India test-fires 10 missiles in 35 days. It is not a coincidence

    INDIA’S RACE TO TEST MISSILES

- Hypersonic Technology Demonstration Vehicle 7 Sept
- ABHYAS-High Speed Expendable Aerial Target 22 Sept
- Laser Guided Anti Tank Guided Missile 22 Sept

- Laser Guided Anti Tank Guided Missile 1 Oct
- Supersonic Shaurya strategic missile 3 Oct

    Why is India's suborbital page not updated or active? India is doing many suborbital tests in the meanwhile, right?! No one interested for this?

To be fair, the only true suborbital (outside the atmosphere) launch here was the Shaurya. I don't call these other rocket
launches 'suborbital', they are just low altitude missile tests. Maaaaybe the Prithivis are worth talking about too. But thank you for calling my attention to them!

Cross-post; ballistic missile launch?

Not sure, but maybe this is for the SSLV launch:

[satcomopsuk]

Further test due..

[satcomopsuk]

The warning area has been rescheduled .

I am not sure now that is is a suborbital test.
Looking at the changed footprint and the timing , could this be targeting a specific overflight?

[satcomopsuk]

Another zone change

[satcomopsuk]

Further activity here...looks similar to an ASAT test

[satcomopsuk]

Looking back to 2019 , this may be upgraded to a possible ASAT test


The Nav warn matches closely that issued in March 2019 relating to ...“Mission Shakti”

The four hour window could be a clue to the intended target.


Regards

John

[satcomopsuk]

It was an AGNI Prime launch , not ASAT...

Coverage of upcoming launch in various press reports this morning.

[satcomopsuk]

India on Thursday successfully carried out the night trials of the Agni-V nuclear-capable ballistic missile having a range of over 5,000 km, marking a significant boost to the country’s strategic deterrence, sources in the Defence Ministry said. They further said that 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-V missile, if required," news agency ANI quoted sources as saying. Agni-V, which is India’s first inter-continental ballistic missile (ICBM), was under development for more than a decade and today was its ninth flight and a “routine test".
