Agni 5 tested with a lofted trajectory ..................

We need to see whether MoD release the pic of the missile. They may have tested a different warhead config. The missile is now ready to be inducted.

Besides guidance and seeker tech you need to validate the structural strength and the aerodynamics of the missile. So we need to test the AD-1 / 2 missile itself.

And AAD and PDV are operatnl

I also mentioned flight control towards end.

If we look at AD-1 and 2, they are basically two staged AAD and PAD, atleast in pics and as of now.

As you could see, the first stage is basically fuel stage to reach distance and gain altitude. So teh structural integrity tests could be carried out with the current AAD missiles. This might, now I am saying again, this might be the reason why we had seen more of AAD tests then PAD in recent past.

Looks like the pic from today's test we can see DRDO and SFC printed on the cannister..Might be the first production variant A5 test

I was expecting different warheads on the top ... Looks like have to wait for few more years...

I seriously hope you are right.

And please almighty above ... Please make these folks at DRDO put ship based helicopter down range to get some sweet "Splash" zone pics or video (not the potato quality we generally get)

I'm seriously getting itchy about the fact that Nirbhay LACMs aren't being tested more often.
I almost always hope that @kurup post a NOTAM for a 800-1500km warning area.

I second it. It's been too long we have seen some significant strides there...

User assisted trial. Induction will be in 2019 as per H K Rout.

Either it will be Pralay or it is going to be AD-1 or 2.
Interesting times ahead.

India all set to test long range Pralay, K5 to stalemate China soon

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) is set to throw up some pleasant surprises early next year. Along with the induction of 5,000-km range surface-to-surface ballistic missile Agni-V, the premier defence research agency is readying for the maiden test of its long range Submarine Launched Ballistic Missile (SLBM) K-5.

K-5 missile developed under the secret ‘K Series’ project is the fastest missile in its class and can deliver nuclear warhead of more than one tonne 5,000 km away. The three-stage missile propelled by solid propellants can deceive enemy radar making it more lethal. While 750-km range K-15 (B-05) and 3,500 km range K-4 of the K-family have already been test fired successfully several times and are in the process of induction, the newly developed K-5 will add more teeth to the arsenal.

Defence sources said the missile will be flight tested from a submersible pontoon launcher in Bay of Bengal off Visakhapatnam coast for a suppressed range to validate some new technology incorporated in the system before it is put under tests for full range in operational configuration.“The K-5 missile was sanctioned in 2015. The weapon system is now being readied for initial phase trials. Though the test window has not been finalised, it is expected to fly in the sky soon.

A successful trial would pave the way for the development of its longer range cousin K-6,” said a senior defence official.With India perceiving China as a potential threat, the focus now seems to have been laid on development and deployment of long range missiles having underwater launch capabilities.

The K-5 missile will undergo a series of developmental trials before its induction in armed forces. It will equip S4 nuclear powered submarine, currently under development. Indigenously developed INS Arihant submarine, which completed sea patrol recently, will be equipped with K-15 and K-4 missiles.

Before the K-5 trial, the DRDO is also planning for first test of surface-to-surface tactical Short Range Ballistic Missile (SRBM) Pralay from a defence base off Odisha coast on December 18.



Earlier planned in September, the test was reportedly deferred for administrative reasons.

The much faster and accurate Pralay has a strike range upto 500 km and weighs around five tonne. It can be compared with China’s Dongfeng 12 and Russia’s 9K720 Iskander, both short-range tactical ballistic missiles.“Preparation is also on for a user trial of 4,000 km range Agni-IV missile by the Strategic Forces Command. The missile will be fired in a lofted trajectory like the recent test of Agni-V. The trial is likely to be conducted on December 26,” the official added.

Any news on this?

It seems the impending cyclone is going to put things on hold for today and tomorrow.
