India's first defence satellite launch vehicle 'Veda' spotted behind DRDO Chief, during an interview

DRDO begins work on India's first defense satellite launch vehicle named 'Veda'. The biggest advantage of this Veda rocket is that it can be launched from Road Mobile Launcher. Yes, similar to Agni series ballistic missiles.

Its usefulness is wide. Understand well.

India has been launching satellites for a long time but at the same time, India is launching ballistic missiles. The difference between a satellite launch vehicle and a ballistic missile is that there is a warhead in the reentry vehicle to hit the target in ballistic missiles. While ISRO's satellite launch vehicle does not have this reentry vehicle. Rockets also have strap-on boosters (smaller rockets attached to the main rocket to provide extra thrust), but not ballistic missiles.

If you look closely at the Veda satellite launch vehicle you will find that it is actually a complete ballistic missile. The location of its reentry vehicle is also oval. Simply put, it has been designed to carry multiple satellites.

In other words, this time DRDO merged the space application with the defense application. This will result in several things.

♦ India will first get an extra hand so that Indian armed forces do not have to rely on ISRO's rocket production lines and can quickly launch its own military satellite on its own platform.

♦ No specific launch pad will be required for satellite launch. As a result, India will be able to launch the satellite at any time by issuing NOTAM, 2 hours prior to the launch.

♦ Again, maybe more than one vehicle will be launched simultaneously. As a result, India will be able to test the capacity of multiple ballistic missile strike simulations over the enemy secretly.

♦ Very important point. As the design of the satellite launch vehicle is similar to that of a missile, it can be converted into a MIRV-capable ballistic missile if necessary. At the same time, India will successfully test the MIRV bus at the military level.

♦ In the same way it might be able to act as an anti-satellite weapon somewhere.

The Indian Air Force chief also said a few days ago that ISRO's satellites could not meet military requirements. There is only one very high-resolution Earth imaging satellite CARTOSAT-3 in space. In addition, CARTOSAT and RISAT satellites are mostly used for civilian purposes. In addition, these satellites lack military applications. For that, this Veda project of DRDO is quite significant.
