Together Agni-V (Range : 8,000 Km) & Agni-VI (12,000 km) will shatter all the myths in China that their missiles are far superior to India's. Agni-V & Agni-Vi will not only be the pride of INDIA, but also the weapon to show its rising power at Global Stage, these two missile will obviously give India the status of a true 'Super-Power'........JAI HIND.........VANDEMATARAM......!!!!

Why even announce the dates? And why is the PM necessary for these launches?

Why even announce the dates? And why is the PM necessary for these launches?

exactly.Why is Pm even required? Cant they complete Development trials and Allow user trials for quick induction? I can think of only two reasons here.
a) narendra modi wants free publicity so he wants this launch in front of him where he can boost of how india can defend aganst china.
b) DRDO wants more funds and whats best scenario other than this to showcase it to PM and ask for funds.

Date changed wish it has got nothing to do with Obama visit and having testing nearby it ... hence the later dates

Is the new launch date Jan 31 as this article seems to suggest:

Top sources have confirmed to OneIndia on Saturday that the much-talked about canisterized version (cold launch) of the surface-to-surface Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Agni-5 will now in all likelihood be held on January 31 from Wheeler Island, off the Odisha coast.

canister version of Agni-5 missile was successfully test launched today.​

India today successfully test-fired its indigenously developed, intercontinental surface-to-surface nuclear capable ballistic missile 'Agni-5', which has a strike range of over 5000 kms and can carry a nuclear warhead of over one tonne, from Wheeler's Island off Odisha coast.

The three stage, solid propellant "missile was test-fired from a mobile launcher from the launch complex-4 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at about 8.06 hours," ITR Director M V K V Prasad said.

Prasad told PTI that the canister version of Agni-5 missile was successfully test launched today.

"The missile, witnessed a flawless 'auto launch' and detailed results will be known after all data retrieved from different radars and network systems."

An eye-witness said, "The sleek missile, just within a few seconds of its blast-off from the Island launchpad roared majestically into a clear sunny sky leaving behind in its trajectory a trail of thin orange and white column of smoke and within seconds it pierced the sky".

Today's launch was the third developmental trial of the long range missile. The first test was conducted on 19 April, 2012 and the second test on 15 September, 2013 from the same base.

The indigenously developed surface-to-surface missile Agni-5 is capable of striking a range more than 5000 km. It is about 17 meters long, 2 metres wide and has a launch weight of around 50 tonnes. The missile can carry a nuclear warhead of more than one tonne.

Unlike other missiles of Agni series, the latest one 'AGNI-5', is most advanced having some new technologies incorporated with it in terms of navigation and guidance, warhead and engine, Prasad said.

"Lot of new technologies developed indigenously were successfully tested in the first Agni-5 trial. The very high accuracy Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System (RINS) and the most modern and accurate Micro Navigation System (MINS) had ensured the Missile reach the target point within few meters of accuracy.

"The high speed onboard computer and fault tolerant software along with robust and reliable bus guided the missile flawlessly," said an official.

India has at present in its armoury of Agni series, Agni-1 with 700 km range, Agni-2 with 2000 km range, Agni-3 and Agni-4 with 2500 km to more than 3500 range. After a few more trials, Agni-5 will be inducted into the services.

The long anticipated canister launch is a great success. This is a great achievement by DRDO and the Indian scientists.

Congrats to all and Specially to Dr. Chandra and his team. It is great gift from him to the nation. Now we can target all parts of China with nukes, if things get bad.

We have now taken care of two front war.

What is with the tape (brown part on RV cone) on the A5, this was in first test too.

External Stage coupling...observe how it bridges stage 1-2 and 2-3.


Also observe the burst/tongue of fire below the first stage nozzle, that is the ejector booster being jettisoned sideways--much like the brahmos/shaurya nose cone but her it is below the missile inside the canister.

DRDO must be having very big send off party for Dr. Chandra.
