India successfully tested a powerful new version of its long-range Agni-V nuclear missile. This missile is equipped with advanced technology called Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV). This technology makes it very difficult for enemy defenses to stop the missile. It also allows a single missile to strike multiple targets far inside enemy territory.
The missile has been designed with advanced avionics systems and highly accurate sensor packages. This ensures that it can hit its targets with precision. The addition of MIRV technology significantly enhances the missile's ability to survive any attempts to intercept it.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi proudly announced the successful test on the social media platform X. He praised the efforts of the Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) scientists involved in the mission.
MIRV technology enables a single missile to carry multiple nuclear warheads. Each warhead can be programmed to follow different paths and speeds, allowing them to strike separate targets hundreds of kilometers apart. This capability greatly increases the effectiveness of India's nuclear deterrent.
India has a policy of not being the first to use nuclear weapons in a conflict. However, the development of advanced missile technology like MIRVs ensures that India can respond effectively to any nuclear threat from adversaries. The DRDO has been working for years to develop MIRV technology for the Agni series of missiles, ensuring that India's nuclear arsenal remains potent and credible.
