Agni-5 is the only ICBM in India. Its range is more than 5000km. It can reach a speed of about 30000 km/h. It is capable of carrying several nuclear weapons at a time. It is counted in the top 10 ICBM in the world.
Agni 5 Missile: Recently, Agni 5 was successfully tested by India’s most special missiles. It is an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM). ICBM is a missile that has more than 5000km range. The range of Agni 5 is more than 5 thousand kilometers. This can lead to a nuclear attack. Its speed reaches 24 Mac (about 30 thousand kilometers per hour).
What is a ballistic missile?
There are two types of missiles ballistic and cruise. Belistic missiles follow the ballistic tradition after launching. These are designed to deliver payloads (such as explosives or nuclear weapons) to the target. After launching long -range ballistic missiles, first fly upwards. They go out of the Earth’s atmosphere and mostly cover the distance. When they get closer to the target, they again dive into the atmosphere. During this time, they have the highest speed.
10 special things of Agni-V missile
1- The length of Agni-V is 17.5 m and the thickness is 2 m. It weighs 50,000kg. It can carry nuclear weapons up to 1,100 kg.
2- Agni-5 is a three-stage missile. It has a solid fuel -powered engine. It does not take much time to launch it due to solid fuel.
3- Agni-5 can be fired from the launcher on the truck. Due to this, it is difficult for the enemy to find out where Agni-5 has been deployed.
4- This missile is very accurate. For this, the missile has a ring laser zero-based in-placed in-placed in-place.
5- Agni-V is a “canisterized” missile. It is launched with pressure from a sealed canister before turning on the rocket motor. It is also called cold launch system.
6- It is a surface-to-surface-hit missile. It can be equipped with atoms and traditional weapons.
7- Agni-5 has the capacity of MIRV (Multiple Independent Targetable Reentry Vehicle). This means that a fire 5 missile can carry more than one atomic bomb with it. This can lead to attacking many enemy cities at a time. Due to this, it becomes more difficult to stop its attack.
8- The range of Agni-5 missile is said to be more than 5,000 kilometers. Its range includes Pakistan, Türkiye and China. However, some experts say that the range of this missile is said to be low. Its range can be up to 8000km.
9- Agni- V is the 5th version of the long-range surface to surface ballistic missile. It has been developed by DRDO.
10- Agni- V is India’s first ICBM. With this, India joined a group of countries like America, Russia, China, France, Israel, Britain and North Korea, which has the technique of making ICBM.
The world’s 10 ICBM
1- UGM-133A Trident II or Trident D5: It is a missile launched from submarine. It kills up to 7,800km with the entire load. Its range increases to 12,000 km when the explosive weight is reduced. It is with the US and the UK Navy.
2- LGM-30g Minuteman III: This American ICBM kills up to 13,000km. It can take many nuclear weapons together. Minuteman III is a major component of American nuclear capacity. It has been deployed in Silo across the US.

4- RS-24 yars or Topol-MR: This is Russian ICBM. It is a thermonucleer-skills missile equipped with MIRV. Its range is 12,000km.
5- R-29rmu 2.1 Laineer: It is a Russian liquid-fuel missile that is launched from a submarine. The missile kills 8,300km with full payload and 12,000km away with low payload. 12 nuclear weapons can be carried.
6-DF-41: This Chinese missile is also known as Dongfeng-41 or CSS-20. Its range is 12,000–15,000km. It is believed that it is capable of carrying to 10 mirv warheads.
7-Dong Feng 31 (DF-31): This Chinese missile range is 8,000 to 11,700km.
8- JL-3: This Chinese missile can be launched from a submarine. Its range is 9000 to 12000km.
9- M51: It is a French ballistic missile, which can be launched from submarines. It can kill up to 10,000km with low weight payload and 8,000km with full payload. 6-10 mirv TN 75 can carry thermonuclear warhead.
10- Agni-5: India’s atomic-capable ICBM. Its firepower is more than 5,000 kilometers. It is designed to carry 1.5 tonnes of nuclear weapons. It is capable of carrying several nuclear weapons simultaneously.
