Far ahead of Pakistan, India’s Agni-5 ballistic missile was tested at the Abdul Kalam Testing Center on the Balasore coast of Odisha. The technology to increase the range has also been installed in this missile. Talking about China only, it can hit Beijing, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Shanghai in China. Pakistan does not have this missile system. This missile system is only with China, Russia, North Korea, America, and France. India is far ahead of Pakistan in terms of missiles. After this, India is preparing for the Agni-6 missile, whose firepower can be up to 12000 kilometers. However, how long will its testing last? No official information has been found about it.
Equipped With These Features
The weight of the Agni-5 missile is 50 tonnes, which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads up to 1.5 tonnes. The Strategic Forces Command of the Indian Army tested this missile from Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast.
