It doesn't matter if it's officially 8k range, European nations already know the range of this missiles, not the public but those who need to know. Like someone said, if it's official, then brace for another slander campaign. Public opinion is unnecessary.
Just have yam manoeuvreing trejectory for Agni5 that will take care of any mid course interceptor.
But dragon breathes fire mate what would an elephant do then..
India is famous for Elephant. Since ancient times, war elephant culture was developed in India and a massive importance was given to elephants culturally too. In Mahabharatha too, an elephant was named as Ashwatthama and killed to fool Dronacharya (Ashwatthama Hatha Kunjara). That is why India is represented by elephant.
Also,not to forget the mighty Alexander of the west pissed at Hydaspes watching Indian war elephants in action...Chandragupta Maurya gave Seleucus Nicator 500 Indian war elephants in exchange for a matrimonial alliance(including Afghania)...Such is the stature of Indian elephants across the world...Considering our history,it is apt to call India as an Elephant....Elephant frightened Alexander,Dragon didn't frighten even Mongols coz it is fiction.
DO not speculate. It is truth. Saraswat himself has acknowledged the same in his interview.
We can worry about the dragon breathing fire when it comes out of fiction. Same, we can worry about cheena's maal, when it is actually potent.
The issue here is that nothing happens from only simulating capability. For simulation, you need DATA. Only you have a huge numbers of DATA, they can be simulated. So basic DATA is very important. If we get data, we can run simulation on it.
The issue here is how much was designed yield and how much fusion material was put as secondary fuel. If the designed yield was achieved than it is OK and not otherwise.
Good thing we got that all cleared up .. now back to Agni and its dominance over asian skies ..
Does it matter?
Incorrect In Hindu culture, the tiger is the chosen mode of travel of gods and goddesses. Maa Durga choose tiger as her mode on transport during the war, Lord Ayyappa, the third son of Shiva, is also rides on a tiger. Kshatriya's/Sikhs in north India have there last names as Singh meaning Tiger to boost the moral.
There was a page I read about the possibility of numerical model validation by sub-critical tests. So if the government does give the go ahead for sub-critical testing, we can validate the mathematical model we have from our existing data and then use it to simulate next generation of Indian nukes with a greater confidence. But we have to be careful not to attract sanctions. Maybe we are waiting for a time when we are big enough that most countries do not consider imposing sanctions on us and hurting themselves in the process just because we conducted sub-critical testing.
