He says the battery drained after launch command was given. Further DRDO was unable to retrieve the SLBM from the pontoon after the failure. Any ideas why? Has something like this ever happened before?

Damn. :frown: But looking at the positive side of things, it was a failure of the ejection system. At least it was not a failure of the K-4 missile itself. Lets hope the next test is a resounding success. Thanks for the update. Where'd you get this tidbit?

What do the Russians have that we dont that allows them to keep making advanced weapons? One word answer: Experience.

Salient points:- Minimal redesign effort needed: BrahMos was designed in a manner so that once we become part of the MTCR, we can quickly double the range of the existing version. Smaller BrahMos submarine launch variant also to be designed. Putin revealed to Russian media that the deal took...

WT(ACTUAL)F? Dude. In case you have not noticed, India is a rival of China (And I am sugarcoating the heck out of this statement). We are developing hypersonic technology to keep our missile capability relevant in the face of advancing Chinese missile defence systems. Why would we bother...

Now that we are a signatory to the MTCR, why are we not developing longer range Brahmos II? Oh......ok. Any source for this?

I would not call a 40 km high flight-profile "low altitude". Its just a depressed trajectory. Helps to avoid very early detection and interception by ABMs. Brahmos can fly a few meters above sea-level. That is the sort of profile that makes a difference against SAMs. That is what I would call...

What this photograph does not say :- The system plans to target any location on Earth with a precision strike in under 2 hours. The BMD can only protect against MRBMs. ICBMs need to be intercepted prior to re-entry. Therefore I hope they plan to develop an Anti-satellite capability next.
