“If I have a IRBM with a range of 1700KM and fire it from my back yeard will it reach kathmandu ?”

Please try and be sensible.

Flame Bait ………….:o

Question: Can a A3 reach saudi from say assam with its 4000 Km range?

Intercontinental-Range Missiles

Whilst the status of the Surya ICBM programme is unclear, some reports suggest that it is now underway and will be based largely on India’s SLV programme. In 1993, India failed to acquire four cryogenic rocket engines (advanced long-range engines which use low-temperature fuels such as liquid hydrogen and methane) from Russia following intense pressure on Moscow from the US. But in 1994, the Indian government announced in 1994 that it had set aside 3.35 billion rupees ($108 million) to enable the Cryogenic Upper Stage Project to be tested by the end of 1998, and Indian scientists claim that colleagues working in Russia have already acquired drawings of the cryogenic engine.

I doubt India wants a liquid fueled ICBM.

How come Indians love to post these kind of topics? If India buys every defence equipment on earth then I see no reason for them to put so much attention on these matters. Accept when it comes to cricket.

KSA was defended for ages by Pakistani soldiers. Now things come dangerous and even if the co-operation is truth then there is a reason for it. Just like IAF loves everything for Chinese purposes… KSA loves everything for Israeli purposes.

Its not conventional missiles we are talking about. Nuclear tipped ones with 5000 mile range. A whole new ballgame.

Time to dust off plans for Surya?:D

India tests Trishul for second day

India tests Trishul for second day
Balasore (Orissa), Dec. 19. (UNI, PTI): The indigenously built short range surface-to-air missile (SAM), “Trishul”, with an upgraded missile guidance system, was twice test-fired on the second day today from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-Sea today.

Defence scientists the sophisticated SAM twice to gauge its accuracy and various other parameters, Defence sources said.

The missile, indigenously developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), was fired from a mobile launcher on both occasions.

The solid fuel propellant missile, which can carry a warhead weighing 15 kg, has a triple battlefield role for the Army, Navy and Air Force and has a range of nine kms.

The ongoing trials were intended to gauge the accuracy and various other parameters of the missile which was about three metres in length and 200 cm in diameter, they said.

Trishul, which flies at supersonic speed, is part of India’s Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP).

ITR sources said while the first missile was test fired at 11:20 a.m. – the second was test fired at 2:45 p.m.

The missile, designed for “sea skimming” exercise for the Indian Navy, was also test-fired from the ITR yesterday at 3:20 p.m., when it was aimed at a moving object.
