In 1965, we had the Gnats. In 2021, we have the HJTs. Wahi shuddhta, wahi rude welcoming potential.

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.

Just like China is replacing it's old missiles, we are also replacing our old missiles with newer ones likes Agini-P, Pralay and many more.

We ll have our own loitering munition in future .. if more infos are there share it .

India: creation of a joint venture for loitering munitions

UVision announced the creation of a joint venture in India with Aditya Precitech. The new AVision company will be dedicated to the manufacturing and marketing of loitering munitions.

May be far-fetched but I have to throw it out there...

Does anyone think the new Prime could/may have tested Fibre-Optic gyros (FOG)-based inertial navigation as a replacement for Ring-laser gyros (RLG) across the board? RLG-INS is a far more proven tech so ideal for use in strategic systems but we've been making progress on FOG-INS for a while now, and any which way the job of the Prime BMs is nothing if not to be a testbed for new techs.

Last time a Prime was tested (2011) it served as a precursor to many techs that later found application in Agni-4 & Agni-5...like composite motor casings, elimination of vented interstages etc.

@porky_kicker need your thoughts.

Developing Any Kind Of Missile Is Not Much Of An Issue For DRDO Anymore: Satheesh Reddy | Delhi Defence Review

Saurav Jha: In the past decade, DRDO’s Research Centre Imarat (RCI) has progressed steadily in the field of interferometry. Given that background, what is the status of Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope (HRG) development at RCI?


Satheesh Reddy: It is continuing apace. The first HRG for tactical applications is actually set to be delivered this year.

Read "Tactical"

Tactical missiles (anti-tank, air-to-ground, etc etc) can always be at the forefront of adopting new technologies and obtaining feedback & improvements considering frequent test launches.

But when you are building a missile on which your nuclear deterrence is standing (i.e. Strategic missiles), you can't mess around with too many experimental things. Have to stick with proven technologies wherever you can.

With all due respect sir I am writing this not to belittle you or mock you I am writing just for the sake of healthy debate
Since we both know we can't give any concrete proof for our arguments(since we cannot say with certainty what Dr. Reddy meant),this will be my last post regarding this topic
This is how Oxford describes 'Tactical'

Yes you were right when you described it as for short range missile but it also means "carefully planned in order to achieve a particular aim"
Since both can be applied to this argument therefore here are the reasons why I find my argument true
1. Since we are talking about Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope (HRG).
If you know about it then you know it's not very affordable and that's why it's only used for strategic assets like Ballistic missile and satellites
2 DRDO have already developed a FOG based navigation for Tactical missile

Personally i doubt it

Nuclear armed missiles in dual launchers is not worth the risks

Nice to see you here bro

Single tube looks like.

 

[lcafanboy]

If you look carefully at TEL Which is based on Tatra truck it looks like it can carry 2 Agni 1 prime missiles and has a salvo feature. The next numbers too support this. 12 tons multiply by 2 24tons and supporting equipments which should be around 30-35 tons. That's the payload of Tatra truck....

It's a double trouble for Pakistan....

 

[SUPERPOWER]

There is only 1 cannister...those are just support elements to hold the cannister in the center..
