<\/u>Fue ensayado exitosamente por tercera vez, el Misil con capacidad nuclear AGNI \u2013 V. Considerado una herramienta de disuasi\u00f3n\u00a0 principalmente contra China, su alcance estimado en 5.000km le permitir\u00eda batir objetivos en cualquier punto de Asia e incluso partes de Africa y Europa. Dispone adem\u00e1s de la capacidad de portar cabezas m\u00faltiples del tipo MIRV (Multiple Independently Reentry Vehicle), lo cual hace m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil su neutralizaci\u00f3n por parte de los sistemas de Defensa A\u00e9rea.<\/p>\n
Considered<\/span>\u00a0a major deterrent against China, Agni-V is expected to join India’s Strategic Forces Command very soon. The missile is\u00a0capable<\/span>\u00a0of hitting targets anywhere in Asia, and parts of Africa and Europe.<\/strong><\/p>\n India successfully\u00a0test<\/span>-fired its longest range nuclear\u00a0capable\u00a0Agni V missile on Monday morning from a defense\u00a0test\u00a0facility in the eastern\u00a0coast<\/span>\u00a0of Odisha. Agni-V is a canisterised, road-mobile nuclear-capable\u00a0missile developed under a $375 million project sanctioned by the government in 2008.<\/p>\n This is the third successful\u00a0test\u00a0of the missile this year. Defense scientists along with the Strategic Forces Command tested the missile in January and June of this year.<\/p>\n The 17-metre-long, 2-metre-wide, three-stage, solid-fuelled missile weighing around 50 tonnes and\u00a0capable\u00a0of carrying a payload of 1.5 tonnes is being\u00a0considered\u00a0a major deterrent against China.<\/p>\n China had openly expressed\u00a0discontent<\/span>\u00a0over India’s Agni-V project when the missile was tested in December 2016. China had said the\u00a0test\u00a0was against UN Security\u00a0Council<\/span>\u00a0rules and that it threatened to disrupt the strategic geopolitical balance in South Asia.<\/p>\n Indian scientists aim to equip the Agni-V with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles (MIRVs). MIRVs are multiple warheads fitted on a single re-entry vehicle that help a\u00a0ballistic<\/span>\u00a0missile to evade enemy missile defense systems. The Agni series of missiles have been developed by the\u00a0Defence<\/span>\u00a0Research Development Organisation and are part of India’s expensive and time-consuming quest for an integrated guided missile defense system.<\/p>\n
