With the help of Russia, India will soon join the group of countries possessing ICBMs.

According to the Indian newspaper The Pioneer, 8 of October, Russia will assist India in creating a guidance system for the developed Agni-V ICBM, capable of hitting targets at a distance of 10000 km.

Russia is ready to provide advanced guidance system technology for this ICBM, the test launch of which is scheduled for later in the year. The development of this rocket was suspended due to the fact that no country with such technologies was ready to provide them. India independently develops MRBG Agni-I, Agni-II and Agni-III, including guidance systems for them. But for an ICBM with a range of 10000 km and capable of carrying a nuclear charge, we need a very accurate guidance system that the Indian defense research organization DRDO cannot develop, and its import was impossible.

A breakthrough in this area was achieved during the last visit to Russia of the Minister of Defense of India AK. Anthony (AK Antony), which was preceded by negotiations of the delegations of the two countries for a long time. During the visit, the heads of the Indian Defense Ministry reviewed various projects within the framework of the Russian-Indian intergovernmental commission on military-technical cooperation. The defense ministers of both countries meet regularly once a year in Moscow or New Delhi.

Currently, ICBMs are owned by such countries as Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, France and China. India is successfully developing MRBMs with a range of up to 4000 km. Two years ago, the Agni-III MRBR was successfully tested, thus India demonstrated the ability to create an ICBM. However, progress in the development of an intercontinental rocket stalled for two years, since the creation of Agni-V was faced with the inability to create a guidance system of the required accuracy. "The discriminatory policies of some countries, including the United States, which for two decades hampered the development of rocket technologies in India, have been successfully overcome, as Russia agreed to provide assistance," said Indian officials. They reported that Russia is ready to share its know-how in this area with India.

Another important breakthrough was Russia's readiness to provide India with the services of its satellite GLONASS positioning system for military purposes. The United States does not want to provide the services of its GPS system, despite Washington’s repeated assurances that it is ready to cooperate with New Delhi in the field of high technologies. Nevertheless, other countries, in particular Israel, willingly cooperate with India in the field of missiles, equipment and radars in the framework of the Agni-III MRBM test.

Regarding this topic, one of the unnamed Chinese military experts in an interview with the Global Times said that India exaggerates Russia's role in the transfer of ICBM guidance technology. He said that India had successfully created medium-range ballistic missiles, thus, this country is able to independently develop a guidance system for ICBMs, possibly with only slightly worse accuracy. Problems in this regard should not have arisen. But if Russia is really ready to transfer “key technologies” of India, then it “should think hard”, the expert threatened.

The more our ally India has ICBMs, the calmer we sleep.

Our arm India, Syria and so on. And America is arming all the countries that are near us.
Our need to do the base where we help.

And where will Russia enter with the help of India?

Moscow Aviation Institute is developing key technologies of hypersonic KR "BraMos"

Meanwhile, India is studying the proposal made in the first week of September to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the missile defense program (ABM). This was reported today by the Hindu newspaper with reference to the scientific adviser to the Minister of Defense of India Vijay K. Saraswat

India has something to take, but the most important thing is money. This is all for nothing. But we really need money and time. Very interesting events are going on.

Yes and more. India is a very good ally in a possible fight with China.

Everything is sold and bought in this world, it’s not a secret for anyone. On the other hand, there is a rapid proliferation of rocket, nuclear and other technologies and it’s not good. Everything is clear with America, they want to command and dictate their conditions, with the Chinese, too, India at their side and the people no less It’s not clear only the opinion of a Chinese expert, India itself could, Russia has nothing to do with it, where are they stealing technology from Russia? Russia should think hard, and think there’s nothing to go in full swing towards a multipolar world

[NUT]

if those with whom we don’t drink continue to trade technology so famously, then, to put it mildly, our traitors and their spies will be left without work, and this is a new wave of unemployment ... ay-i-i-i-i-i- yay

[Col.]

As far as I know, the UK and France do not have ICBMs, there are SLBMs on SSBNs

[Foamas]

It is true that magazines burn as usual, but the UK does not have them at all, they rent their Trident 2s from the states and are obliged to return them at the end of their service life.

cool scheme if this happens!

India for the war with China, such missiles are unnecessary and against whom then to be friends with her so? what is the benefit? is it really just for the money?
