THOUGH a bit OFF-TOPIC but can't wait to share among all our Indian Friends here in IRI Community.
INDIA SUCCESSFULLY TEST-FIRES AGNI-5 MISSILE
India on Thursday successfully test-fired the Agni-5 Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile, which was developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
he missile was test-fired from Wheeler Island in Odisha at 8.05 am.
Agni-5,...
more... with a range of over 5,000 km, is a three-stage, all solid fuel powered, 17-metre tall missile with capability to carry various forms of payload.
It can be launched from land-based mobile platform and has the capability of hitting multiple targets.
The successful test launch of the missile is a major leap forward for India in the area of military technology and military deterrent capability, making it the fifth country in the world to possess such a technology.
ONLY THE UNITED STATES, RUSSIA, FRANCE AND CHINA POSSESS THE CAPABILITY TO OPERATE AN ICBM.
In November last year, DRDO had successfully test fired the 3,500 km range Agni-4 missile giving muscle to India's deterrent capability against its military adversaries.
India can NOW Cover Beijing (3216 kms) and SHANGHAI (4184 kms) with this AGNI-5 ICBM Missile.
Even Now China will think of India before doing anything significant to India.
