ReplyDeleteBut,update on Indian Armour?
C'mon do not be a Tank tease!
Bravo... Congrats to all concerned...
ReplyDeleteGuys, Where are the fins? Anybody?
ReplyDeleteFins... err, yes... the fins. Where are they?
ReplyDeleteWill ask all the technical questions tomorrow. Do send in your questions if you have any.
Is it that slowly rotating on the longitudinal axis for stability like rifle bullet, so no fins required!
ReplyDeletePlease post a pic of arjun mk2 and give us some update on arjun mk2 and othe projects especially FICV.
ReplyDeleteWhen is the Pressurised Water Reactor, which uses enriched uranium as fuel, on board India's nuclear-powered submarine, Arihant, going critical?
ReplyDeleteI was actually hoping that it would be started up by the end of this year, but I am told now that it will be commissioned in January or February 2012. Some things are yet to be settled.

Any info regarding Arihant submarine
Good Job ASL, DRDL.
ReplyDeleteAgni-3 design with internal gyros eliminated fins and now the other major improvement besides 2nd stage composite motor (the one in red I believe) is the absence of vented inter stage.
This is definitely a step change in the overall Agni programme. Next steps are canisterizing and MIRVing the warhead.
800 kg also speaks volumes about the miniaturization of the boosted fission warhead.
Now awaiting the test of Agni-5 and Nirbhay.
Thousands of miles to test before I sleep !
Pls ask for updates on astra and HSTDV.
