India crosses the ballistic missile threshold

Posted by Matt in November 30th, 2006

The DRDO shoots down criticism of its track record with a new Prithvi interceptor missile. Rajiv Singh reports.

On Monday 27 November, 2006, with the successful interception of one Prithvi surface-to-surface ballistic missile by another modified Prithvi at high altitude over the Bay of Bengal, India announced its entry into the high technology arena of ballistic missile defence’ (BMD).

Even as the country’s newly anointed defence minister, A K Anthony, rushed to offer his congratulations to the Defence and Research Development Organisation (DRDO) scientists, defence analysts at home adopted a prudent posture with regard to the development. They had sufficient reasons to be prudent given DRDO’s patchy track record in developing high-tech defence systems for the country’s defence services.

India's Integrated Guided Missile Program- Agni I --Part 2
Agni-III is the third in the Agni series of missiles. The Agni I has a range of 700-800 km. Agni I is PAKISTAN SPECIFIC and the Agni-II as a range of 2,000--2,500 km which is used to target western china and pakistan. They are claimed to be a part of the "credible deterrence" against China and Pakistan. The Agni-II can only reach some parts of western China. With the successful test of Agni-III, which has a range of 3500 kms, India can target most of Chinese cities including Beijing and Shanghai. DRDO Q&A 1.Can you elaborate on your remark that Agni-III is not a just a missile but a system for the future? With this two-metre diameter [Agni-III] system, we are flying 3,500 km. With a small stage added, it becomes a 5,000-km system. Even though I do not use the same motors, with certain...

Pakistan tests nuclear-capable cruise missile
Barbur missile's range extended to 700 kilometres Thursday July 26th, 2007 Pakistan test fired its weapon in an undisclosed location. A military statement said it would "consolidate Pakistan's strategic capability and strengthen national security." The new range is enough to reach India's capital New Delhi. Under a deal Pakistan negotiated with India in 1999, each country must warn the other of ballistic tests, but not cruise missiles. Relations between the self-declared nuclear powers remain tense. They have fought three wars since being separated at independence in 1947, and are deadlocked over Kashmir. But neither has tested any underground weapons since 1998. The missile launch comes a day after India's cabinet approved a civilian nuclear deal with the U.S. If approved by the...
