India’s missile power lifts off

Posted by Matt in May 22nd, 2008

The spread of long-range ballistic missiles took a step forward on May 7 with India’s successful flight test of its Agni-III missile that can carry a nuclear warhead as far as Beijing.

But the difference between this and other missile developments is that India’s missiles — like those of the United States, Britain, France and Israel — are not used to threaten others and instead help deter potential aggressors.

With nuclear missile-armed neighbors like China, Russia and Pakistan, India needs an effective deterrent. But for years New Delhi concentrated on developing tactical missiles to deter Pakistan, which India fought three times since independence in 1947. India’s nuclear-capable short- and medium-range missiles, in addition to its supersonic cruise missiles, are an existing deterrent to Pakistan.

Indian Vedic Rock: Agnee (Agni) - Mrityunjaya - Tandav
The band Agni is one of the founders of the modern Indian Rock Music scene. This song is "Tandav" from the album "Mrityunyaja" (2002). The album could be considered to be one of the forerunners of Vedic Metal, with its Sanskrit lyrics, religious themes and the amazing fusion of Indian and Western music. It is a very rare CD. edit!- I've been told that the band members have released all their old music for free! It can be downloaded at: http://72hoytstreet.net/music/agni/ The band has now evolved into an entirely new one, called 'Agnee'. Please check out their website at: http://agnee.in/ Check out their website at: http://www.indiasoft.co.in/agni/default.asp Thanks to osakamuraya who uploaded this video first and gave permission to me to upload it!...

India's integrated Guided Missile Program- Agni III- Part 3
Agni III range depends on the payload!! The range will be way more than what is shown on TV and internet. More than 5000km range can be achieved by reducing the size of the 200 kiloton war head. Agni II AT (an improved version of Agni II) has more range than what was previously told!! Agni II AT has a range of 4500km with 1500kg payload. It is all about either reducing the weight of the missile or the war head. Agni II AT with its current range can easily hit any place in china!!
