With Russian help, India to join ICBM big league soon

Moscow to provide ‘seeker’ tech for Agni-V, capable of hitting target beyond 10,000 km

India is all set to join the select group of nations capable of launching nuclear strikes across continent. With Russia ready to provide the cutting-edge “seeker” technology for India’s Agni-V intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the country is ready to flaunt its nuclear might in a big way by year end when the ICBM will undergo its maiden launch.

The development of the ICBM had been delayed because no country was ready to provide India the crucial ‘seekers’ technology, which enables the missile to home in on the target with pinpoint precision. The ICBM will be capable of carrying nuclear payload and has a strike range of 10,000 km.

The Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) has indigenously developed the ‘seeker’ technology for Agni-I, Agni-II and Agni-III intermediate range missiles. But the DRDO was not in a position to develop the next stage technology and efforts to import it had been futile so far.

The breakthrough with Russia for the most critical system of the ICBM came after extensive talks between delegations of the two countries during Defence Minister AK Antony’s three-day visit to Moscow earlier this week. The Indian delegation comprised senior missile scientists of the DRDO besides others, and Moscow agreed to help New Delhi for the ICBM project, sources said.

The two sides met to review progress on various defence projects under the India-Russia Inter-Governmental Commission on Military Technical Co-operation set up a decade back. The Defence Ministers of the two countries head this body and meet once a year either in Moscow or New Delhi.

Russia, UK, the US, France and China are the only countries in the world to have ICBMs which can hit a target beyond 10,000 km. India has successfully developed intermediate range ballistic missiles capable of carrying nuclear weapons and hitting a target less than 4,000 km.

With the successful launch of the Agni-III two years back, the Indian scientists displayed their capability to even develop ICBM. However, their efforts over the last two years or so to go ahead with Angi-V launch could not progress due to non-availability of ‘seeker’ techology.

“Given discriminatory attitude against India by some advanced countries, including the US vis-à-vis sharing advanced technology over the last two decades, it was tough going for the missile project scientists till Russia agreed to come to India’s rescue,” officials said.

They said Russia was more than willing to share technical know-how with India for its missile programme and time tested defence relations between the two countries spanning more than four decades again produced positive results, sources said.

In another important development, Russia will also share its advanced GPS system for military purposes with India. The US has been reluctant to do so despite repeated assurances by Washington that it is ready to open its doors for hi-tech.

Incidentally, the other country to provide frontline technology in missiles and avionics is Israel and its sophisticated radars helped the DRDO carry out the successful test of Agni-III, sources pointed out.

FOREVER LIVE INDIA RUSSIA FRIENDSHIP

Russians are now getting ready for their 5th gen nuke missiles. I think we should step up and secretly join them in this program. We should also start a program to reduce the size of our missiles as much as possible.

now i can understand why DRDO always gets egg on its face wrt to its missiles reason came out in this news item that DRDO always fires russian junks of 1950 tech and trying to pass it as its own indigenous tech.

No our tech is not that old...its very new and of world standard but a little bit behind russians and US. Russians are the best in this field. Our missile techs are build indegeously except some help in SLBM, ICBM and MIRV tech. These are really tough areas.

As far as failure is concerned, it happens with everyone. Our SLBM and BMD program is one of the most successful programs in the world. BMD was successful every-time except once the incoming missile failed but then also interceptor worked as it should have done. K-15 is successful almost every-time. K-series missiles, Shaurya, Sagrika are one of the most advanced missiles.

May be...But DRDO looks foolish making big mouth statements even before tests have taken place.somebody ask them to shut up their mouth and concentrate only doing the test and issue the statement only after it.

This again shows india and Russia are two thug states.
Ballistic Missile proliferation is strictly prohibited by international laws and treaties, that is why NK and Iran can't build these stuff.

india is again showing its thug nature and trying to against the rule and play dirty.

refuse to sign NPT
now trying to go Ballistic Missile proliferation

one day thug, always thug

 

[Alchemy]

We might by now already secretly joined them bro !

 

[Alchemy]

Why are you getting so jealous.... relax and take a deep breathe .... We never complained when you proliferated to Pak and other rogue states .... now you feel like opening your UN rule book ???

 

[peaceful]

We might by now already secretly joined them bro !

india might have already secretly sent men to Mars and the construction there are going well. in 10 years, india is going to launch sspace based invasion and unify the entire world.

talk after talk, lie after lie, nothing can be achieved.

jealous? hahaha

1. india will eventually master the ICBM technology, this is nothing new, just 1960s technology.

2. india will never be able to make it carry nuke because india simply couldn't afford to do another nuke test. without such test, you can't be sure the nuke head does work. think about the possibility that india fire a ICBM nuke to some country, didn't work, the "enemy" pick up the nuke head, put it in their museum and then fire back a working nuke.

3. No, we never provided ICBM tech to Pak, but when necessary, we should provide the blueprint and assembly line of DF-15/21 to Pak to counter the thug state of india.

B.S article and this is what happen when an author got influenced by Prasun Chor gupta ,thanks to bengal brotherhood.Russia is MTCR SIGNATORY country for god sake and even if they need to provide seekers ,they would provide it secretly .

Btw ballastic missile don't need Seekers[This is needed when you want to seek and destroy something like aircraft,something moving].Ballastic missile need guidance system to destroy prestated non movable thing Except ASBM like DF 21 .

Here is the source of Fu*ckin B.S article.

at 1st when i read this B.S thread ,I

Moscow to provide ‘seeker’ tech for "Agni-V, capable of hitting target beyond 10,000 km"
what crap agni 5 is 5000- 6000 km range
