India tests Agni-5 missile
Proud of our DRDO scientists: Modi; indigenously developed Mission Divyastra is capable of deploying multiple warheads
New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday congratulated Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientists over the first flight test of indigenously developed Agni-5 missile, capable of deploying multiple warheads.
'Proud of our DRDO scientists for Mission Divyastra, the first flight test of indigenously developed Agni-5 missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology,' Modi said on 'X'. Sources said that with the test of Mission Divyastra, India has joined the select group of nations that have MIRV capability.
This will ensure that a single missile can deploy multiple warheads at different locations, they said. The project director is a woman and it has a significant contribution from women, the sources said.
The Agni-5, with a range of 5000 km, is developed considering the long-term security needs of the country. The missile can bring almost the entire Asia including the northernmost part of China as well as some regions in Europe under its striking range.
