It will be capable of being launched from submarines as well as from land, and will have a strike-range of 8,000–10,000 km with MIRVed warheads. Single-stage missile developed after the Kargil War to fill the gap between 250 km range of Prithvi-II and 2,500 km range of Agni-II. On 7 May 2008 India again successfully test fired this missile. G-suits, flight suits overalls, helmets, oxygen masks, gloves and automatic inflatable life jackets. The missile was developed when the need for an intermediate range missile – addressing the range gap between the Agni-II and the Prithvi. This page was last edited on 24 December 2020, at 14:07.

The Agni ballistic missile family has also undergone significant recent improvements in range and sophistication. It stands at 15 metres, weighs 12 tons and serves as a medium range ballistic missile. [35] It can be fired from a road mobile launcher.[35][37][38]. Many reports have claimed that the DRDO a three-stage Agni VI missile. This original technology demonstrator evolved into the solid-fuel Agni-1 and Agni-2 missiles. It is to be the latest and most advanced version among the Agni missile program. Currently, the DRDO is readying for the second test next month of the Agni-5 Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile. India Plans To Deploy Nuclear Capable Agni-V Missile Which Covers Beijing Under Its Range by Swarajya Staff - Jan 5, 2021 09:01 AM Agni-V, an intercontinental ballistic missile developed by DRDO. Agni III uses solid propellant in both stages. Agni-VI is an intercontinental ballistic missile reported to be in early stages of development by India and is being developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation. [27] Agni-III was first tested on 9 July 2006 from Wheeler Island off the coast of the eastern state of Odisha. [24] The missile was test fired from a mobile launcher with logistics support from DRDO at the Integrated Test Range as part of the regular training exercise by the armed forces. With a range of 3,000–4,000 km,[36][37] Agni-IV bridges the gap between Agni II and Agni III. This missile … The Agni-I, Agni-II and Agni-III missiles were developed under the IGMDP DRDO formally announced the successful completion of the IGMDP after the third test of Agni-III on 7 May 2008. Agni IV is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies, that includes indigenously developed ring laser gyro and composite rocket motor. It can carry a payload of 800kg. I am recounting from the first test and all the information that came out from it in this post. Agni-I is used by the Strategic Force Command (SFC) of the Indian Army. The Agni I, II, and III are already in service. In 2018, India successfully test-fired nuclear-capable ballistic missile Agni-V, with a strike range of 5,000 km, from the Abdul Kalam Island. India's land-based arsenal includes the Prithvi-1 with a range of 150 to 600 kilometers, the Agni-1 with a range of 700 kilometers, the Agni-2 with a range of 2,000 kilometers, the Agni-3 with a range of 3,000, the Agni-4 with a range of 3,500 kilometers, and the Agni-5 with a range … It can be configured to fire from road/mobile launcher. In May 2008 Indian scientists announced they had developed and patented a path-breaking technology that increases the range of missiles and satellite launch vehicles by at least 40%. Agni II: An intermediate-range ballistic missile, the Agni-II was first test fired on April 11, 1999. [38] Agni IV can take a warhead of 1 tonne. Falling between the short-range and medium-range categories, it fills the gap between India’s Prithvi systems and the Agni-2. [28] Agni-III was tested on 9 July 2006 from Wheeler Island off the coast of the eastern state of Orissa. Today only it is announced for the 4th and last trial of Agni V, which means it isn’t included yet. Agni-V was first test fired on 19 April 2012 at 08:07 am IST from Wheeler Island off the coast of Orissa, the test was successful. According to DRDO & other governmental sources,range of Agni-V missile is over 5,000 kms. [14] The family comprises the following:[15]. The Agni missile series includes the Agni-I with a 700 km range, Agni-III with a 3, 000 km range, Agni-IV, and Agni-V, both having long-range capabilities. It will have a range … The two-stage Agni technology demonstrator, with a solid-fuel first stage, was first tested at the Interim Test Range in Chandipur in 1989. Agni-III. This original technology demonstrator evolved into the solid-fuel Agni-1 and Agni-2 missiles. Agni-I is used by the Strategic Force Command (SFC) of the Indian Army. The material acts as a reactive-ablative coating that forms a thin low density gaseous layer at the tip of the rocket as it approaches hypersonic speeds; this super-heated gas layer reduces drag by 47% (at mach 7–8), thereby allowing range enhancements at least 40%. India today successfully test-fired its short-range nuclear capable ballistic missile Agni-I with a strike range of over 700 km. [33] This is of special significance because a highly accurate ballistic missile increases the "kill efficiency" of the weapon; it allows Indian weapons designers to use smaller yield nuclear warheads (200 kiloton thermonuclear or boosted fission) while increasing the lethality of the strike. While Agni-I's is in, more or less, certain terms - 700 kilometres, or thereabout, Agni-II has a declared range of "more than" 2,000 kilometres, & so on, & so forth. The two-stage Agni technology demonstrator, with a solid-fuel first stage, was first tested at the Interim Test Range in Chandipur in 1989. The Agni-3 is an intermediate-range, two-stage solid propellant ballistic missile. The Agni-5 missile has a range of over 5 000 km. Once again it was called as an “over” 5000 kms range missile. The Agni-5 missile has a range of over 5 000 km. The missile was also successfully test-fired in January 2017. Agni-III, with a range of over 3,200 km was inducted into the armed forces in 2011 after a series of successful tests and user trials. It is designed to increase the kill efficiency along with a higher range performance. Today only it is announced for the 4th and last trial of Agni V, which means it isn’t included yet. Although developed as an extension to the Agni-III intermediate-range ballistic missile, Agni-V is an entirely new design developed using inputs from Agni-III. Agni III uses solid propellant in both stages. It will greatly expand India's reach to strike targets more than 5,500 km away. Agni Missiles are long range, nuclear weapons capable surface to surface ballistic missile. Currently, the DRDO is developing Agni-VI with a range of over 8,000kms. The maximum range o… This missile … The missile is believed to have a range of around 5,000 to 8,000 kilometers. [43] In January 2015, the canisterized version was successfully tested from Wheeler Island. The missile lifted off from a road mobile launcher at 11.48 a.m. and after climbing to an altitude of over 800 km, it re-entered the atmosphere and impacted near the pre-designated target in the Indian Ocean with remarkable degree of accuracy following a 20-minute flight. [1] The latest missile test occurred on 13 July 2012, when India test fired Agni I successfully at Wheeler Island off Orissa coast. The first missile of the series, Agni-I was developed under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Program and tested in 1991. [28], The 2000 km range nuclear weapon capable missile, already inducted into country's arsenal, was successfully launched as a training exercise by the Strategic Forces Command on 9 August 2012. The 2,000km (1,200-mile) range missile was fired at around 8.38 am from a mobile launcher at the Integrated Test Range on Abdul Kalam Island of the Odisha coast in a training exercise carried out by the Indian Army’s Strategic Forces Command, PTI reported defence sources as saying. Though Agni 5 is said to have a range of 5,000 kms, its range has been a contentious issue. On 13 July 2012, India test fired Agni I successfully at Wheeler Island off Orissa coast. India’s Strategic Forces Command (SFC) test-fired the Agni-I short-range ballistic missile at their Integrated Test Range in the Bay of Bengal on Tuesday. DRDO chief V.K. The Strategic Forces Command, as a part of user trials, is to launch Agni-II on 9 August 2012 from the Wheeler Islands off the Orissa coast, after it successfully launched Agni-I missile on 13 July 2012.
