Stunning info about Indian's missile projects by Dr.Saraswat

Safest place would be right inside India so our whole army will run into India , together with Chinese Army

Don't know which one is this 'Wet dream' or 'Green dream' ?

This has to be the fault of the journalist, maybe she was talking about future plans or a new system. Because even an all-composite body wouldn't cut down the overall launch mass by this much.

That double range is because of multiple factors:
-use of composites in the second stage
-better fuel grain quality and fuel geometry in both rocket motors
-reduced RV mass

Yes bro,what you say is true but all these factors that attributed to the better efficiency of Agni IV could also be implemented on newer made Agni IIIs and Vs - what do you say??And as for the weight reduction of Agni III,well,no where it says in that article that it was all attributing to the use of all composite body only.The same reasons you mentioned for Agni IV could also be implemented for Agni III,just a thought.

Agni-V is the result of improvement on Agni-III. And Agni-VI will be the result of improvement on Agni-V.
So doing the same for Agni-III would only increase costs, instead working on Agni-VI will be better.

But 22 tons is a too small figure for overall launch mass of Agni-III (or any BM of that class/characteristics), it can only be considered as a misunderstood one. The same reasons are already being implemented in form of Agni-V and VI as I said.

Makes sense.

Why worry about range we are right next doors

If we launch to the East and it comes around the world striking you in the West, then we can blame Iran.

Epic one buddy. But to go round the world we need a missile with 42000 km reach. Theoritically atleast.
Or am i missing the point???

In prisons as PoW?

 

[The Deterrent]

Frame Captures form the Video:

Don't know if these are designs of actual systems (Agni-VI/SLBM), and not taken from the internet to show as examples.
But if they are, it seems that the SLBM would be an advanced and complex improvement on Agni-VI, featuring shorter overall length, 3rd stage in nose fairing, extendable nozzles.

Also DRDO will work on Stellar Guidance in future.

Why do you always beg for a day? Don't up have balls. Seripusly you think china is gonna attack us for sake of pakistan.First ur dad was USA and Now China. Grow up kid.

long range supersonic cruise missiles are game changers.

@The Deterrent
Not really. Each Brahmos costs $5 million.

Half the reason we are building Nirbhay is because we cannot afford to launch Brahmos in mass numbers.
It is too expensive to be used constantly.

We have already ordered $2 Billion worth of Brahmos between the 2 services(IA and IN). The third service is yet to place its orders. You do the maths.

Nirbhay will cost around $1.5 million per missile. Even that is expected to come down with serial production as its built entirely in India unlike Brahmos which has Russian built parts which means price inflexibility.

For each Brahmos, we should be able to afford around 4 Nirbhays(at series production cost). Which means that mass volleys can be fired daily in war.

Brahmos would only be used on High Value-Time Critical targets.

Now if we build a hypersonic long range CM - around 1000kms, the cost would undoubtedly be more than $5 million. By how much? I would not speculate.
But to be game changers, you need to have them in mass numbers regardless of how good the technology is - The supersonic LRCM would be in limited numbers.

But as far as I can remember,Tessi Thomas had on record told that DRDL was actively trying to cut down the weight of Agni III from 50 ton to ~22 ton or so.So cutting down the weight of Agni V should not be a problem either!!

Here is the link to that article:
Agni-V vital: Tessy Thomas - The Hindu

Besides,Agni IV has double the range and apogee of Agni II despite of having similar dimentions,displacements and warhead weight!!So I don't think that our propellant or rocket motor technology lags too far behind.

Agni IV is a TD. Not a deployement missile. Kinetic is right. It will happen in the future, not right now.

Former DRDO chief Dr. VK Saraswat talking about Indian's current ongoing new missile projects at IIT-B...
Stunning revelations...



Sample Video with slides



Brahmos can reach up to 600 km in optimal (no sea skimming) Hi-Hi trajectory.
Agni-6: same range but 3 times the payload (3 MIRVs each of 1 Ton).
SLBM in the works with 6000+ km range and 2 Ton payload (4 MIRVs).
LFRJ (Liquid Fuel Ramjet) - supersonic cruise (3.2M), range: 600 to 1000 kms.
Explanation of what requires to be done for AD-1 and AD-2 interceptors.
ASAT1000: Agni booster+AAD
Helina: will have a different nozzle system.
Electromagnetic bomb: Work in full force.

Agni 5: 50Ton, single payload 1050kg, range 5000Km, Caniterized
Agni 6: 56Ton, MIRV payload 3000Kg (doesn't say how many 3-6), range 5000Km, Caniterized, all 3 stages composite motor casings
SLBM: seems like a variant of A6, 4 MIRV payload 2000Kg, 6000+Km, all 3 stages composite

He says our missiles are heavy because our propellant and material technology not to par. He gives 240 ISP for our propellants vs 260-280 for US/Rus/Eur. But that doesn't reduce capabilities of our missiles and also for the same reason our missiles costs much less.


Brahmos ranges:
Lo-Lo profile ~140Km
Hi-Lo profile < 300Km
Hi-Hi profile 600km

Friends across the border, please don't watch this, it can give you nightmares.

Pakistan has its missile needs covered.

Multiple ballistic missiles covering entire land-mass of our imagined enemy--Hinduistan.

Cruise-missiles capable of hitting enemy's capital.

Air-launched stand-off cruise-missile capable of destroying enemy's command and control centers, and forward formation centers from hundreds of kilometers away.

Short-range tactical weapons for battle-field use on enemy ground formations.

====================

Is Pakistan working on MIRV @The Deterrent ?

Sea-based nuclear cruise missiles and MIRVed nuclear ballistic missiles is what is missing from otherwise a very potent, sophisticated, and complete missile arsenal of Pakistan's strategic forces.

indians seem to be working with a different approach..and developing different type of weapons at once. Also, india needs much more range because of China.

 

[Capt.Popeye]

That double range is because of multiple factors:
-use of composites in the second stage
-better fuel grain quality and fuel geometry in both rocket motors
-reduced RV mass

This has been the real break-through very recently.

Safest will be to allow the indian army into your country and surrender to them .then India will not launch itself.
