Prime Minister Narendra Modi lauds DRDO’s ‘Mission Divyastra‘ as Agni-5 showcases prowess
In a resolute display of military advancement, India recently conducted a successful test of the Agni-5 missile equipped with Multiple Independently targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRV) technology. Termed ‘Mission Divyastra‘ by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the test marks a significant stride in bolstering India’s strategic deterrence capabilities.
The deployment of MIRV technology, a closely guarded asset, underscores India’s commitment to enhancing its national security posture. With the capacity for multiple independently targeted re-entry vehicles, Agni-5 reinforces India’s deterrence capability against potential adversaries in the region, notably China and Pakistan.
This milestone places India in an exclusive league of nations possessing such advanced technology, signaling its ascent as a formidable force on the global stage. The Agni-5 missile, with a remarkable range of 5,000km-7,000km, reaffirms India’s resolve to safeguard its territorial integrity and national interests.
The successful test comes on the heels of India’s prior demonstration of the nuclear-capable version of Agni-5 in November 2021, further solidifying the nation’s standing as a proactive player in the realm of defense technology.
