The maiden test of
Agni V missile was successfully test fired on Thursday 8.05 am from
wheeler island odisha. Which was developed by the Defense Research and
Development Organisation. (DRDO)Agni-5, 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. A successful flight would
have placed India in the elite league of nation like the US, France, Russia and
China having ICBMs.
After
its test launch, DRDO plans to conduct more tests of the missile over the next
one year after studying and analysing the parameters achieved in each
subsequent trial and the weapon system would join service in 2014.This photo was taken from http://www.defence.pk/forums/indian-defence/173293-agni-v-missile-tested-wednesday-8.html
