India successfully test-fired the nuclear-capable and 5,000 km surdata-face-to-surdata-face ballistic missile Agni-5 from APJ Abdul Kalam Island on Wednesday.

The missile, which has a three-stage solid-fuel engine, can hit targets at distances of up to 5,000 kilometres with extreme precision.


India's declared policy of dependable minimum deterrence, which underpins its commitment to no-first-use, is in accord with the successful test-fire of Agni-5. DRDO and Bharat Dynamics Limited created Agni-5, which weighs roughly 50,000 kg.

The missile measures 1.75 meters in length and has a 2-meter diameter. This 1,500-kilogram warhead will be deployed on top of a solid-fuel-powered three-stage rocket booster. 


The indian intercontinental ballistic missile will attain a high speed of 29,401 kilometres per hour and a top speed of 8.16 kilometres per second, which is 24 times the speed of sound.

It has an inertial navigation system with a Ring Laser Gyroscope that works with satellite guidance. It may also hit the target with pinpoint accuracy. It can be started with the help of a mobile launcher.


It is programmed to turn towards the Earth after reaching the apex of its trajectory to continue its journey to the destination at a faster speed due to the Earth's gravitational attraction.
