Another trial of nuke-tipped 5000-6000 km Agni V next month

We in Pakistan call DRDO our friends: They are a drain on the Indian taxpayer and deliver nothing and the Chinese also have fan clubs in all cities for DODO scientists. On an average 1 project in DODO will last 30-40 years until it is scrapped for another new 30-40 year old project - Outcome nothing.

Seems Indian government cannot get anything out of testing phase. Indian scientists are just an extension of the useless government officials whose work is putting rubber stamps and signing documents in exchange for fee (bribe)

Projects still stuck in testing

• Agni V
• LCA (Technology long obsolete)
• Nuclear submarine
• ARJUN Tank (Technology long obsolete)
• LCH
• Aircraft Carrier

India is readying for the second developmental trial of 5,000-km range nuclear capable ballistic missile Agni-V which put the country in the elite club of six nations including the US, the UK, China, France and Russia, having intercontinental ballistic missile capabilities.

 Defence sources on Tuesday said the missile, considered as a “game-changer”, had been planned to be test-fired from the Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast any time in the third week of May. A successful launch of the missile would be another step forward towards its induction in the armed forces, possibly in 2015, though it has to undergo two more trials in the next couple of years.
 The missile was first tested successfully on April 19 last year. While the preparation for the second test has already begun, officials are busy fixing the schedule and logistic issues since the missile has to traverse across the Indian Ocean. “Though the Union Cabinet has already given a go-ahead for the mission, the exact date of firing has not been fixed yet,” said a source. As the missile has the striking capabilities close to intercontinental range, prior to the test, an official said, India will have to alert a number of countries including Indonesia and Australia along with the international air and maritime traffic within the test zone.

 Sources said a group of scientists associated with Agni-V missile would arrive here on Saturday to oversee the launch preparation. The DRDO is contemplating to conduct the trial by the end of next month as its chief and Scientific Adviser to Defence Minister V K Saraswat, who was instrumental in the success of missiles like Prithvi, Interceptors and even Agni-V, is retiring on May 31. The officials are also awaiting a warship from the Indian Navy to place the Israeli radar acquired recently.
 The surface-to-surface canister-launched missile, which can carry a payload of 1.5 tonne, is 17-metre long, 2- metre wide and weighs around 50 tonnes. Initially tested for a single warhead, Agni-V would also feature Multiple Independent Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs) with each missile being capable of carrying two to 10 separate nuclear warheads. “Each warhead can be assigned to a different target, hundreds of kilometres from each other and two or more warheads can be assigned to one target. This technology is under development,” said the official.

The only product DODO seems to have launched successfully is - DODO Mosquito Repellent cream. Stingy Indian mosquitos once knowing that product was made at DODO by Indian govenment employees selected and promoted based on reservation get more confident to spread Dengue and Malaria without fear (just like DODO INSAS peanut shooting guns cannot kill Pak Lashkar-e-Jahannam terrorists) 

Give Indian private sector a chance and close down all the Government Nawab and Badshah run ordanance factories

This idiot probably never fired a single bullet in his life and now masquerades as defense minister of India. Those are night vision goggles and not cataract removal devices Mr Anthony. Keep it coming Indian democrazy - Power to the uneducated and caste minded people. 

Here is another Indian defense minister Krishna Menon idiot who refused to use Indian Air Force in the China war in 1962. What do the Indian politicians know about fighting wars.

Indian Politcian PM and Urine drinking biological therapy enthusiast Morarji Desai told Zia-ul-Haq over phone that India knew about Pakistan's secret nuclear program.Pakistan immediately took all precautions and eliminated all the RAW operatives who were collecting all the information.

Zia consulted Morarji Desai about ‘native urine drinking medicine’ and in return Morarji gave him secret information related to Pakistan's nuclear program.

ISLAMABAD: Former president of Pakistan General Ziaul Haq befriended Indian former premier Morarji Desai after overthrowing Zulfiqar Bhutto government in 1977 and consulted Desai on native medicine, including urine drinking, according to Mr B Ramon, a former high official of the Indian secret agency RAW, in his book “The Cow Boy of RAW” which has recently been published in Chennai.

According to B Raman, General Ziaul Haq, who overthrew Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in a military coup in 1977 and arrested him, was anxious to avoid any fresh tensions in Pakistan’s relations with India till he was able to get rid of Bhutto and consolidate his power. He kept in touch with Morarji Desai over phone in order to befriend him. Like many senior military officers of the Pakistan Army, Zia was a past master in the art of flattery, Raman stated.

He wrote that often Zia would ring up Morarji Desai under the pretext of consulting him on native medicine. Nothing flattered Morarji more. Zia once asked him with seeming earnestness in his voice. “Excellency, how many times one should drink the urine in a day? Should it be the first urine of the morning or can it be any time of day?” the author disclosed.

Nuclear capability: Raman further wrote, “In a disarmed and unguarded moment one day, Morarji told him that he was aware that Pakistan was clandestinely trying to develop a military nuclear capability. Indiscreet political leaders are the unavoidable occupational hazards of the intelligence profession.”

B Raman was a high-ranking official of India’s secret agency. In 1967, he served in the Intelligence Wing of the Interior Ministry and was later appointed as head of Pakistan Desk in the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW). He retired in 1994 when he was head of Counter Terrorism Division. After serving for a long time in the Indian secret agency, Raman continued to work as member of Intelligence View Task Force till 2000 and later was made member of Advisory Board of National Security. Raman is well known as an expert on Pakistan Affairs with many articles and research papers on the country during and after his retirement.
