Good news came late on Thursday evening when India successfully carried out the night trials of the nuclear-capable Agni-5 ballistic missile, which can hit targets beyond 5,000 km.
“The test was carried out to validate new technologies and equipment on the missile which is now lighter than before. The trial has proved the capability to enhance the range of the Agni-5 missile, if required,” according to MoD sources.
The sources also added that this version of missile has been made lighter by adding lighter composite and is hit targets at longer ranges.
India had launched the last Agni-5test in October 2021.
The launch was carried out at approximately 5: 30 pm from APJ Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha.
The missile, which uses a three-stage solid-fuelled engine, is capable of striking targets at ranges up to 5,000 kilometres with a very high degree of accuracy.
