Those in same business knows its range.

Now all other missile will be made into canister version.

February 02, 2015: The Agni V ballistic missile, India's longest range nuclear delivery system, enters service by the end of this year. At this stage, top sources say development test routines are complete, with the system to be handed over to the Strategic Forces Command (SFC) to populate deterrent units in the country. The road-transportable canisterised system, which will be standard on the Agni V going forward is ready in all respects for deterrent duty, outgoing DRDO chief Dr Avinash Chander has indicated. Top sources said that there was the possibility of one final test being conducted towards the middle of this year to fine tune certain navigational aspects of the missile's performance, but that they were satisfied with the outcome of the cold launch from a hermetically sealed canister that for the first time provides immense deployment flexibility and survivability. With the Agni III already in service, the Agni V will replace it as the longest range strategic weapon in India's nuclear arsenal. The Agni IV has already been inducted into service too. According to DRDO, the earlier two flights of Agni V, fully successful, were in open configuration and had already proved the missile. "Saturday's launch from a canister integrated with a mobile sophisticated launcher, was in its deliverable configuration that enables launch of the missile with a very short preparation time as compared to an open launch. It also has advantages of higher reliability, longer shelf life, less maintenance and enhanced mobility," the DRDO said in a statement.

I was thinking about the cap of the canister of A5.

So i watched the video again.

It has rubber sheet type stuff for selling the canister.

Look at the screen shots. It shows the expansion of the rubber sheet seal, then the missile cone cut it open and it come up. You can see the rubber sheet still hanging on to the canister.....

I am loving this video, every time i see it. Find something new.

Still looking for the cold launch motor. It has hidden in exhaust.

Always finding the small things, Saya?:thumb:

From the launch control center:

Looks determined, has something to prove, especially after recent events.

Should have been an dramatic explosion in the background, "---- yeah" moment.

This is when he formally says on public address system "Test Sucessful". Since they all know it before had on control room screens. Annousement for those who are outside the control room.

I think A5 canister system is more advance then Brahmos and Shurya missile. Cold launch is so powerful that they had to put cap at the bottom of A5 to protect its engine.

1. the main power which pops up the missile is the hot/high pressure gas created by the Gas Generator on the bottom of missile canister. you can see the flame-out on the top of the canister.

2. the thing on the bottom of the missile is not 'booster' but a heat shield to protect the missile against that hot/high pressure gas and pass the equilibrated pressure to the missile during the ejection phase in the canister...

3. there is a small Lateral engine/Gas Generator on the heat shield to push the shield away the missile , then the missile began the ignition

Actually I was more interested in the map ..... That map you are saying is no more avaliable .

I would have decoded it but my Google earth is showing some problems .
