Indian Missile News And Discussion

[ramana]

Folks, Read the book "Lightning Bolts" by William Yengst posted above. While it describes the early US developments, it also has chapters on India, China and Russia. The big aha moment for me was it made me understand the Indian strategy of the MRVs for the Agni, coupled with the small yields and how it constitutes an assured retaliatory strike in case of breakdown. I am willing to make this prediction. As future arms control limits come into play between US and Russia they will scrap their current pure ballistic RVs and changeover to MRVs.



BTW we now understand the long flight times for the Agni RVs! And what Shourya is! Its a powered boost glide vehicle. It never leaves the atmosphere making it difficult for sats to detect it.
