it is safe to assume it will be improved versions of the Russian models of the same class some were leased earlier too.
Nope that is not correct. Surya is supoosed to be based on the PSLV-2 launch vehicle not Russian missiles.

Yes. India have that technology for a long time now. It came with the PSLV and PSLV-2 launch vehicles. But India is not going to produce this missile becuase she has not long distance adversary.

Re: 1st indian ICBM - SURYA

So why don't modify it into a space rocket?

I think with such powerful rocket, India even can send human into orbit.

But i wonder why they don't do this huh?

Or perharp Surya only technical spec on the paper like the MCA?

Dude the PSLV and PSLV-2 are indeed space satellite launch vehicles, in layman term rockets. They have been tested and have been operational for 4-5 years now, and have launched several satellites into orbit.

India could send a man to space, but there is no scientific value of sending a man in a container, have him orbit the earth and land into the ocean.

Reports say (missilethreat.com) the first test flight is expected in 2005 and the Surya-1 is expected to enter service in 2008!!

Can this be true??

Well the technology, know how and infrastructure has alwyas been there. It's just a matter of doing it eventually.

Well it might be a while until india tests a big missile (agni3 & surya), what with the "peace" effort made by India and Pakistan

It seems Agni-3 is ready and has been for a long, time for testing

India tests Trishul missile for third time in two days

BHUBANESWAR, December 20 (Online): India Friday successfully test fired the Trishul missile for the third time in two days from a range in Orissa, defence sources said here.

The short-range, surface-to-air missile was fired from a mobile launcher at the integrated test range at Chandipur in Balasore district, 230 km from here, at 11.20 a.m. and again at 2.45 p.m. The quick reaction, all-weather missile was tested once from the same range Thursday, reports IANS.

More tests of the Trishul are being planned, the sources said. All three tests since Thursday were successful and achieved all mission objectives, including proving the guidance system and operation in tandem of the missile and its ground-based control system, they said.

Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the solid fuel propelled missile has a triple battlefield role for the army, air force and navy.

Trishul has a range of nine km and carries a 15-kg warhead. It is about three metres in length and 200 cm in diameter and flies at supersonic speed.

Designed as an all-weather missile, Trishul's sea-skimming capability is meant to play a crucial role in its ability to intercept anti-ship missiles. Reports earlier this year had indicated there were, however, serious snags in its ground-based guidance system and the Trishul programme would be put on the backburner.

End.



Trishul looks like a useful short range missile and can prove to be of great use for the Indian Defence. :)


Moreover one more appreciable thing is that it is an indigenous project. Seems as if the LCA and Arjun tank will follow Trishul success very soon.:)

Actually this Trishul and Akash were to be deployed in 1990's but due to the as usual delay caused by DRDO,It still in testing period.
Brahmaputra Class Firgates badly need Trishul SAM,till now Ships managed with MANPAD's.
This 9km SAM can be considered as CIWS.
Even Barak SAM comes to same class.

i havent seen any pictures of the missile, and dont really know much about it, but is it possible for a missile with that lenght to be 200 cm in diameter?? i mean if that was the case, then it wouldnt be very aerodynamic and would have a real hard time achieving supersonic speed.

I'm pretty sure they meant 20 CM in dia. As you say, a missile 3 meters long and 2 meters in diameter wouldn't exactly be aerodynamic. ;)

:coffee Why it was a need to test missile that much time wasnt that expensive for India. I think India must support its people rather then its defence:coffee

Seriously Kashifshahzad stop interjecting babble that no once cares about, its getting to be much of an eyesore, DT does NOT care about the QUANTITY but the QUALITY ofyour posts. India testing a missile and India's social situation although is soem random indirect way connected can be said about any country, all countries have the need for defence, if you want to talk about India's social situation compared to the world or something do it in a new thread.

India do cares about the people,Don't forget the fact India is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and also the fourth Largest Economy.

India Again tests Akash SAM.
Huh!! when are they going to deploy it

India Again Tests Akash,May be its about to be deployed this year.

India tests medium range missile]

Indian President says Brahmos is ready for deployment.
They were saying the same from 2001.

Another surprising news says that
http://www.globes.co.il/serveen/globes/docview.asp?did=887212&fid=942India asks Israel for technical assistance to develop SLBM
Indian official: Extending the range of the Sagarika submarine-launched ballistic missile to 2,500 kilomters is intended to give it nuclear deterrent capability.[/QUOTE]
Its about the sagarika SLBM originally of range 300km but was planned to be increased to 1000km and now it is to be increased 2500km.
It is to be tested from land on June and tested from Underwater in 2 years.
Russian NPOM(Brahmos/Yakhont devloper) will provide the guidance software.
One Official says that Critical Guidance Software is already provided.
First of all Sagarika was never tested.

So the First Advanced Technology might carry SLBM instead of SLCM.

Indian Navy had a Long Dream to Carry out SSBN Patrols in South China Sea for Nuclear Detterance.
