Agni-III


Agni-III is the third in the Agni series of missiles. Agni-III was tested on July 9, 2006 from Wheeler island off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa. After the launch, it was reported that the second stage of the rocket had failed to separate and the missile had fallen well short of its target. Agni-III was again tested on April 12, 2007, this time successfully, from the Wheeler Island off the coast of Orissa.On May 7, 2008 India again successfully test fired this missile. This was the third consecutive test; it validated the missile's operational readiness while extending the reach of India's nuclear deterrent to most high-value targets of the nation's most likely adversaries. Agni-III has a range of 3,500 km,[5] and can take a warhead of 1.5 tonnes.[18] Its range falls within the reach of most major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shanghai. Agni III uses solid propellant in both stages.

It has been reported that the missile's Circular Error Probable (CEP) lies in the range of 40 meters, This would make the Agni-III [19] most accurate strategic ballistic missiles of its range class in the world.[18] This is of special significance because a highly accurate ballistic missile increases the "kill efficiency" of the weapon; it allows Indian weapons designers to use smaller yield nuclear warheads (200 Kiloton thermonuclear or boosted fission) while increase the lethality of the strike. This permits India to deploy a much larger nuclear force using less fissile/fusion material (Plutonium/Lithium Deuteride) than other World nuclear powers. Older ballistic missiles, such as those deployed by earlier nuclear powers required larger yield (1-2 Megaton) warheads to achieve the same level of lethality. It has also been reported that with smaller payloads, the Agni-III can hit strategic targets well beyond 3,500 km.






Agni-IV

Agni-IV is the fourth in the Agni series of missiles which was earlier known as Agni II prime.[20] Agni-IV was tested on November 15, 2011 from Wheeler island off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa. With a range of 2,500-3,500 km[13] Agni-IV bridges the gap between Agni II and Agni III. Agni IV can take a warhead of 1 tonne. It is designed to increase the kill efficiency along with a higher range performance. Agni IV is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, that includes indigenously developed ring laser gyro and composite rocket motor. Its a two-stage missile powered by solid propellant. Its length is 20 meters and launch weight 17 tonnes.[20] It can be fired from a road mobile launcher



guys i want to discuss that whether Agni 5 will be based on Agni 3 or Agni 4?
 
See Agni II extended version is Agni IIp/Agni IV
Also Agni III extended version will be Agni V
Agni IV/V are completely new technologies where are the former versions are out dated but cannot be intercepted by our enemies.
 
Agni-2 never worked. Agni-3 never worked. Neither one was ever truly operational. DRDO realized this and redesigned it with higher quality materials for casing and other parts. The result is Agni-4 and Agni-5.

Well, here's what matters:

We can design our battle plans assuming that our missiles work.

But you can't really design your battle plans assuming that our missiles DON'T work.


:D

I hope this is the conception in Chinese military.

Agni-4 is not extended version of Agni-2, it is a all new missile. As per news Agni-5 is a extended version of Agni-3, but we should wait till Feb for confirmation.

somewhere i heard that 1 stage will be added to Agni 4 and it will be transformed into Agni 5

Even Agni V will be a new missile . I used the word extended not modified or some thing . I think you mis understood . Both Agni 4(Agni 2p) and Agni 5 are new generation missiles with gyroscope, accelerometer (i dont know whether they are already there or they will be added)unlike their predecessors Agni 2 and Agni 3 .

Thats an additional stage for A3.

look who is talking about the technology,design and quality??? :hitwall::rofl: Once A5 is got tested,it will create huge panic to all our hostiles.
