Two points I would like to raise.

1. The question regarding weather the sagarika was a cruise or a ballistic missile is answered. It is both. If indeed the navalized version of the Shaurya is the sagarika.



2. Since the Agni-2AT has not yet been unveiled, is it possible that this can be an extended ranged shaurya? Or a follow on to shaurya? After all why is DRDO taking all these years to unveil what was supposedly a tweak to a much tested system. I wonder if the time that is being taken means further capabilities.

From Arun's article on Agni Strategic missiles



4000 km @ 750 kg payload (Agni II)



4000 km @ 1500 kg payload (Agni II(AT))



We are looking at increase in range and payload for Agni II (AT).



According to Arun, Agni II (AT) will be mass produced.









4000 km is a good range to target China's economic powerhouse cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong with heavy payloads

4000 km @ 2500 to 3000 kg payload
