DIBBS ON BrahMos 1 and 2 and whole Agni series.

BrahMos-II or BrahMos-2 or BrahMos Mark II is a hypersonic cruise missile currently under joint development by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Russia's NPO Mashinostroeyenia , which have together formed BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited. It is the second of the BrahMos series of cruise missiles. The BrahMos-II is expected to have a range of 290 kilometres (180 mi) and a speed of Mach 7. During the cruise stage of flight the missile will be propelled by a scramjet airbreathing jet engine .[1] [2] Other details, including production cost and physical dimensions of the missile, are yet to be published.[3][4][5] It is expected to be ready for testing by 2017. [6] The planned operational range of the BrahMos-II has been restricted to 290 kilometres
(180 mi) as Russia is a signatory to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which prohibits it from helping other countries develop missiles with ranges above 300 kilometres (190 mi). [5] Its top speed will be double that of the current BrahMos-I, and it has been described as the fastest missile in the world. [7][8] Design of multiple variants of the missile was completed by October 2011, with testing starting in 2012. [9] These variants will arm the Project 15B destroyers of the Indian Navy. Fourth-generation multi-purpose Russian Naval destroyers ( Project 21956 ) are also likely to be equipped with the BrahMos II.

BrahMos has the capability of attacking surface targets by flying as low as 10 metres in altitude.[74] It can gain a speed of Mach 2.8, and has a maximum range of 290 km. [1] The ship-launched and land-based missiles can carry a 200 kg warhead, whereas the aircraft- launched variant (BrahMos A) can carry a 300 kg warhead. It has a two-stage propulsion
system, with a solid-propellant rocket for initial acceleration and a liquid-fuelled ramjet responsible for sustained supersonic cruise. Air-breathing ramjet propulsion is much more
fuel-efficient than rocket propulsion, giving the BrahMos a longer range than a pure rocket-powered missile would achieve. [7] The high speed of the BrahMos likely gives it better target-penetration characteristics
than lighter subsonic cruise-missiles such as the Tomahawk. Being twice as heavy and almost four times faster than the Tomahawk, the BrahMos has more than 32 times the on-
cruise kinetic energy of a Tomahawk missile, although it carries only 3/5 the payload and a
fraction of the range despite weighing twice as much, which suggests that the missile was
designed with a different tactical role. Its 2.8 mach speed means that it cannot be
intercepted by some existing missile defence system and its precision makes it lethal to water targets. [7] Although BrahMos was primarily an anti-ship missile, the BrahMos Block III can also engage land based targets. It can be launched either in a vertical or inclined position and is capable
of covering targets over a 360 degree horizon. The BrahMos missile has an identical configuration for land, sea, and sub-sea platforms. [7][75] The air-launched version has a smaller booster and additional tail fins for added stability during launch. The BrahMos is currently being configured for aerial deployment with the Su-30MKI as its carrier. [74] On 5 September 2010 BrahMos created a record for the first supersonic steep dive.

Agni-I Main article: Agni-I The two-stage Agni technology demonstrator, with a solid-fuel first stage, was first tested
at the Interim Test Range in Chandipur in 1989. It was capable of carrying a conventional
payload of 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) or a nuclear warhead. This original technology demonstrator
evolved into the solid-fuel Agni-1 and Agni-2 missiles. India first developed the two-stage
2000 km range Agni-2, testing it in 1999. It then used the first stage of this system to
develop the 700 km range single-stage Agni-1, which was first tested in January 2002. Weighing 12 tonne with a length of 15 metres, Agni-1 has a range of 700–1250 km [10][19] and is capable of carrying a conventional payload of 1,000 kg (2,200 lb) or a nuclear warhead [2] at a speed of 2.5 km/s. [4] Agni missiles consist of one (short range) or two stages (intermediate range). These are rail and road mobile and powered by solid propellants. Agni- I is used by the Strategic Force Command (SFC) of the Indian Army.[2] On 13 July 2012, India test fired Agni I successfully at Wheeler Island off Orissa coast. [28]

