Thread: India to test long-range nuclear missile and here... [ link to www.dawn.com] “The trial of Agni-V is planned for March and its individual technologies and sub-systems have been tested and everything is fine,” a spokesman for the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) told AFP.
“Agni-V is a highly accurate and state-of-art missile system which can carry nuclear weapons,” the official said, declining to disclose the size of the warhead it could carry.
Agni means fire in Sanskrit language.
The DRDO spokesman said India, which carried out a string of nuclear detonations in 1998, was developing an array of ballistic missiles as a “deterrence” and the move should not be seen as a threat to any country.
“Our strategic missiles are for deterrence and are not country-specific. They are meant to ensure peace,” the spokesman said.Last Edited by aBiNoRmAl on 02/15/2012 06:31 PM |
