Here at DFI we had a nuanced debate on having not tested actual fuse on warhead resealed by BM payload. The debate ended when Videos of fuse triggered blast of conventional explosives before impact were released by DRDO during test of one of Agni series BM. @LETHALFORCE @DFIlite @bennedose...

I am not too sure what you are implying here. I am a watcher not strategic command warehouse keeper. There are no punching above or below when it comes to nuclear deterrence. Nukes will fly when the circumstances will match the doctrine criteria. Indian scientists and top political leadership...

If I am watching it correctly we will not use new tests for pure scientific or capability enhancing purposes. We have reserved that privilege for any serious geo political mess or altercation that will require a hard reset. Our capabilities are good enough to deter anyone. We need more focus...

I was told there are few special ones above 500 kt.

Also Rail network. They will be launched from moving or stationed train bogies.

Tests are done in labs which reduces the frequency of testing them physically. Mangalyaan was conceived and planned in labs and then sent for the real mission. Unlike olden days when they had to physically test which other member is attributing as some kind of achievement.

There is a lot of ambiguity with range and load capacity of Indian missiles. Any information as open source can not be taken as Gospel's truth.

I will go by what they publicly announce. And in my understanding it's good enough to look after our immediate and near future threats. IMO one word that can describe the range constrains is the 'Software'. Every extra 100 meter added is a new coding, new calculations, new flight profile and...

Conclusion of the author are vague and shallow. Production of nukes can be increased given we have surplus fissile material. Every time there is tension the cogs get extra lube. Our ambiguity is not an hindrance but deterrence. Only an arm chair expert would draw doubt as we are not disclosing...

These cowards have gone so low that now they are protecting terrorist who killed scores of Indians in various terrorist attacks including 26/11 Mumbai.

It also tells present government is screwing China in a big way that now they oozing bile from their ass.

China-man is rattled. They wanted to bully India by prompting Pakistan but ended up loosing the balance yet again. I hope they will learn to hold this pork soup of strategic balance with the help of Pakistan.

Your skepticism is tenable. Until unless we do not have arsenal to overwhelm Chinese military assets with conventional BM force Agni V will remain only a tool of deterrence. Without MIRV and credible robust BM triad with multi launch hardened silos backed by long rage (X-band) radars...

1. Depressed Trajectory. = Low radar profile = more complex computer logarithm on board = more range options. Well done. Next frontiers should be MIRV test, work on cone profile if required for MIRV, decrease weight and height, hoping canister are robust, low maintenance and increasing shelf...

Isn't this missile more bulkier and taller than DF-31, even we are using carbon/ composite material?
