CLASSIFICATION OF INDIAN MISSILES

✔️Based on Type

•Cruise missile
•Ballistic Missile
•Quasi-Ballistic Missile

(a) CRUISE MISSILE
●Cruise missiles are guided unmanned missiles and are used against the targets within atmosphere i.e. terrestrial targets. Jet Engine is mostly used for the aerodynamic lift.
●They are low-level flights which can be launched from land, air and water.
●Based on speed the cruise missiles are classified into – Subsonic, Supersonic and Hypersonic.
●Example: BrahMos, Nirbhay

SUBSONIC
●These missiles travel at the speed of less than 1 Mach number, less than the speed of sound.
●Example: Nirbhay

SUPERSONIC
●These missiles travel at the speed between 2 – 3 Mach Number
●Example: Brahmos

HYPERSONIC
●These missiles at a speed more than 5 Mach Number. They travel 5 times more than the speed of sound.
●Example: Brahmos II (not yet launched)

Note-
Mach number- It is the ratio of the speed of a body to the speed of sound in the surrounding medium.

(b) BALLISTIC MISSILES
●The flight path of the ballistic missile is characterised with Ballistic trajectory.
●Ballistic missiles can be launched from land and sea-based systems.
●During the ascend it takes high arch trajectory and falls freely during descend.
●Example: Agni, Prithvi, etc.

✔️Based on Launch Mode

•Surface to Surface
•Surface to Air
•Air to Air
•Air to Surface
•Surface to Sea
•Anti-tank missiles

✔️Based on Range

•Short-range missiles
•Medium range missiles
•Intermediate-range missiles
•Inter-Continental ballistic missiles

✔️Based on Propulsion

•Solid propulsion
•Liquid propulsion
•Hybrid propulsion
•Ramjet
•Scramjet
•Cryogenic

✔️Based on warhead

•Conventional
•Strategic (Nuclear)

✔️Based on the Guidance System

•Wire guidance

Missile Technology in India

HISTORY

◆The use of missiles in India began in the Ancient period, where the missile was called ASTRA.
◆The scriptures and epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata have mentioned about the missiles which are controlled by mantras, which can be related to modern-day missile’s mission control software.
◆The world’s first rocket was used by Tipu Sultan in the Anglo-Mysore war against the British in 18th century AD.
◆The missiles/rockets used by Tipu Sultan were made of Bamboo or steel spears, cast iron chamber as propellant and gunpowder as the warhead.
◆During British rule, the missile development technology was left behind due to various factors like colonialism, lack of resources, lack of research capabilities, etc.,

AFTER INDEPENDENCE
●The development of anti-tank missiles and sounding rockets had started from Hyderabad based Defence R & D Lab (DRDL) in the 1960s.
●The anti-tank missile prototypes flight-tested by the army, which is built by the lab to counter the Cobra missiles of Pakistan Army supplied by the US, which took a heavy toll of Indian tanks in 1965 war.
●In 1969, the Indian Air Force initiated a project to reverse engineer the Soviet Union's SA-75 SAM, because the Soviet Union was not supplying spares in adequate quantities. This venture, called "Project Devil", never came to production, but allowed the DRDL to build the know-how that eventually gave birth to the Akash missile.
●The indigenous missile development post-independence started with the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP). This programme was headed by former President and Scientist Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. The main focus was to build an indigenous capability ballistic missile and launch vehicle technology.
●Under Integrated Guided Missile Development programme the first missile test-fires was Prithvi in 1988 and Agni in 1989.
●To develop the technologies, the materials, the sub-systems, the testing facilities public sector firms with independent research laboratories were set up throughout the country to become self-reliant.
●In 1983, The semiconductor complex limited (SCL) was established in Chandigarh with its research lab. This reduced the import of Guidance chip which are used in missile technology development.
●Both Strategic and tactical range of missiles have been developed under the IGMDP and was delivered to the military.

●The development of Ballistic Missiles was started with Prithvi, Agni, Dhanush and continued further to Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBM) in the Agni Series (AGNI – V; AGNI – VI).

●This intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), with a range of over 5000 km, will carry a massive three-tonne payload.

●It will consist of several multiple, independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), each one capable of being aimed at a different target.

●Each warhead - termed manoeuvrable re-entry vehicle (MARV) - will perform evasive manoeuvres as it hurtles down towards its target, making it difficult for enemy air defence systems to shoot it down.

●The subsidiary missile development along with the Tactical Nuclear Weapons (TNWs) started with K – Series Missile development programme which delivered the Submarine Launch Ballistic Missiles(SLBM).

●The missiles developed under this programme were Sagarika (K-15), K-4 and K-5. The missile Shaurya which is a hybrid missile that has both Ballistic and Cruise missile profile.

●The development of anti-ballistic missiles was started with the Indian Ballistic Missile Development Programme (IBMDP), which developed a series of missiles like Prithvi Air Defence(PAD), Advanced Air Defence (AAD), etc.,

●The development of the cruise missile was started with BrahMos which is a collaborative project with Russia.

Straws in the wind in south block

Context

◆The Covid 19 pandemic, the impasse on the border with China, restrictions on travel, unsettled situation in U.S. Developments in west Asia have created a lull in foreign policy.

The China Challenge
●The frustration over the continuing occupation of Indian Territory by China, Mr Biden formula in dealing with China has certain challenges.
●India’s pandemic diplomacy figures prominently in the projection of its foreign policy
●The spike in demand from different countries for pharmaceuticals, like hydroxychloroquine and paracetamol, have made India ramp up its production and involve in international collaborations.
●Increasingly visible integration of foreign and defence policies has added a new dimension to policymaking and execution.
●The visit of the Chief of the Army Staff and the Foreign Secretary to Myanmar and Chief of Research and Analysis wing to Nepal to discuss on the challenges of intense terrorism, border security issues and large sea disputes is a good step towards national unity and integrity and international cooperation.
●There have been hints of India distancing itself from globalization, following India’s decision to keep out of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership by bringing in the concept of Atma Nirbhar Bharat by reducing demand on Chinese goods also opting out of Chinese belt and Road initiative.

Intolerance of criticism
◆India has resorted to intolerance of international criticism of internal developments like displeasure overstatements or actions of other countries that are prejudicial to their national interests like slapping trade sanctions, refusing to recognize the government in power, and getting the critical country expelled from international organizations.
◆In recent times, two boycotts by Mr Jaishankar have been seen as an increased intolerance of external criticism.
◆First his decision not to meet Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal owing to her unflattering view of the government’s handling of the Kashmir issue.
◆The second boycott was not attending the ministerial meeting of covid 19 convened by the Canada government because of the statement on agitation of Indian farmers consisting mostly of Sikhs.
◆While the British Foreign Secretary was more diplomatic explaining that Sikh politics had become part of U.K. politics.

Conclusion
●India's policy should be supportive of our Diaspora abroad and we could have been tolerant of criticism in abroad to have good international relations.
●There have been various permutations and combinations working out in south Block for good international relations between various countries.
