AGNI-5 : the new jewel in our armour

4:54 AM by admin · 0 comments

Here is an article that comprehensively explains the capabilities of AGNI-5, our latest long-range missile capable of traversing a distance of 5000 km. Do read it here: link

What particularly fascinates me is the next expected breakthrough MIRV (or Multiple Independently targetable Re-entry Vehicles).

An MIRV, atop an Agni-5 missile, comprises three to 10 separate nuclear warheads. Each warhead can be assigned to a separate target, separated by hundreds of kilometres; alternatively, two or more warheads can be assigned to one target.(link)
AGNI-5 can be transported by road making it the only properly road-mobile missile. It is to be first tested in 2011.

This would be one more major step ahead in strengthening India's strategic arms capability. Wishing great successes.
