blade, you're damn right I'm "enraged". "Beg" from the DRDO? You gotta be sh%ttin' me. Ballistic missiles always use inertial guidance. Ballistic missiles are always powered during the initial, relatively brief, powered phase of flight, before subsequently making use of the laws of...

ahmed bhai, let me assure you the question was not intended to single you out uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu But as you've mentioned it, what "modifications" have the simulated hostile Prithvi missiles undergone that would render their inertial guidance systems malfunctioning? Why are we even...

ROTFLMAO. But this brings up another conundrum: Why did the Prithvi fail? Or veer off course? Why are the Prihvi's, the grindstone of our missile program, experiencing "onboard malfunctions" that cause them to "fail to attain the desired altitude profile" ? Why are we still making excuses for...

So, the missile failed on its second and latest test. Good God I'm pissed ! ‘Coordination problem’ grounds India's interceptor missile Monday, March 15, 2010, 12:12 IST Zeenews Bureau Balasore (Orissa): India's new Advanced Air Defence (AAD) interceptor missile, capable of destroying...

The 'technical snag' was no snag at all. The launch got deferred because one of the pre-launch operations was delayed during the final countdown. Apparently, there was a delay in the assembling and operation of the one of the sub-systems, that caused an overshoot of the allocated time limit by...

Oh brother! Do I really need to explain to you the relationship between payload and yield? A "1/2 ton" payload translates into a yield of roughly 2.6 megatons. Going by your argument of "strategic deterrence", in this age, any credible "strategic deterrence" requires that payloads be much...

Do not detract from my post. I never suggested the "tactical nukes I was refering to" can be squeezed into 120 mm artillery rockets. I responded to your (rubbish) assertion that "Artillery rockets cannot carry a nuclear warhead (too heavy)". The W48 is deliverable via a M109 self propelled or...

Artillery-fired tactical nuclear warheads executable from artillery projectiles have been carried by the United States in its defense armoury ever since 1953. The W79 Artillery Fired Atomic Projectile, designed to be launched from a standard 8-inch 203 mm Howitzer, was introduced in 1981. Other...
