may be, my best guess, Agni P with Maneuverable Anti Ship Vehicle with RF sensor [3rd stage]

That steel weight of 11,000kg blows the cover
There's only one missile with that weight

 

[Chinmoy]

So Agni P it is then...

With the provided dimension, it is bigger then Agni P.

DRDO easily can make a new one, hence may be
DRDO can design entirely a new missile based on the experience gained from agni P and develop a 1000~2000km range Anti ship ballistic missile or quasi BM

With the provided dimension, it is bigger then Agni P.

Maybe they're simulating the launch canister instead of just the missile
And and for extra length it maybe the new glide vehicle

 

[standard snowball]

So Agni P it is then...

Makes sense, we have been hearing about the anti shop variant of Agni prime for quite some time now.
Diameter is only wide enough to support Agni Prime (canister has 1.4 m diameter, missile is 1.2 m in diameter)
Other missiles with similar diameter are too heavy and too large (K4 and PDV)

Length seems a bit off, but maybe the MaRV warhead will be modified to make it more maneuverable so the length is increased.

Weight is also identical (11000kg)

 

[Lonewarrior]

Navy is likely to prefer sea skimming missile for anti ship role over any missile with ballistic trajectory.

Where are you Bhaiya!
I'm missing you
🥲

 

[Arpuster]

I said navy will “Prefer”, Agni P is nuclear missile probably for specific Carrier Killer role i.e. a deterrence rather than tactical weapon.
Regarding NASM MR, there are many qualities in a cruise missile than just stealth or speed which can be improved. For eg. range, ability to carry higher weapon load, loitering ability etc. Besides NASM MR provides a cheaper and lighter option to brahmos ng and perhaps loitering capabilities. Also, being indigenous it will save cost of importing Kh 35.
DRDO STAR is as I said another option. Can be developed for export or use by navy.

Where are you Bhaiya!

Bhaiyya ji btaya tha pehle bhi its for specific carrier killer role and a deterrence rather than tactical weapon. Moreover, there is no alternative in sea skimming role for Agni-P. Baaki jaisa bhi aapko uchit lge.

I was wrong there. The container is 14 mtr in length and 1.4 mtr in diameter. The missile which would go in is nearly 20 ton in mass.
So it might be a A-P variant.

 

[porky_kicker]

AD says its HGV.
@porky_kicker pls enlighten us sir.

I already posted earlier on LRAShM multiple times

AFAIK based on scant info I have IMO powered HGV based on A1P
But understand hypersonic phase is not end to end
Terminal phase will be high supersonic for greater accuracy in order to hit a moving target

Anyways there seems to be another program which is not based on A1P

Hybrid missile??

 

[porky_kicker]

Hybrid missile??

There seems to be conflict in the info I have

One seems to be a quasi ballistic missile with a KV which is literally a powered HGV, it has a new stubby booster, which I believe we will see in LRLLHCM too

Another one seems to be based on A1P with a powered HGV, same as above literally a KV

Difficult to tell given the lack of info, maybe they are iterations of same designs or 2 systems offering different capabilities but for more or less same purpose with different propulsion, aerodynamic characteristics for the final stage aka KV either HGV powered or unpowered or HCM which will obviously be powered all along

 

[porky_kicker]

Just for reference

LRLLHCM??Long Range Low Level Hypersonic Cruise Missile or Long Range Land Launched Hypersonic Cruise Missile???

 

[porky_kicker]

LRLLHCM??Long Range Low Level Hypersonic Cruise Missile???

Long range land launched hypersonic cruise missile

 

[NoobWannaLearn]

 

[porky_kicker]

Another one for reference


Note the L/D ratio , IMO will match form factor of1st & if required additional stage of A1P

Let's see

 

[porky_kicker]

Just for reference

Personally speaking this one will be the precursor to Scramjet based HCM

Drdo will replace the KV which is basically a SRM powered HGV with a KV powered by Scramjet ie HCM (hypersonic cruise missile)
