[Fatalis]

Is there any missile with name 'Agni-2P' under development?

I came across an image of TEL having 5 set of wheels but Agni-1P has 4 set of wheels.

Is there any missile with name 'Agni-2P' under development?

I came across an image of TEL having 5 set of wheels but Agni-1P has 4 set of wheels.

I remember once Indranil da discussed about it. I spotted the tweet as I was searching for the Agni 3 test just now, so very coincidental I found that tweet, please check the reply tweet also below sir!

My thought: Agni 2P is a tech-feed prog. With a length of ~20 mtrs, its road mobility is limited. Instead a K4 based missile (with a new nose cone) will be the mainstay for the 2000-3500 km delivery. It's 13 mtrs long, already canisterized and a common base for ASAT, K4 missiles.

Prithvi, Agni I, Agni II, Agni III

giving way to state-of-the art

Prahar, Pralay, Shaurya, Agni 1P, Agni 2P, Agni 5.

The result of incremental development. The result of balanced expectations.

Reportedly last test of A1-P was with 2 effectors

For land based targets said config is no brainer

However hypothetically speaking what if said config is applied on a ASBM for targeting a large naval target with 2 effectors on different trajectories for higher kill probability pic.twitter.com/UDZqLgRPNr

Agni V test successful, it was visible from here Kolkata skies too. Was in the rooftop viewing it. Looked like a huge moving comet like that time I saw during my childhood.

That view is the best take like I saw too the huge light trail behind, an absolute trailblazer
First time seeing a missile going in trajectory so was a bit excited. Last 3 days Army has been conducting 1971 war celebrations , saw HAL Rudra, ALH & Chetak heli flying over for past 3 days.

Is this Agni 5?? @otvnews @kanak_news @PMOIndia @isro @adgpi @rashtrapatibhvn pic.twitter.com/F9qpW5xZOt

The test was carried out to validate new technologies and equipment on the missile which is now lighter than before.

The trial has proved the capability to enhance the range of the Agni-5 missile, if required.#IADN #AGNI5 https://t.co/I9ziTytJ5U

Some talk about MIRV also tested.

If the issue at Yangtze is causing India to launch Agni 5, escalate the matter in media, release a video footage then I am very sure that its not just the issue of one LAC event. Chinese are definitely up to something which government is monitoring.

We need to be watchful in Himachal aur Uttrakhand

We need to be watchful in Himachal aur Uttrakhand

Our armed forces have indeed been very watchful since Galwan. Any trust we had(if) exists no more.

Its more like the opposite, this launch was notified on 28/29th November, then on 8th December the Arunachal Pradesh wide IAF exercise was published. The clash happened on 9th Dec. Join the dots. Was too much to handle for them perhaps.

This says it flew over Mizoram? That's near China .. are you sure this is Agni 5? Which direction did they fire?

Seen from there I think, given the trajectory is pretty high, definitely very lofted you can see given its seen at the same time from the entire eastern India. So what we are seeing is something in space or very high up that can be seen from a large area. This is the reason why they mention range can be extended if needed.
