What's the source for this friends)

Nope.
11tons to be precise for the missile.
Canister weight included it's 12 tons. Earlier version of Agni 1p was 20tons. This one is built using carbon composite fully to reduce weight and has better fuel which is light in weight but gives better efficiency increasing the range...

Yeah Right. 11 Ton.

Let's have a look at one of the obsolete missile, which DRDO is still developing and testing.

A 5 ton missile carrying a 500kg warhead travels 450 km. But a 11 ton missile carrying same payload weight travels 4 times the distance. I wonder why DRDO is working on such a outdated missile? I believe they should trim down its weight to around 2 or 2.5 ton.

Moreoever, this half the A3 weight terms which many are using, lets have a look at that too.

This is a report from last A3 test.

Developed by DRDO, Agni-III has already been inducted in the armed forces in 2011. Propelled by two-stage solid propellant, it is capable of carrying both conventional and nuclear warheads weighing up to 1.5 tonnes. The missile is 17 metres tall and has a diameter of two-metre, it weighs around 50 tonne. All major cities of Pakistan and China come under its range.

Weight of A3 has been reduced, but which roohani tech brought down the weight from 48 ton to 22 ton?

What's up with Pralay by the way.. Its proving to be as elusive as Surya ICBM..
Also, will Pralay be quasi ballistic like Iskander..? Will it be canisterized..?

 

[Chinmoy]

Yes. Check weight of the missile and it's open missile and not a canister missile and so is not cold ready to use missile. Needs preparation to launch. Not good for high intensity war which may need faster response...

The only strategic missiles which remains in a ready to fire position are SLBMs. Even the road/train mobile missiles are needed to be mated with warhead before launch if those are nuke warheads.

All those Prithvi tests.........

Prahaar is a cannister based missile with 4 or 2 missile configuration per TEL.

Keep searching some of the runways,maybe you find SWIFT chilling there?

Can't India make this

Developed by Ares Shipyard and Meteksan Defense partnership, Turkey’s first armed USV ULAQ will go under mass-production, Head of Turkish Defense Industries Presidency, Ismail Demir stated during Antalya Diplomacy Forum held between 18-20 June.

“We start mass-production of ULAQ. Just as we have seen our UAVs in the field of operation more than once, you will see several versions of USVs (Unmanned Sea Vehicles),” said Mr Demir during the event.

The ULAQ was initially launched at sea in January and began trials. The production of the coast control station, which was developed to control the craft from land, has also been completed. It completed the sea trials in the first week of May and has hit a land target with a laser-guided Cirit missile with pinpoint accuracy in its first firing conducted as part of the ongoing Denizkurdu 2021 naval exercise.

The developing companies, Ares Shipyard and Meteksan, announced the ASW variant of the Unmanned Surface Combat Vehicle (USCV) on 23 April.

Mass production of such systems don't suit our needs. We are working on such projects and recently a prototype has been demonstrated. But most of them are for surveillance rather then attack.

Can you find the source of this

This can't be true unless that mating is sort of like "plugging in"....there must be some that are deployable in seconds or few minutes at max?

Is this a in-house development?

 

[NeXoft007]

Yeah Right. 11 Ton.

Pralay Missile have 350kg and 700kg payload options, not 500-1000kg payload. Those fake infos in the brochure is intentional. Range claim & weight of the missile in the brochure is too distorted (by a considerable margin). I know the actual weight of Pralay Missile, but imma not disclose it.

Cutting the payload in half, from 1 ton to 0.5 ton, and achieving an increase of 50km (350km to 400km) is preposterous.

 

[NeXoft007]

Anyways, both K15 & SMART should be considered to assess the capabilities of Pralay Missile. K15 being upto a ton heavier than Pralay... SMART being lighter than Pralay.

Pralay can reach 900-1000km without breaking a sweat with its minimum payload of 350kg.
