Guys ,pls explain what are the tech required for an Anti-ship Ballistic Missile? How the enemy ships are detected and engaged? How will a ballistic missile achieve the high accuracy required to engage a moving target?

 

[Vamsi]

It is more than a MARV

HGV ??

Anti ship ballistic missile.

I like this color scheme vs the older schemes for our missiles but still too busy, that branding needs to be a bit subtle....superficial but still creates an impression

This should make China feel lot more vulnerable as it can easily reach a lot of their territory and cause some serious damage.

What would you have done if Agni prime was 3 mtrs more in length!!!!! Fir to tata ka trailer hi aata na..

But in this class, it addresses lot of threats on an optimal chassis...for larger distances you are getting into ICBM ranges as far as our threats go....we only have two countries and both are mostly covered with this consideration?

 

[porky_kicker]

Anyone has HD pics of A1P ?

Am asking because my fuxking net slowed down

 

[omaebakabaka]

Is it me or just using that "textbook" launch description is annoying for a perfect launch? Just say successful launch and all parameters are met or something like that rather than this phrase, India seems to be the only one that is still stuck with this usage and the reporters parroting that is even more annoying?

 

[NeXoft007]

Agni 1P is surely better than DF-21C. Have both EM Actuated Fins & Side Thrusters along with High Accuracy.

It's now upto DRDO to integrate a 700kg Anti-Ship Vehicle onboard with upto 450 kilos of explosives onboard without compromising its 2000km reach and make it comparable to DF-21D.

Sir i 100 percent agree with you..i was only talking ugly unergonomic rocket carriers made by drdo..

You need p-8i and similar working like SMART weapon basically this means it can already be done.

Arre, porks will be again with JUNGI JUNOON and what not, waiting for china copy to be launched.

Although I am more exited about this weapon being used for china massed artillery.

DRDO successfully flight tests New Generation Agni P Ballistic Missile


Posted On: 28 JUN 2021 12:21PM by PIB Delhi



Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) successfully flight tested a New Generation Nuclear Capable Ballistic Missile Agni P from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam island off the coast of Odisha, Balasore at 1055 hrs on June 28, 2021. Various telemetry and radar stations positioned along the eastern coast tracked and monitored the missile. The missile followed text book trajectory, meeting all mission objectives with high level of accuracy.


Agni P is a new generation advanced variant of Agni class of missiles. It is a canisterised missile with range capability between 1,000 and 2,000 kms.

Totally, and one expression even more annoying is 'copybook launch' Ugh! Congrats to DRDO for Agni-P.

Long ago I had asked whether we were working on improving our previous missile series.
This recent development has cleared my doubt. All the previous missile series will be upgraded to it's maximum capability.

 

[Karthi]

few thoughts from my part ( may be wrong)

Agni 1P using technologies developed for K4 and Agni 5.

Canister top cover is visible in the pic , so may be it can be stored in ready to fire for long time.

Cold launch.

Carrying Vehicle looks more like A4 Launcher , camouflage looks like A5.

Even though it looks like earlier A5 models , it is only has half a length of A5 width may be similar( i guess 6-8m just assumed by looking into the pic) . so it may be easily transportable in mountain terrain.

Maneuverable re entry vehicle with 4 fins, it may also be fitted with 2-3 MIRVs????

With a single MaRV it may also be use as Anti ship ballistic missile , if provided with target position updates( or may be a variant can do ).

Agni-5 has 10-80m CEP , A1P may have better CEP even 50m CEP is enough to sink Junk Fighter carriers.

A1P using composites make it very light weight

A needed addition to our arsenal. Anti ship cruise missiles are limited in range compared to ASBM. But the biggest difficulty is in getting target coordinates in real time especially for a moving ship for use by the ASBM.

We are on the road to get a rival to the Chinese DF21d. This missile will be a threat to all aircraft carriers. Though mainly intended for China it also provides deterrence against US CBG. This possibility is low as the US and India presently have very close relations.

Some people may justifiably remember the USS Enterprise episode during the 1971 Bangladesh war. But having an deterrent does not mean that we envisage using it.

Anyway China is the imminent threat to India and probably we can target their aircraft carriers in the South China Sea if needed. Caveat being guidance data being available.

Now that he has said it, it looks like a twin launcher.
