A thought just occured to me.



Is it possible that the Agni II AT will be a longer ranged shourya - a Shourya-II?

It'll be capable of delivering love and affection 4000 kms away.

If you go back to the 23rd and 24th pages, there is some good information on Agni II (AT).



Arun mentioned in one of his comments





"The 1.3 m diameter Agni-2AT could carry a nose faring to carry the single RV along with penetration aids.

For 1,000 Kg payload range will be > 4,000 Km, and

for 600 Kg payload > 6,000 km"



Agni II (AT) is a long range Hypersonic Boost Glide Missile.



I think we are looking at



1. 550 kg FBF warhead with 150 kilotons yield or 350 kg FBF warhead with 50 kilotons yield for range above 6000 km.



It will be really a big achievement by India.



US is also working on something similar under their "Prompt Global Strike" program



"Prompt Global Strike (PGS): We’ll have the surgical hypersonic missile strike to your door, anywhere in the world, in one hour or less…or your pizza’s free"
