    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    How many nuke bombs does US have 1800, China 350. Does that mean that US nuclear arsenal size is only 1800 (its close to 7000) and Chinese arsenal size 350 (its an undefined number above 350). Where is the balance number coming from. That is just weapons grade plutonium that can be quickly...

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    The issue is not mass producing nuke weapons. The issue is accumulating fissile material. If you have a proven but untested design and plenty of fissile material , you can mass produce a bomb with just one test which is what India did in 1998. Prior to 1998 we were accumulating fissile material...

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    I think he meant plutonium for nukes rather than actual nuclear bombs. Although I would take even that info with pinch of salt. India perhaps is the most secretive nuke country so dont believe anything. Also very few people actually know how many nukes we have, for common people like us its pure...

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    BDL only assembles missile. DRDO QA is responsible for ensuring robustness of each component which BDL sources. even army QA is involved. Still if u have failure from production lot (missiles which will be launched in actual war), only heavens can save us. I think anyone who had any faith in the...

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    IDRW says that missile from production lot failed. This is absolutely inexcusable and utterly horrifying. How do u expect Modi to start an escalation posture with Pakistan when these ch****DRDO scientists cannot provide tools for the same. Now large raids by IA seem less likely given...

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    This seems to be a new missile for some very special role and they are trying to hide it passing it as Agni 2. My sense is that A2 is already deployed and no longer in production as its role is taken by A4. Nobody tests a 2000km missile at 900km and 2000km missiles dont have such a depressed...

    This is most definitely not Agni 2. This is a new missile

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    Hey this missile is not agni 2, it is much shorter and my sense is that it is agni 1P with range of 300-1200km. This was the first test and maybe they wanted to hide this new missile.

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    Wait, these guys were testing A2 in a depressed trajectory, in such a scenario very likely that it will fail. But why in depressed trajectory?What is the sense of testing a 2000km missile for 900km

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    Thats the point Agni 2 has been inducted in modest numbers . It seems batch tests from 2010 to 2014 were successful. So failure is not acceptable. If a missile is inducted in mass numbers like prithvi, occasional failures are perfectly acceptable.But not for Agni series

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    Hindi media is bullshit. The test flopped else DRDO would have released a gloating statement. V V bad news although Agni 2 is not core to our pak specific arsenal, to strike at Gwadar and far off targets u need A2. New lots should have been successfull.

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    Well even fully tested American missiles have failed. It could be defective components but the real issue is that last test happened in end 2014 so they had ample data and time to produce new lots. V V bad. it will also impact confidence in India's deterrent especially when nuke war is so much...

    Nuclear-capable Agni-II missile test fired

    Confirmed-the trial failed miserably. This is very bad for a fully deployed missile. Last test was in 2014 so the fresh lots are defective it seems.
