 ABOUT AGNI-PRIME

Agni P, is the first of the new class of Agni missile to be

launched by DRDO.

The ballistic missile weighs 50% less than Agni 3 and has new
guidance and a new generation of propulsion.

 SPECIAL FEATURE

Since the missile is canisterised, it can be launched from rail

and road and stored for a longer period and transported all
across the country as per operational requirements.

The missile, which has a range between 1000km to 2000km,

can be used to target enemy armadas in the Indo-Pacific.

It also comes with the technologies found in the 4000-kilometre

range Agni-IV and 5000-kilometre range Agni-V.

 AGNI SERIES MISSILE

The Agni series of ballistic missiles is being developed under the

Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme of the Defence
Research and Development Organisation of India.

The Agni missile family consists of three deployed variants.

The Agni-I, Agni-II and Agni-III are in service with the Indian Army.

28-06-2021
Agni I, India's first intermediate-range ballistic missile, was
successfully test-fired for the first time in May 1989.

It was inducted into service in 2004. It has a range capability

between 700 and 900 kilometres.

Agni-IV, the fourth in the Agni series of missiles, has

completed all trials successfully by January 2017.

The intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Agni-V, dubbed a "game-
changer" in strategic deterrence because it brings the whole of
China and much more within its strike envelope.

Once the Agni-V is inducted, India will join the superexclusive club of
countries with ICBMs (missiles with a range of over 5,000-5,500km)
alongside the US, Russia, China, France and the UK.

 PINAKA ROCKET

Last Friday, the Defence Research and Development Organisation

(DRDO) successfully test-fired an extended range version of
indigenously-developed Pinaka rocket at Integrated Test
Range (ITR) in Chandipur off the coast of Odisha.

That day, 25 Enhanced Pinaka rockets, which can destroy targets at

distances up to 45 kilometres, were test-fired in quick succession
against targets at different ranges on Thursday and Friday.

The 122 mm Caliber rockets were also launched from a Multi-Barrel

Rocket Launcher (MBRL).

 CONCLUSION

This is the first test of a missile by DRDO amid the

second wave of Covid-19 pandemic.

The premier defence agency had left the world

awestruck after launching 12 missiles within a span of
six weeks in September and October last year.
