India to conduct night trial of Agni-I missile

[sayareakd]

a doubt here......all the trials conducted before for all the versions of agni were using the russian INS ?

our is foreign armed force, so they tend to are more bias for domestic weapons systems, may be we require foreign officers and soldiers to man foreign weapons.

Earlier the same person has said problem in launcher now he says problem in missile.

Hydraulic Snags Led to Night Trial Failure of Agni-I Missile | idrw.org

Even as the defence authorities are tight-lipped on the reasons of the failure of surface-to-surface medium range ballistic missile Agni-I night trial, sources attributed it to metallurgical malfunction and snags in the hydraulic system.
Sources said after an abortive mission on February 18, the 700-km range missile was to be test-fired from Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast next evening. But the strategic forces command (SFC) was forced to postpone the test for indefinite period due to some technical glitches in the missile system.
Initially while it was learnt that the faults in 'not-up-to-the-mark' Indian inertial navigation system (INS) led to postponement of the first night user trial of the nuclear capable missile, a scientist associated with the mission pointed fingers at manufacturing faults in the missile.
Talking to 'The Express', he said manufacturing and metallurgical faults triggered hydraulics problems in the missile system thereby forcing the armed forces authorities to put off the trial only 18 seconds prior to the test schedule.
Hydraulics help open the wings and fins in the missile system. The wings and fins were not being opened that day. Sensing further trouble, the mission was postponed.
However, the scientists have been asked to rectify the faults and make the mission ready for trial within next one year.
"The armed forces would definitely not want to take further risk. The body of the missile has to be changed as the metallurgical malfunction could lead to another fiasco. Besides, the INS has also to be checked properly," he added.
Meanwhile, the team Akash is readying for another trial of the surface-to-air missile on Monday. After the trial, three more would be carried out in next couple of weeks. Sources informed that the armed forces were preparing to go for a fresh trial of 2000-km range ballistic missile Agni-II in March second week.

What is happening here.. first they said its a launcher issue, then they pointed the fingers on Indian Inertial Navigation System, now they are saying its a manufacturing faults /metallurgical malfunction.

Which one is true now ??

India to conduct complex interceptor missile test - The Hindu

In another fortnight, India will be conducting one of the most complex interceptor missile tests. For the first time a state-of-the-art interceptor missile at supersonic speed will seek to engage and destroy an incoming target missile at a very high altitude of 120-140 km over the Bay of Bengal.

Entirely new interceptor and target missiles have been developed by scientists of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) for the upcoming engagement, to be conducted in exo-atmosphere (altitude above 40-50 km) on April 27 or 28. The test was originally planned to be conducted in November, 2013 but had been delayed since then.
