Agni 1 missile or shourya? What could be the possible missile for 715 km notam?
I have 100% confirmed evidence for point no 3 and 4 but problem is since last 2 years I noticed sensitive information on web which were already posted ( govt sites and manufacturers ) being removed steadily , and reason why I didn't include the pics. No point pushing my limits even though all my sources are open sourced and from public domain.
In one government site there was the pic of an actual rail mobile launcher system ( almost the entire deployment convoy , can you fuking believe it ). Now it has been replaced with a pic of a wagon ( which carries gravel , coal etc )
Just want to know if the people who missile is also developing rockets ?
It seems we have made good strides in missile development, why aren't we developing guided rockets for helis?
Lack of priority
Anyways I never mentioned it here but drdo is developing a " hybrid air water ballistic missile " . I don't have a clue as to what kind of missile it is . You guys have any educated guesses ?
Note : it is not a slbm
I suppose it's an air to surface ballistic missile with the capability to engage ships (water).
Hybrid would likely indicate it's a two-stage missile, with both stages having different propulsion systems. Or it could also mean it's capable of land-attack, which is the more obvious choice.
Water would mean the seeker has been made specifically to engage moving targets.
The concerned missile is tagged as futuristic weapon system and first prototypes are expected in the next decade and you randomradio dare call it Indian CM400AKG

Why the hell even bring into the discussion a monkey version of a Chinese weapon which even the Chinese have till date refused to induct. The AKG is a repurposed SY400 rocket with very limited maneuverability , limited to hi-hi trajectory with a dive at terminal stage. Any air defence system worth the salt will pick it up and intercept it beyond 100+ km. Propaganda crap. Harpoon is 100 times better than that.
You have not heard of RudraM 2/2A and RudraM 3 I guess .
May be it's a missile which travels under water for some time and comes out after reaching near the target.The Chinese are underestimated quite a bit. The SY-400 is very dangerous and highly manoeuvrable. It's a lifting body design after all. While I definitely agree that sea-skimming missiles are better, the main goal behind missiles like the CM-400AKG is to overwhelm air defences using very high speed. This will actually allow your sea-skimmers to slip in while the AD is busy trying to track multiple mach 5.5 missiles.
The RudraM II/III should be able to handle such missions though.
Anyway, it's also possible air-water actually refers to "air-underwater". This is meant to hit targets that are below the waterline. No, it doesn't mean it will attack submarines, it's mainly for targeting bases that are underwater, like missile silos.
Even the decades-old harpoon would have a better chance penetrating SAMs like Barak-8. Its not at all maneuverable and its ballistic trajectory is predictable. There is a reason this kind of missiles were decommissioned by every other nation.The Chinese are underestimated quite a bit. The SY-400 is very dangerous and highly manoeuvrable.

And how will they time the so-called supersonic CM-400AKG and subsonic CM perfectly on a moving target? That's a hard ask.
May be it's a missile which travels under water for some time and comes out after reaching near the target.
out of the box thinking.Subsonic CMs can loiter. That's actually one of their main advantages. It's not difficult to time attacks. You simply fire the long range subsonic CMs an hour before and then attack with BMs a few minutes before impact.
Multi-pronged attacks are easy to do, and have been done before. The Russians exercise it regularly with their vast mix of such missiles on their ship and bomber combination.
That's an engineering nightmare.
Which missile series is this from & why aren't your images watermarked? Don't go complaining if someone catfishes them with their own patented watermark later.View attachment 17963
Looks like a new rail launched rocket / missile under development
Also interesting thing to note is the absence of control surfaces ( fins ).
