NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modion March 11, congratulated DRDO scientists for carrying out the first flight test of Agni-5 missile with MIRV technology.
“Proud of our DRDO scientists for Mission Divvastra, the first flight test of Agni-5 missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology,” he said through a post on social media platform X.
The Agni-5 happens to be the most advanced missile in the Agni series, because of its navigation and guidance, warhead and engine. The missile has been made in a manner that after reaching the peak of its trajectory it will head down to the earth’s surface, towards the target, with increased speed due to the gravitational pull.
The other Agni series missiles in India’s armoury are the Agni-1 with 700km range, Agni-2 with 2,000km range, Agni-3 and Agni-4 with 2,500km to over 3,500km range.
