That's the point

your right about that part, much of Chinese systems are meant for deterring US while Agni-V allows India build force to deter China. Hence the difference in capabilities. China simply has more powerful enemies, far away. We may never need such numbers and infrastructure anyway as we were trying to get MIRVs & SLBMs in future.as for deterrence & capability i was pointing out the fact that even if India now has Agni V still China has much better missile infrastructure.it has more missiles & hundreds of kms of underground tunnel network to ensure much better survival rate of its delivery systems even against USA.if this can not be counted as more capability than India has then i don't know what can.
i just wanted mention, the ultimate thing which matters in all this charade of nuclear weapons, ballistic is that they are supposed to help maintain peace. Agni V is supposed to help india maintain stable & peaceful relations with china. we may spark off a costly tense competition but if that means we can avoid any clashes then it does probably make sense to have such capability. China should be able believe agni V is no pushover and should think million times before doing anything stupidThat's the point

peace inturn means we can focus more on economy and prosperity.
Radar Scene Correlation, Fuel Air Explosives, GPS Terminal Guidance? where you did find this information.
much of the old ones i think are inspired by Soviet Designs which are mostly heavy liquid fuelled based in hardened silos. DF-31 development began rougly when Soviets were also moving to solid fuelled road mobile missiles.chinese have geographical advantage as far as India is concerned. Can reach much of Indian cities with DF-21s, which they have in few good numbers. DF-31/41 is meant for US. China also has higher capacity warheads to offset the need for accuracy. It doesn't matter if CEP is 1km when they have megaton warheads.
We will probably stop comparing ranges once India comes out with long range SLBM because with nuclear submarine as platform, we can reach every country and every city in the world including US, Europe and even south america. ofcoz messing with US means their attack submarines will be make circles around our sub. For India what really matters is second strike effectiveness of SLBM.But one thing is right, Yes India's missiles dwarf's in front of China. They have ICBMs up to 15000 km while we have just 5000 km range. But India is enemy are not 10000 km away, so it is ok. We are only the 5th nation on the entire world to have this technology. Isn't that an achievement?
if you wanna learn about space & missile programs. I suggest you watch or read about the mother of all duels. US Vs Soviet Union. especially in 1960s and 70s. awesome, titanic, breathtaking, spectacular- got no words to describe. the intense competition, the supreme importance attached to going ahead & beating the rival. Nowadays the seriousness & importance attached to rocket research is almost nil today compared to what happened in 60s & 70s.Learned a lot of stuff. Thanx guys!
One guess who is in Red cap ?
