India successfully test-fires Agni-5 intermediate range ballistic missile

India on Wednesday (November 23) successfully carried out the training launch of Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile Agni-3 from Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast, the defence ministry said.&nbsp;

News agencies reported citing sources in the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) that the missile lifted off from launch pad No.4 of the Integrated Test Range located on the island at 9.12am (IST).&nbsp;

In a statement, the Indian defence ministry said: "India carried out a successful training launch of an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile, Agni-3 from APJ Abdul Kalam Island, Odisha on November 23, 2022."&nbsp;

"The successful test was part of routine user training launches carried out under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command. The launch was carried out for a predetermined range and validated all operational parameters of the system," the statement added.&nbsp;

Agni missiles are long-range, nuclear weapons capable, surface to surface ballistic missiles, and the first missile of the series, Agni-I was developed and tested in 1989.&nbsp;

The Agni-3 missile was test-fired successfully in 2007 and also in 2008, which was its third consecutive launch. It was inducted into service in 2011.&nbsp;

Reports have mentioned that it has a range of 3,000 to 5,000 kilometres and has the capability of reaching targets deep inside neighbouring countries.&nbsp;

The latest test comes after India successfully test-fired the indigenous new-generation medium-range ballistic missile Agni Prime.&nbsp;

India successfully tests intermediate-range ballistic missile Agni-3

Marking a significant boost to the country’s military capabilities, India has successfully carried out a “training launch” of the Agni-IV intermediate-range ballistic missile from the APJ Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha.

The missile, which is capable of striking a target that is 4,000 km away, is primarily meant for deterrence against China.

The Defence Ministry said in a statement, ''The launch validated all operational parameters as also the reliability of the system.''

''The successful test was part of routine user training launches carried out under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command.''

''The successful test reaffirms India's policy of having a 'Credible Minimum Deterrence' Capability,'' it added.

Developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation, which is also working towards ''manoeuvering warheads or intelligent re-entry vehicles,'' Agni-IV is the fourth in the Agni series of missiles which was earlier known as Agni II prime.

India, which is in the process of further strengthening its strategic missiles arsenal by adopting newer technologies and capabilities, has three more solitary nuclear ballistic missile submarines (SSBNs) under development, with INS Arighat now slated for commissioning this year after some delay.
