Agni designers are incompetent: Pakistan scientist

By Indo Asian News Service

Islamabad, July 10 (IANS) The failure of Agni-III reflected 'incompetence' of the Indian missile designers and planners, said an eminent Pakistani scientist.

They would need to go back to the drawing board and take two to three years, unless 'they borrow something from abroad,' said Samar Mubarikmund, chairman of Pakistan's National Engineering and Science Commission (Nescom).

Claiming that Israel was involved in developing India's missile programme, Mubarikmund said Pakistan, which had an 'indigenous' programme of its own, retained superiority over all others in the South Asian region.

Mubarikmund told The News Sunday that the circumstances narrated by the Indians for the failure of the missile test were 'not acceptable.'

The Indian missile met a disaster as it could not attain the altitude where the first stage is over or the second is even ignited.

He disputed the Indian claim, saying that with the range of 3,500 km, the missile had to go above about 800-900 km while the second stage had to be ignited at 28 to 30 km.

'If the missile fell from the height of 12 km, it establishes that either it's motor rocket, the basics of the missile proved failure or the guidance and control system was faulty. In both the probabilities, Indian technology has been exposed in clumsy manners.'

'It is interesting to watch that Indian missile programme that was initiated by French and US assistance and later New Delhi also borrowed Russian technical support has been facing tragedies from the beginning,' the newspaper quoted him as saying.

The newspaper also quoted from official sources to take pot shots at Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

'In fact he (Manmohan Singh) attained high moral ground for his country just to provide cover to constant failures of his country's scientists engaged in developing long-range missiles and they were hesitating from testing the missile,' the sources said.

Pakistan is still maintaining its superiority in missile technology in whole South Asia as it has successfully tested number of missiles with various ranges including Shaheen-II that has the range of the 2,500 km with all remarkably accurate parameters.

These parameters proved in the presence of international neutral empires when the missile hit the target to extent of centimetres accuracy in the Indian Ocean, the sources said.

Centimetre-level accuracy for an IRBM?

So doing what neither the US nor the USSR have done in 60 years of trying?

I am not buying that until I get some proper verification rather than just "sources said."

Tronic

thats a whole load lot of load of bull cr@p... this is Pakistan... get real... the country which had to rely on NORTH KOREAN MISSILES to start off with their missiles... so, I don't see how a country which buys off another country which uses very very crude technology have such a superior missile program... a whole lot of bull crap...

Neo

Oh get real man!
Would you please tell us how you came to have a space programme in the first place and how you abused the civil technology by converting it to building misslies?

you're reading too much into conspiracy theory... we got our space program at the time when the rest of the world had placed sanctions on us...

but the Pakistani-North Korean missile fact is something the whole world knos about... the American spy sattelites caught your planes loading North Korean missiles onto them in trade you gave em nuclear tech... nice deal...

Asim Aquil

Yes Indeed they do

Pak range - 2500
Indian range - 2512.

Neo

Ah, thats what they teach you at schools these days? LOL!

Nah... they teach us only stuff mandated from a holy book. You know the "true ones".
