Agni V Missile test launch

[balai_c]

so it is irbm(intermidiate range balliatic
missile)

Warriorextreme, the range of this missile is at the magic boundary of ICBM and IRBM. Anything higher than this would be regarded an ICBM. So, I IMHO, this is more of a diplomatic move than actual want of capability.

vk sarswat said that even the pictures of re entry has been recorded by ships in ocean...cant wait to see those pics

check the great pics of the launch here

next stop ASAT and SLBM with 3000km range.

Congratulations to the scientists for the success of Agni V. It is truly a proud day for all of us! :thumb:

The five things you must know about Agni-V

Hope in future, range would be close to 7,000 Km. So that we can launch A5 from anywhere in India to Anywhere in China!

Am i late to the party?

congratulations to all....

next stop ASAT and SLBM with 3000km range.

Why saya ? It should be atleast more than 5k.

India tests Agni-V missile; capable of reaching China

India has successfully test-fired Agni-V, its first Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM). Agni-V is capable of reaching deep into Asia and Europe, a move that would bring the emerging power into a small club of nations with intercontinental defense capabilities. India has a no-first-use policy and says its nuclear weapons and missiles are for defensive purposes only. Here are 15 things to know about the missile:

#1 :With the launch of Agni-V, India will enter the exclusive Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile club of only the permanent members of the UN Security Council - China, Russia, France, the United States and the United Kingdom.

#2 : The nuclear warhead-enabled Agni-V, with a range of more than 5,000 kilometers, will be India's longest-range missile.

#3 : The surface-to-surface missile Agni-V that can carry a pay-load of 1 tonne is 17 m long, 2 m wide and weighs 50 tonnes.

#4 : The Agni V is designed to be the most advanced version of the indigenously built Agni series. Its 3 stages are powered by solid rocket propellants and can be transported by road. The first rocket engine of Agni-V lifts it a height of about 40 km; the second stage take it up to about 150 km, while the third stage propels it about 300 km above the planet. The missile can finally achieve a height of 800 km.

#5 : With a development cost of over Rs 2,500 crore, the Agni-V is will have ring laser gyroscope and accelerometer for navigation and guidance.

#6 : The nuclear warhead-enabled Agni-V extends India's reach to the whole of Asia and Europe.

#7 : The test will take place from the launch pad-4 of the Integrated Test Range. The three stage solid fuelled missile would be put into test for the first time with some advance and indigenous technology with the support of a canisterised mobile launcher.

#8 : On the event of Agni-V test fire, countries like Indonesia, Australia, international air and maritime traffic in the test zone will be alerted well before the test as the missile will travel halfway across the Indian Ocean.

#9 : The maiden test of India's indigenously developed nuclear capable 'Agni-V' ballistic missile will be held on Wheeler Island off the Orissa coast.

#10 : The accuracy levels of Agni-V with better guidance and navigation systems, is far higher than Agni-I, Agni-II and Agni-III.

#11 : The Agni-V missile has a 1,500-km longer range, as compared to the Agni-III which has a range of 3,500 km. Agni-V can blast enemy satellites in orbit and can also launch small satellites.

#12 : The payload capacity of Agni-V has been reduced leading to an increase in its range.

#13 : Agni-V will be ready for induction in the Indian armed forces in 2014-15.

#14 : Agni-V can travel faster than a bullet, carrying a nuclear weapon of about 1,000 kg. It can be fired from a mobile platform, which could be anywhere in India.

#15 : However, it can be launched only on the direct order of the prime minister of India.

Why saya ? It should be atleast more than 5k.

lol, dont give trouble to your future enemy, you need tech from them and we have to keep them happy.

 

[wrigsted]

Congratulations India, truly world class workmanship. You have good reason to be proud of your achievement, your people who made "‹"‹it possible, and your country!
A salute here from Denmark.

lol, dont give trouble to your future enemy, you need tech from them and we have to keep them happy.

What if our submarines are in Indian ocean, you want it to travel for few days and then launch the missile ? SLBM with 5k range should be the starter.

Now China is just 20 Min away from us.

Next step is to have Agni-V on submarine: ex-Navy chief

New Delhi: Terming the successful launch of Agni-V as a proud moment for the country, former navy chief Admiral Arun Prakash on Thursday said that the next step should be to put an indigenous inter-continental ballistic missile on an indigenous nuclear submarine, which will make India's nuclear deterrent invulnerable and omnipotent.

"The next step is to put the same capability on a nuclear submarine which can disappear into the deep blue ocean and that will make out nuclear deterrent invulnerable. This should be our eventual aim. Then we can says we have actually achieved strategic autonomy," the Admiral told CNN-IBN.

He said that the launch actually makes India's nuclear deterrent credible and all the potential adversaries would take note of Agni-V's test launch.

On the possible response of the international community after the test-firing, he said, "We are no first use country and nobody needs to be worried unless they have some bad intentions towards India," he said.

The former naval chief also cautioned the scientists that the weapon has to be as accurate as it can be. "Agni-V is a logical step in a progression of acquiring nuclear deterrent capabilities but the next step is to put these capabilities under water," he said, adding that the task is not going to be easy.

On the need for launching missiles of more range than Agni-V, he said, "I don't think we need missiles of very longer ranges, 5000-6000 kms is more than enough."

In the past, he said the DRDO was rightly criticised for missing targets, overstating their capabilities and exaggerating claims. "But propellant technologies don't come easily. Our scientists have done a tremendous job."

why we should be hurry to launch our missile, if enemy knows that we got them and we can launch them it, itself is great deterrence. We will get about 5-8 nuke subs in next 10-15 years.

Instant retaliation, no waiting if we are attacked. Land based missiles with 5k range is good enough but for SLBM it should have more than 5k.

No point in having 750km and 3000km range missiles. I want a true ICBM in our Arihants.

A MILLION Thanks and Heart felt GRATITUDE to DRDO from a very grateful nation


Keep going DRDO

May DRDO achieve much much more success in future

I for one have always maintained a positive attitude whenever there is criticism of DRDO / ISRO
in any discussion

According to Dr. W. Selvamurthy, Almost 2000 scientists, industries, armed forces participated in Agni-V launch.

"Minimum of 3-4 tests to declare Agni V operational." Bharat Karnad.

This missile is very accurate & has capability of multiple targeting: Dr. W. Selvamurthy. MIrV ?

Well it is a nose cut for the Chinese member who said that INDIA will fail in its first test. Now the Chinese will come to the table to negotiate about the border dispute with us..........

BE READY FOR THE AGNI 5

sounds like our ICBM is not indigenous.

 

[A chauhan]

Arihant with SLBM will horrify any enemy, but i do not agree with ex- Navy chief Admiral Arun Prakash's this statement-
"I don't think we need missiles of very longer ranges, 5000-6000 kms is more than enough."

what if we get blocked by Aircraft carriers and enemy submarines at a long distance ?

 

[sesha_maruthi27]

sounds like our ICBM is not indigenous.

He meant that he wants AGNI 5 on board the ATV INS Arihant.
