On record, Nirbhay has been tested 7 times with Russian engine and 3 times with Indian indigenous Manik engine. That's only 10 total test firings! That's basically a prototype by Chinese standards for testing.

BTW all three Manik engine powered Nirbhay tests resulted in failure. Bhakts still claim Nirbhay as the supaduparest of the cruise missiles. A missile that has barely done 10 runs with a huge proportion of those in failure ie not able to properly test the full scope of metrics they want to evaluate completely.

Agni ballistic missiles failed many times in tests.

India rarely tests ballistic missiles. Every test is reported on by media. India performs ballistic missile tests about as frequently as China performs space station module launches i.e. infrequently. Meanwhile China fires off dozens of ballistic missiles every few months for various forms of training, exercises, evaluations, and just cleaning out old inventory.

image showing 10 MRBMs launching for a training practise. India barely launches 10 MRBMs every 5 years let alone 10 in a single day, on just one field, meanwhile 30 others are probably launched in that month as part of various training programs. China actually does launch hundreds of ballistic missiles just for training every few years. India hasn't even got hundreds of ballistic missiles in totality.

Scenes like these for medium range ballistic missiles and even IRBMs are extremely common. There are hundreds of photos and videos proving this for just the last two years there would be. This site is horribly bad with loading images and each one takes a million years to try and load before it tells you the format is wrong or size is too large. Anyway training routines and interception tests too. Just in a two year timespan, two reported ICBM type interceptions were done using actual ICBMs delivering warhead targets for midcourse interception tests. What I wrote in my post is not BS. India currently has no ICBMs or proper SLBMs of even IRBM ranges let alone ICBM ranges. And yet Agni medium and intermediate ranged ballistic missile tests are widely reported and where they failed are also reported. So explain what second part of my post is utter BS.
Yes first part u are correct , india cant match that
actually no country in the world probably match that.


dont still understand the claim of agni series missile fails regularly?
also K4 SLBM is more than good enough to be in the the category of IRBM isnt it?
india's lack of icbm is more of a political thing afaik.
Agni 5 is kinda close to a icbm, but yea it might not be in everyones definition .

I'm a bit behind on Indian SLBMs so I was referring to K-15 which is SRBM ranged and maybe at most considered MRBM if its actual range is greater than reported range. K-4 I understood to be not in service but yes okay India has submarine launched IRBM with the K-4.

Went through the thread for some time, it feels more like a shitpost than anything credible enough.

I’ll put thread on my radar as part of the World Armed Forces mod coverage going forward.

Escalatory trolling, inflammatory or other baseless nationalistic posts with no value will be deleted.

Users who constantly bash or demean other nationalities will brought up for further mod action.

Video of India's new aircraft carrier INS Vikrant put into operation on 2 September. The ship is armed with four Italian 76-mm artillery systems from the Italian Leonardo group, two Israeli-made Barak-1 and Barak-8 missile systems, and Russian AK-630 anti-aircraft artillery systems. The air wing of 26 aircraft included the MiG-29K fighter, the Russian Ka-31 helicopter and the American MH-60R helicopter. In the future, it is possible to replace the aircraft with the French Rafale M or the American F-18 Super Hornet. The cost of the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant is US$2.9 billion. The cruising range of the aircraft carrier is 7,500 nautical miles. Crew - 1560 people.
