India test-fires Agni-V Ballistic Missile amid LAC heat

Days after Indian and Chinese troops engaged in combat in the Tawang district of Arunachal Pradesh, India successfully conducted night tests of the Agni V nuclear-capable ballistic missile.
It was a test fire at midnight.
Additionally, there are rumours regarding the missile Agni-greater V’s range and stealth capability.

Agni missiles are surface-to-surface ballistic missiles with a great range and nuclear weapons capability.
Under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program (IGMDP), the Agni-I, the first missile in the series, was created and tested in 1989.
Realizing the strategic significance of the Agni missile programme after it was successful and separated from the IGMDP.
In India’s defence budget, it was designated as a special programme and received sufficient funding for future development.

A medium-range ballistic missile with a range of 700–800 km is called Agni I.
Agni II: It has a range of more than 2000 km and is also a medium-range ballistic missile.
Agni III: It has a range of more than 2,500 kilometres and is also an intermediate-range ballistic missile.
Agni IV: It is a road-mobile launchable inter-medium range ballistic missile with a range of more than 3,500 km.
Agni-V: An intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with a range of more than 5,000 km, it is currently the longest in the Agni series.
Agni- VI: The longest of the Agni series, an Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) with a range of ICBM 11,000–12,000 km.

The success of the AGNI missiles conforms to India’s stated objective of having “credible minimum deterrent,” which supports the commitment to “No First Use.”
Agni 5 is a “canisterised” missile, which makes it nimble. It implies that the missile may be launched from platforms on roads and trains, making it simpler to deploy and launch it more quickly.
The missile’s shelf life is extended by the canisterization, which also shields it from the more extreme weather.
India is one of the few countries with access to ICBMs.
The Agni VI missile, which is currently under development, is anticipated to have a range of roughly 8,000 kilometres.
