vandenberg rocket seen from hundreds of kilometers away after launch. This is exactly what Agni V looks like if launched during evening or early morning hours as sunlight remains at high altitude..
The question is the direction it was fired.
Yeah, look at the different of angle from my view, and compare to the Burma pics, I saw at a higher elevation angle
Considering the missile was seen in Kolkata, Bangladesh, Mizoram, Myanmar, bhubaneswar....
What kind of trajectory was this....
Can someone throw light on this or is there something more than what we see like was it a New missile instead of Agni 5 masked as Agni 5, or did we test MIRV...
Same as NOTAM.
An illuminating object up high in space can be seen from very wide area and all these areas are within region.View attachment 25626

All three wrong. It was Agni 5 fired from Island and direction same as NOTAM.
A missile/rocket is visible from great distances when traveling in space.
People's speculation, nothing more. Even Himalayas are visible from great distances despite being within atmosphere. This was way beyond atmosphere hence such missiles are visible from great distances.
people said we tested mirv, got no proof yet.View attachment 25626

What I can guess, assuming its indeed agni 5 tested by strategic forces, they tested it at a very high altitude in a lofted trajectory, so range is within that 5400km notam, full operatinal config test, they wanted our neighbors to see it but still guess upto what range it can reach. This is what you call strategic testing.
It's actually pretty normal to fly the missile over open ocean and still thousands of kilometres distance people can see it clearly if it goes upwards of 100 km altitude.
No, ballistic path only. Just visible from different places due to up high in space.
It's flying away from the general land direction. Refer to Odisha, Kolkata and Myanmar videos for reference. However as it's flying very high, hence visible from great distances..
Not K2, but kanchanjanga peak is visible from upper Bangladesh region on clear sky days. K2 is very far, visible from very limited parts of India, specially J&K UT.
@safriz here's confirmation of India's MIRV capabilities and Agni 5 being a MIRV capable missile from horse's mouth....
Even after seeing so many pics I can not see why many would think this is a meteor. A meteor would have dust plume behind yes, but so would a multi stage missile like this. No way a meteor would have a glow like this behind, the meteor glow would be frontal mostly. This you can clearly see glow is emanating from behind. The high energy propellant, that is some proper glow. This was intended to be seen like this. This launch is also different from the rest of agni launches, even different from the previous A5 launch. This is truly something different, ie closer to full capability/significant milestone launch.

Yes, it seems to be A5 judging by the government ministers tweet.
Whatever it was, definitely first time. It could be DRDO Veda too given past speculation. Agni 5 launch was in 2020 too one time, but never been seen from such vast area, which indicate stage testing as would be the norm for such long range missile programs.
