Thanks for your inputs on warheads.
your articles on strategic missiles were awesome !! Cleared up lot of things !!
According to your Shourya pdf article,
550 kg of FBF warhead can yield 150 kilotons !!
and one more clarification
Agni III (3B) variant with 3 or 4 stages would be called as Agni IV, right ??
I do have some friends working for DRDO. They gave some information about Nirbhay long range cruise missile.
Russians have been employed to fix the Turbofan engine problems. Launcher is also getting ready in Pune. We are looking at 4 Nirbhay missiles on each launcher !!
Dr. Santhanam was on Headlines today for an interview. The news anchor was blindly saying that every test carried out during Pokhran II failed. Dr Santhanam stopped him and said, it was just TN warhead which needed more testing. He said other tests worked like a song !!
May be I assumed too much without getting in to the details !!

I was wondering when Indian turbo fan was already developed why DRDO is seeking russian help?
Its good to consolidate as many missiles on a single launcher,since Nirbhay has both tactical and strategic uses.
A battery of nirbhay with atleast 6 launchers and 4-6 missiles/launcher is a good long range artillery to strike on strategic targets with a throw weight of no less than 500kg IMHO.
Imagine some a regiment with a minimum of 4-5 such batteries deployed either on Indo-paki or in AP.. <img src='http://www.india-forum.com/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

so far pakis are boasting about their junky imported babur kruise mizzile,when we deploy Nirbhya,the psuchological effect is more than the actual conventional effect
As per the reports I had,Nirbhay MKI will have a minimum range of 1200 km and also feather an Air launched version that is suitable for almost all fighters in the IAF inventory. May be the real punch will come from Nirbhay MKII with a strike range of 2500km to be readied by 2015 while MKI is to deployed by 2012.
the point is,a kruise missile testing is a hazzle less unlike BM testing,hence prone to faster testing and induction.
DRDO rocks after all........
