Kind of off topic but related

Old pics of Shaurya TEL

Newer pics of Shaurya TEL

What does it tell us ?
contrary to open source info, Shaurya is very much in operational deployment. Otherwise why keep upgrading the TEL of a reportedly non operational missile.

Are these ICBM's mobile launch types or silo launch types? Is there any SLBM type of these models?

The picture above is an Agni 2, which is a rail mobile MRBM. So not road mobile, but not in a silo either.

What is rail launch? Isn't it as same as the mobile launch platform like Topol?

Topol-M is mounted on a truck, which can go on roads and grass etc. Rail launched missiles are mounted on specialized trains. An example of a rail mounted missile is the soviet RT 23 Molodet ICBM, now decomissioned to be replaced by a newer rail mounted missile in development.

Goes to show how much we Indians love trains :biggrin2:. But honestly I don't know why they didn't go for a normal truck mounted missile like most countries.

To answer your second question, Agni 2 and 4 are too tall to be placed in a submarine no matter how much modification. India has K4 missiles for submarines, and is developing the Agni 6 which will be more suitable for submarines.

Hope India have a capable boomer to house the missiles with.

Check the nuclear submarine thread. Significantly larger boomers than the first Arihant sub are already constructed.
