Indian Missile News And Discussion

[emperor]

I seriously doubt the authenticity of the above report. In a war time scenario, YES a launch from civilian positions highly possible. But during testing phase? a big NO NO.



Looks like someone got the stuff mixed up. Forsure the next follow on test will be from launcher with new composite first stage. DRDO was given a mandate to expedite the process in the realization of a fully operational ICBM.Dont even get surprised if you see 2 more A-V tests before the end of this year.



MOD was in a big mess. Lots of sensitive docs has changed hands thereby throwing the national security at a high risk. And to deter the only possible aggressor,it is expediting every deterrent and procurement that really comes handy.



There was also talk of ABM getting into LSP. This will operationally supplement the S-300PMU in the Capital zone in the beginning and latter will take over the role with new mizziles.



Upgraded LRTR is almost done.One tune up is done,ready for testing.This can be expected before the summer of 2013.

A 10 numbers of LRTR with 600-800km range were already ordered.



Even the current LRTR configuration is picking satellites in the LEO under different modes of operation.
