    Hypersonic Missile NonproliferationHindering the Spread of a New Class of Weapons

    Just for clarifying, do you mean that K5 will have first time launch test within 1 year even though your K4 has not finish the testing stage yet?

    So, you can't find any words from the author saying about India's glider either? Yes, when? 1 year? 2 year? 5 year? or 10 year.

    But the author says nothing to verify your claim -- that all the warheads of India ballistic missiles can glide. So far, we haven't see any evidence to suggest that these RV could glide except Indian scientists words and PPT.

    That is very interesting. As I read thorough the book, regarding India part, it talks about MRV which has nothing to do with gliding vehicle. More interestingly, the book was only talking about Agni 1, 2, 3, there is no mention of Agni 4. But we know why, because this book first published in...

    Clearly, in the link provided by other Indian member, SAR doesn't detect the coming obstacles. It only serves the flight route monitoring.

    Well, honey, that is not terrain following! There is no need for a missile to have terrain hugging capability above the sea. This capability is used for those flying above the ground. These missiles can detect the geographic obstacles in their path and automatically adjust their flying altitude...

    Dude, flying as low as 3m above the sea level is NOT terrain hugging. I am really surprised that you don't even know what is Terrain hugging, but anyway, here is your information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrain-following_radar

    Check your link, it says this radar is used for changing the path instead of terrain hugging.

    Or you answer my question first. In the link provided by you, where does it say anything about this "SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR" ? And flying as low as 10m? Very interesting, I have googled your magic X-BAND SAR, but can't find any source link it to Brahmos or terrain hugging. Do you mind...

    In the link provided by you, where does it say anything about this "SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR" ? And flying as low as 10m? Let's see what a subsonic cruise missile can do, such as Tomahawk. It can fly 5 meters altitude above sea level, but in the land attack, it must fly over at least 35m and...

    Mars mission exactly prove my point. India's Mars mission did far little research work around Mars comparing to US, certainly, your budget was very smaller. And the Chinese budget on Mars at the time was even smaller than India: they didn't even get enough budget for their own rocket. The...

    No, Brahmos doesn't have the capability of terrain hugging. No, because Indian army didn't escalate in India either. Noticed those Indian soldiers crossed the border with empty hand. Same as Chinese soldiers. No matter what both sides said, neither side had intention to fight. 100 Brahmos is...

    Your claim is very funny: all 3 countries spent decades and billions of dollars to minimize their warheads, then suddenly they start to believe in big and expensive? Oh, kid, you claim that India is not only ahead of whoever thinks you are, but 15-20 years ahead of everyone on this planet.

    Maybe before you jump in, you should use your brain to think about 2 things which every warhead design has to sort out: heat and air resistance. The question how does India get its glider so small and so light that is able to fit in K-15.

    So far, the similar warheads tested by American, Russian and Chinese were all carried by ICBM only as they are simply too big and heavy.
