The first stage booster's 250 maraging steel casing has been replaced with composites which has reduced the overall missile weight by beyond 20 percent.
That is definitely a mis-presentation.
Original Agni-5 was 50 tones, so 20 percent is 10 tones. In other words, as modern rocket, the first stage shell of the original Agni-5 weighted more than 10 tones, this material is even worse than V2 rocket.

More likely, the reduction means 20% of the first stage shell weight.

How easy are these steps? Well US has already done this in early 70s, so ya.
Really? You know that missile US tested in 1970s was a small one with only 5 tones weight and 12 m length, right? And they failed.

Now coming to weight.
Agni-5 is 17.5m long and weighs about 55t.
Cargo hold of C-17 is 25m long and can hold 77t.

In case US denies us C-17, still we can get around this. Remember our good ol Gajraj?
Cargo hold length of 17.5m and capacity of 60t.
Sure, how are you going to push the missile out of the plane? By sliding rail from back side?
Or open a dropping gate at the bottom of belly?

Either way, you need redesign the whole structure of the plane. I don't see India has that capability without American assistance.

Minuteman 1B; 40 tones and 16 m length

And they failed.
No; Air Mobile Feasibility Demonstration was a success.

Sure, how are you going to push the missile out of the plane?
Buy pulling it. Read carefully, I've mentioned drag chutes.

By sliding rail from back side?
Yes; already mentioned.

Either way, you need redesign the whole structure of the plane.
No; no one redesigned C-130 for MOAB or C-5 for LGM-30

Anything else?

Good to see Private Indian Co.s being given the opportunity to present and demo their products to the visiting guests, as well as to the Indian Army itself at such a platform.

BMD radar site ?
IMG-20221219-WA0053.jpg


Yes.

Two radars at the site . One is a UHF band radar and the other is S band. The S band radar can provide fire control fidelity targetting data to BMD interceptors.

IAF calls them VLRTR.

And the best thing about the site is the lower ranging radar among the two can cover a volume of airspace almost till the Iran Iraq boundary.
