More of a variety and Range gaps measuring contest.We have to make our systems from sratch mister unlike you who can beg and borrow from the DPRK or PRC
The above mentioned post reeks of a classic example of dick measuring
Who told you sir our systems are not deployed
We are under no obligations international or otherwise to let anyone know of our deployments
more like checking if the chinese north korean supplied missiles have all the necessary components in place and in working condition one at at time due to the out of the world performance of ruhani/jinn infused cold testing technique of the porkies:biggrin2:What does this exactly mean? .....
Is this a joke listen sunfbumble there is something called doctrin your ranges are almost the same because your number one enemy is india therefore this uniformity in range while we have to keep both extrems only short range for you and a long range for your iron gigoloMore of a variety and Range gaps measuring contest.
There are very large gaps between ranges of Indian missiles with nothing in between to cover those gaps. Such problem doesn't exist with Pakistani Arsenal, hence better planned and better thought out .
No not a Joke.'Is this a joke listen sunfbumble there is something called doctrin your ranges are almost the same because your number one enemy is india therefore this uniformity in range while we have to keep both extrems only short range for you and a long range for your iron gigolo
Large weapon and electronics chamber on Pakistan's Nasr Quasi Ballistic missile.
The missile is armed with Neutron bomb for penetrating Netron radiation burst disabling Men and machine in a large area if not necessarily Kill and destroy.
Theoretically any nuclear weapon under 10 Kiloton yield is a neutron weapon by virtue of very high neutron emission at detonation.
Larger warheads had outer shells absorbing high energy neutrons using them as trigger for fuhrer nuclear reactions.
Of course the Indian superiority complex...because it is rooted in fact as proven all over the world. We are superior human beings compared to you pakis.Its a very common Indian superiority complex online.
In the last 3 years i have barely posted 100 messages here so that shows my level of enthusiasm.
I doubt prithvi2 and prithvi 3 will be retired. P2 and P3 use more advanced liquid fuel than P1 and are much cheaper than solid fuel missiles.All the Prithvi will be retired in next 4 to 5 years only agni series will be left and logistics cost will reduce.
Agni 4 has 6000km range and agni 5 has 10000 km range.Also try looking at Google maps . For the currently longest range Indian Missile the Agni-4 to have any chance of hitting Major cities of China Beijing and Shanghai. It will have to be fired from far north of Odessa in east of India and from borders of Kashmir in the west. Anything south of that and the Agni-4 will reach far less populated areas of China which won't have much impact.
However the retaliation from China will be unimaginable.
So as someone in this tread mentioned that India keeps developing missiles while Pakistan isn't.
So looking at the above facts it makes perfect sense for India to keep trying and improving the range of their missiles,so that eventually after some years they reach parity with China . China as of now can hit anywhere in India from anywhere in China.
But India is far off from having that capability.
and the basis of your claim is?Agni 4 has 6000km range and agni 5 has 10000 km range.
No evedence of or official word on K-15 being deployed. No pics or vids to prove that either.Gha
Ghauri is an outdated liquid fuel missile which uses old generation liquid fuel tech and most likely is being retired. You are counting different versions of same missile as different missiles. Also having more types of missiles unnecessarily raises costs .All major powers have only 2-3 types of missiles. For eg both US and Russia are moving towards 2 missile type arsenal. US with Minuteman for land based and Trident for sea based. Russia for Sarmat for land and Bulava for sea. In India's case ,I suppose the currrent missile inventory is more than sufficient. Also I would hope agni 3 and agni 5 are replaced by agni 6. Having more variety of missiles is actually bad . Moreover you have not included K15 which is deployed, K4 which is developed and in process of deployment like Shaheen 3 and Pralay/Shaurya QBM whichwill be a tactical nuclear/conventional missile.
I have already provided a link in my other posts of Agni 5 having range of 10000km. APJ Abdul Kalam is on record saying that Agni 2 can go upto 3500km vector and attempt to increase its range in a newer version (which is now called Agni 4) will take it upto 6000km . Arihant is already conducting deterrrence patrols which is known to everyone so it is obvious that K15 is deployed as K4 is 1-2 years from deployment. As I said India rarely announces true ranges of its missile.No evedence of or official word on K-15 being deployed. No pics or vids to prove that either.
Have you any links to prove?
well any news of they are still in production ?I doubt prithvi2 and prithvi 3 will be retired. P2 and P3 use more advanced liquid fuel than P1 and are much cheaper than solid fuel missiles.
Mr.Kalam may have been talking about possibilities not ground realities.I have already provided a link in my other posts of Agni 5 having range of 10000km. APJ Abdul Kalam is on record saying that Agni 2 can go upto 3500km vector and attempt to increase its range in a newer version (which is now called Agni 4) will take it upto 6000km .

