I know what this Chinese said and I also know he has neither working experience in missile development, nor access to Chinese intelligent reports. He is not kind of authoritative source.


Agni -4 is a 17 Ton missile with official Range 4000-6000 km .
Agni -4 is the most advanced Indian missile .
Well, firstly most of the online sources (including Indian) suggest 3500-4000km, the best estimation is "more than 4000km";
Secondly, the playload of Agni-4 is only 800kg-1t

So, as this gentleman claimed, by simply increasing 7 ton (fuel???), Agni 5 doubles the range and playload simultaneously?

Just look at the similar missile that US, Russia and French have, comparing to what he claimed about Agni-5, you can find how "advance" this missile is.

If we are no threat then why Global times is crying and threatening to go to UNSC and to arm Pakis with ICBMs?

Wait, are you claiming that A5 can throw 1.5t to 8000km with only 24ton weight?
Are you understanding what you are talking about? If this is true, it is kind of missile 20 years ahead of any country in the world!
Do you have source to back it up?
Do you agree that Agni 5 has a range of 8000/km? I can provide you the reference of weight.

Agni 5 has range of 10000 km not 8000km. It can go beyond 8000km and its weight is 50 tonne not 24 tonne.

Please provide the reference where it says Agni V weighs 23 tons. Considering that it was first tested in 2012, and we are now in 2017 with the most recent test being done late last year, I would be thrilled to know if we have actually done something so AWESOME :smile:. But I can't really celebrate until you give me the reference:frown:.

And this is why we must ALWAYS have an anchor in reality. So that we know how to come back to it after we are done daydreaming.

LOL, Agni 3 will simply overshoot Pak, why they need even to bother about it.
Because they are worried it will overshoot and hit them when they abandon their burning ship (Pakistan) and run away to Afghanistan under the protection of the "Taliban". :laugh:

Yes, quite a lot Indians here use him as the evidence.
Come on dude. No need to shy away from the official Chinese propaganda. India never said it has 8000km range, China did.
