Can't even make a proper TEL. Something like this would be much much nicer.

Queue the SK video where the host wonders whether looking slick is worth it and that Indians have the right philosophy and maintain the same effectiveness at the least cost. Grass always looks greener on the other side.
Grass doesn't just look greener, It is greener on the other side brother.
That TEL design is of no use in India , the moment anyone sees it will know that it's carrying a nuclear missile and will be prone to attacks risking deployment in sensitive areas, will be easily detected by satellites just using visual data too.
TCT looks like a normal heavy goods truck and gets the job done
I don't have it bookmarked. It was a video/tweet showing Hyunmoo-5 TEL doing a crab walk if it rings a bell for anyone else.
As ISR has gotten better, TELs have become easier to spot. In the past, TELs were harder to find. Today, better ISR tools make these vehicles quite vulnerable. The bulkier the design, the better the chances of it being spotted. Bulky shapes cast unnatural shadows that modern satellites detect easily. Not saying they have become useless entirely but it has become easier to spot them if they have sharp angles and bulky structures.
The Koreans verbally referenced Agni V? Interesting.
Yuh thats why the chinks are trying to make them look like construction cranes. In our case we dont even need to do that.
But ig some of our ppl think those TELs look "kool" and bemoan that we dont have them.
Amazing to think in a decade or less we can launch from underwater the equivalent of this missile with MIRV capability.
This type of vehicle originated in the Soviet Union; its purpose was to leverage immense payload capacity and off-road mobility to allow missiles to patrol the roadless expanses of Siberia—effectively serving as a land-based SSBN. For most nations, however, neither the specific geography nor the strategic necessity for such a system exists.
Silos in the dandakarnya region is perfect place, high vegetation, harder and old rocks, harder to penetrate, easy to hide, remote region, a good place for silos, Agni -v, mk2, Agni -iv, Agni-iii,
Such a TEL design is literally useless from an Indian perspective apart from winning some fashion awards (if you want to call them that).
In a densely populated country like India, such a design would tell you from miles away that an ICBM is being ferried around (I am not even talking about satellites which can easily pick up such movements).
Indian TELs are designed in a such way that they easily can blend in with other goods carrying trucks and not stick out like a sore thumb.
IMO Your TELs are better then us or russian ones in terms of stealth and concealment , the ruskies had the huge landmass to hide them , so does chinese . You not so much , A TEL is way easier to stop then a disguised truck .
This was one of the reason why iranians developed disguised TELs
Btw I think i have found 2 silos , im not 100 percent sure but pretty close to it.
And no these not looks like typical silos lol
And no these not looks like typical silos lol
interesting but for what? if it is a vent shaft then there is no entrance for the "room" down there ??
Can you elaborate ? This is too weird to be a vent shatf
IDT silos need all that , like any other russian or American silo there is a tube with its support structure and exhaust which is usually covered with earth layer for masking, what you found is used for something else
