 

[OrionHunter]

Though a massive number of the Indian population still has no access to clean drinking water or to toilets, the warmongering Indian government still believes it can achieve a milestone by continuing its line of failures and false hopes of promises towards an Indian hegemony in the region.

WTF has a missile test gotta do with toilets?

Guess where this crap was copy/pasted from? A tabloid called Pakistan First.com

Jeeeez!

This thread a huge embarrassment for SOCOM


Bhubaneswar, June 1 (IANS) The Indian Air Force Friday successfully conducted two tests of country's indigenously developed medium-range surface-to-air Akash missile from a defence base in Odisha, an official said.

The missile, which has a range of 27 km and an effective ceiling of 15 km, was test-fired from the Integrated Test Range of Chandipur in the costal district of Balasore, around 230 km from here, as part of the production trials.

'The air force personnel launched and witnessed the mission. Both the tests were successful' test range director M.V.K.V. Prasad told IANS.

Another test of theAkash missile is likely to take place from the same defence base early next week, he added.

The 720 kg Akash carries a 55 kg payload. It can fly at a speed of up to Mach 2.5, operate autonomously and simultaneously engage and neutralise different aerial targets.