AGNI 2
Agni-II with a range of 2,000–2,500 km is 20 metres long, has a diameter of one metre, and weighs around 18 tonnes. Agni – II uses solid propellant in both of its two stages. [29] They are claimed to be a part of the "credible deterrence" against China and Pakistan. India stated that its nuclear and missile development programmes are not Pakistan-centric, that
the Pakistani threat is only a marginal factor in New Delhi's security calculus, and that Agni is at the heart of deterrence in the larger context of Sino-Indian equation. [30] The Strategic Forces Command, as a part of user trials, is to launch Agni-II on 9 August 2012
from the Wheeler Islands off the Orissa coast, after it successfully launched Agni-I missile on 13 July 2012. [31] The 2000 km range nuclear weapon capable missile, already inducted into country's arsenal, was successfully launched as a training exercise by the armed forces on 9 August 2012. [32] India on 7 April 2013 test-fired its nuclear capable Agni-II strategic ballistic missile from a military base in Odisha. The test was conducted from Wheeler's
Island in Bhadrak district, around 200 km from here, by army personnel as part of a training
exercise. The medium-range surface-to-surface missile with a range of over 2,000 km has
already been inducted into the army and is part of the Strategic Forces arsenal for nuclear deterrence.[33] Agni-III Main article: Agni-III Agni-III is the third in the Agni series of missiles. Agni III uses solid propellant in both stages.[29] Agni-III was tested on 9 July 2006 from Wheeler Island off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa. After the launch, it was reported that the second stage of the rocket did not separate and the missile had fallen well short of its target. Agni-III was again
tested on 12 April 2007, this time successfully, again from Wheeler Island. On 7 May 2008
India again successfully test fired this missile. This was the third consecutive test; it
validated the missile's operational readiness while extending the reach of India's nuclear
deterrent to most high-value targets of the nation's most likely adversaries. Agni-III has a range of 3,500 km, [8] and can take a warhead of 1.5 tonnes. [34] It has been reported that the missile's circular error probable (CEP) lies in the range of 40 meters, This would make the Agni-III [35] most accurate strategic ballistic missiles of its range class in the world. [34] This is of special significance because a highly accurate ballistic missile increases the "kill efficiency" of the weapon; it allows Indian weapons
designers to use smaller yield nuclear warheads (200 kiloton thermonuclear or boosted
fission) while increasing the lethality of the strike. This permits India to deploy a much
larger nuclear force using less fissile/fusion material (plutonium/lithium deuteride) than
other nuclear powers. Older ballistic missiles, such as those deployed by earlier nuclear
powers required larger yield (1–2 megaton) warheads to achieve the same level of lethality. It has also been reported that with smaller payloads, the Agni-III can hit strategic targets
well beyond 3,500 km. Agni-IV Main article: Agni-IV Agni-IV is the fourth in the Agni series of missiles which was earlier known as Agni II prime. [36] Agni-IV was tested on 15 November 2011 from Wheeler Island off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa.The missile was successfully test-fired again on 19 September 2012
for its full range of 4,000 km from the Wheeler Island, off the Orissa coast. The missile
lifted off from a road mobile launcher at 11.48 a.m. and after zooming to an altitude of over
800 km, it re-entered the atmosphere and impacted near the pre-designated target in the
Indian Ocean with remarkable degree of accuracy following a 20-minute flight. Carrying a
payload of explosives weighing a tonne, the missile re-entered the atmosphere and withstood searing temperatures of more than 3,000°C. With a range of 3,000–4,000 km [22][37] Agni-IV bridges the gap between Agni II and Agni III. Agni IV can take a warhead of 1 tonne. It is designed to increase the kill efficiency along with a higher range performance.
Agni IV is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, that includes indigenously
developed ring laser gyro and composite rocket motor. It is a two-stage missile powered by solid propellant. Its length is 20 meters and launch weight 17 tonnes. [36] It can be fired from a road mobile launcher. [36][38][39] Agni-V Main article: Agni-V Agni-V is a solid fueled intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. It will greatly expand India's reach to strike targets more than 5,000 km away. Agni-V was test fired successfully on 19 April 2012 at 08:07 am IST from Wheeler Island off the coast of Orissa. [40][41] Agni-V ICBM has been designed with the addition of a third composite stage to the two-stage Agni-III missile.[4] To reduce the weight it is built with high composite content. The 17.5-metre- long Agni-V would be a canister launch missile system so as to ensure that it has the requisite operational flexibility and can be swiftly transported and fired from anywhere. [4] Agni-V weighs around 49 tonnes; one tonne more than Agni III and a much longer range. [4] The second test launch of Agni-V was successfully done on 15th September 2013 at 08:43
am IST from Wheeler Island off the Orissa coast.The next test launch of Agni-V missile scheduled to be carried out in 2014 is to be of canisterized version. [42] Agni-VI Main article: Agni-VI Agni-VI is an intercontinental ballistic missile reported to be in early stages of development
by India. It is to be the latest and most advanced version among the Agni (missile) program.
It will be capable of being launched from submarines as well as from land, and will have a strike-range of 8,000–10,000 km with MIRVed warheads. [6][26][27] Further developments In May 2008 Indian scientists announced they had developed and patented a path-breaking
technology that increases the range of missiles and satellite launch vehicles by at least 40%.[43] The enhanced range is made possible by adding a special-purpose coating of chromium-based material to a rocket's blunt nose cone. The material acts as a reactive-
ablative coating that forms a thin low density gaseous layer at the tip of the rocket as it
approaches hypersonic speeds; this super-heated gas layer reduces drag by 47% (at mach 7–8 ), thereby allowing range enhancements at least 40%. [44][45] It has been announced that this technology will be incorporated in future Agni deployments after having
undergone ranging and calibration tests.

Interesting yes thank you.

The destructive and devastating nature of weapons that are used for destroying life,countries and the planet are totally uncool imo.

Edit since its been moved from the cool board:
In reply to your post below directed at me a bit like those missiles"Dogfight is a GAME".

oops sorry.

What intrests me is that u play dogfight with " THAT NATURE "

You'll put your eye out kid.....
