| Description | The Agni-V is an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It is a three-stage, solid-fuelled, road-mobile ballistic missile with a range exceeding 5,000 kilometers, placing major parts of Asia and Europe within its reach. Agni-V incorporates advanced technologies such as a ring laser gyro inertial navigation system and a robust re-entry vehicle. It is capable of carrying multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs), significantly enhancing its strategic deterrence capabilities. The missile’s high accuracy and long range make it a crucial component of India’s nuclear deterrence strategy, providing a strong deterrent against potential adversaries. |
