New Delhi: In a strong strategic signal to China in the midst of a 17-month-old military confrontation in East Ladakh, India tested the most robust missile, more than 5,000 km from Agni-V, on Wednesday night.
“Success test” Agni-V, which brings even the northernmost part of China in its strike envelope, in line with Indian policy states to have a “credible minimum prevention that supports commitment not to be used first (NFU)” “., Said the Ministry of Defense.
“Missile, which uses a solid three-stage fuel engine, is able to striking targets in the range of up to 5,000 km with a very high level of accuracy.
It was tested for the whole range.
The launch runs very well, “said an official.

One, it was the first “user launch” of the first Ballistic Intercontinental missile in the country by the Tri-Services Strategic Strategic Command (SFC) after induction to Armed Forces.
Two, this is the first time missile, which has been tested seven times before, launched at night.
Toi is the first to report last month that more than 50-ton Agni-V will be fired in “full operational configuration” by SFC on October, in the launch first since he asked the military with China erupted April-May T Ahun then.
On Wednesday, missiles with 1.5 tons of warheads were launched from Apj Abdul Kalam Island, offshore Odisha, around 19:50 a night.
Fly at 24 times the speed of sound, the missile trajectory and flight parameters are constantly monitored by radar, an electro-optical tracking system, telemetry station and ship before being replined in Bay Bay, officials said.
As previously reported by TII, Drdo also worked to develop `some returned vehicles targeted independently ‘(MIRV) for Agni missiles but will take at least two years for multi-warhead capabilities to be tested.
Mairv Payload basically involves one missile that carries four to six nuclear warheads, each programmed to achieve a separate target.
Agni-V upstream that exists by itself add to the teeth with prevention posture against China, which has missiles such as Dong Feng-41 (12,000-15,000-km) that can hit any Indian city.
China also recently went for a large expansion in the new Missile Silo field to launch a nuclear ICBMS.
In accordance with the latest assessment of the Stockholm International Peace Institute (SIPRI), China now has 350 nuclear and pakistani warheads 165, compared to 156 from India.
But India remains confident of credible minimum prevention.
Agni-V is operational better than the previous Agni variant because it is a tube runway missile to ensure lower maintenance and higher transportation and shooting.
The test from the 17 meter high Agni-V test appears after a new generation of two-stage missiles named Agni-Prime, with a 1,500-km attack range, tested on June 28.
Agni-Prime, also the tube -Selunch Missile, in the end it will replace Agni-I (700-km) missiles in the SFC warehouse, which also has PrithVi-II (350-km), Agni-II (2,000 km) and Agni-III (3,000 km) missile unit.
India has also long modified several Sukhoi-30MKI, Mirage-2000 and Jaguar fighters to provide nuclear gravitational bombs.
The French Rafale fighters who were just appointed by IAF were also able to do it.
But the third leg of Indian nuclear triad was still far from being strong, represented as well as the submarine nuclear ballistic (SSSBN) solitary (SSSBN) armed with only 750 km Ritsile K-15 now.
Countries such as US, Russia and China have SSBN with far more than 5,000 km ballistic missiles launching submarines (SLBMS).
India has three more SSBN in development, with ins Arerhat now scheduled for commissioning next year after several delays.
K-4 missiles, with 3,500 km strike distance, in turn, will require at least one more year to be ready for induction.
