We Indians badly need ICBMs to counter China and also some other countries (like USA) to gain some respect. Its amazing to see ISRO making tremendous developments and DRDO lagging behind. Why don't these two join hands and engage in mass production of ICBMs ?? So far,the Surya ICBM is on trial and that phase has not finished yet. On the other hand, China is increasing its power almost on a daily basis.
My appologies first At the time of nuclear bomb fire test at pokhran 300 Russian scientists were present. ISRO had used Russian cryogenic engines for 6 years and then owned the technology without any error. Russia improved Sukhoi by adding laser pots in it. GLM-16 the basic Machine gun in India do not work below 0 degree.So how it worked in Kashmir.Some artificial fluid provided by Russian scientist team. Arjun (the tank) was not able to run more then 350Km in one run cze most of its part gets over heated and gets wear out.A change in design was suggested by Russian team after which Arjun become The Arjun. Russia provides us condition-less technology and we provide Russia the production of it. ICBMs is the area where Russia is not working currently Or Do not want to share it with India currently. So we have to wait for the holy Russia to show mercy in this field too! Also DRDO is the firm where 3% of its workforce complains senior`s high pressure and 30% receives external threat.
Get your facts straight before jumping into conclusions. We do not need an ICBM to counter China. IRBM satisfies that part. And why the hell do you want to counter US, they are not in our list of rouge nations. They are an ally. ISRO is into space technology and DRDO into defence technology. They cannot join hands as using space technology for ICBMs/ or for that matter any missile technology is banned. Are you planning to bomb Mars with mass production of ICBMs. Dude this Surya thing is still an internet rumour. I hope it comes out true. And as for China, we've got Agni-III. So chillax!!!