As I said India rarely announces true ranges of its missile.
For A5 range against China, its MIRVed and range can be extended upto 8500 km but bringing down the payload. China has raised the issue for a reason.No not a Joke.'
You asked what was the purpose of my post and comparison and i replied.
About Covering China. I am not sure if whole of China is covered by Indian missiles?
Agni-5 isn't deployed yet and still being tested. Even when it is deployed even then all of china cannot be hit from anywhere in India .
From southern tip of India the north east of China is 6200 Km > Agni-5 when deployed will have 5500 Km range with a warhead heavy enough to have strategic blast. Use a lighter warhead for higher range and likewise blast yield will be lower and no point in making yourself vulnerable to massive Chinese retaliation.
As of now only 4000 Km Agni-4 is deployed and ready and that is insufficient.
India will eventually get there but after a few years.
As of now we Pakistanis are very happy with India's constant provocation of china as we keep getting goodies from China as a result and our missiles improve without much effort from us.
Sop do i have a problem with Agni-5 , Agni-4 and other upcoming china specific missiles ? Not at all
Just because you wrote the versions of Shaheen and not of Indian Missiles to make your list long, that doesn't change the fact that it's rare that India doesn't operate any kind missile which Pak has but same is not vice versa!:biggrin2:
Currently Pakistan has 11 Types of Deployed Nuclear armed missiles and two in Development while deployed. Total of 13.
Ghauri-1
Ghauri-2
Abdali
Ghaznavi

Agni-5 Not deployed yet. K-series not deployed yet. Nirbhay not deployed yet.
Total types of Indian deployed nuclear missiles 8
My post was about "Nuclear capable" missiles only but you included Indian weapons without any declared Nuclear capability. USA has tested Nuclear weapon from Artillery cannons but that doesn't make the whole artillery regiment a nuclear force. A country has to demonstrate and announce it's capability of Hurling nuclear weapons on certain platforms to make it count as nuclear. That's called Nuclear deterrence and can only be achieved if people know about it and evidence presented by the country. No point in keeping nuclear weapons hidden as it won't deter anyone as nobody knows about them?For A5 range against China, its MIRVed and range can be extended upto 8500 km but bringing down the payload. China has raised the issue for a reason.
Plus, if you are questioning capability of a country to cover China who can throw it's spacecraft 485 million miles deep in outer space, you are a fool.
Just because you wrote the versions of Shaheen and not of Indian Missiles to make your list long, that doesn't change the fact that it's rare that India doesn't operate any kind missile which Pak has but same is not vice versa!:biggrin2:
Shaheens or Abdali, all are either short range or medium range.
Is there even a single IRBM in your list? No.
Even you tried to squeeze Indian list and you are only including Indian Ballistic Missiles, even then, Agnis dwarfed them.
Not complete list for Indian Missiles,
Trishul (Retired)
Akask SAM
Prithvi-1
Prithvi-2
Prithvi-3
Dhanush
Agni-1
Agni-2
Agni-3 (two versions)
Agni-4 (MaRV)
And there's only one pending test for Agni-5.
K-15 Sagarika SLQBM (Hyperspace Submarine Launched Missile)
BrahMos LACM
Prahar (Tactical Battlefield Ballistic Missile) (Similar to Nasr but unlike Pakistanis, Indians don't go Gaga over small missiles)
Barak 8 LRSAM
Pradyumna(Exo Atmospheric Interceptor)
Ashwin (Endo Atmospheimric Interceptor, being inducted while testing)
There are very few sorts of missiles
In Pipe:
Agni-V (just one test pending)
Agni-VI ICBM
Agni-1P
Nirbhay LACM/ALCM/SLCM
K-4 SLIRBM
Shaurya (QBM)
NGARM (Anti Radiation)
I'm not including basic weapons like Torpedoes, AAMs, Howitzers which Pak doesn't have.
This list may help you,

Even then, the issue of variants is there, Agni-3 has.My post was about "Nuclear capable" missiles only but you included Indian weapons without any declared Nuclear capability.
Or adding more powerful motor, India has a lot of them.Mounting an MIRV stage will need removal of third stage from Agni,and reduction of range.
Or multiple small warheads.Currently it can only carry one warhead on top of a triangular third stage which gives it the range of 5500 KM.
It's around 500 kilometres!It goes into Rather depressed trajectory of 350 Kilometers altitude.
Weight to range to ratio highest? What kind of joke is this?
