India successfully test-fires surface-to-surface ballistic missile Agni-5 The launch took place at pm today. India tests Agni-V missile, with 5, km range In a bid to send a strong signal to China following the continuous 17 month confrontation in eastern Ladakh, India tested it's surface to surface ballistic missile, Agni-V which has a range of 5, km, on Wednesday evening.

Countries in South Asia should make efforts for peace: China "Maintaining peace, security and stability in South Asia means the common interest of all," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian told a media briefing here, replying to a question about reports that India plans to test Agni-V missile. India behind China and Pakistan in nuclear-warheads but not worried The nine nuclear-armed countries together possess an estimated 13, nuclear weapons, with Russia 6, warheads and the US 5, leagues ahead of the rest.

Many Indian people have complaints toward their government on various issues, and many contradictions can be seen at home. The epidemic continues to severely impact India's economy, and the Modi government appears to lack an effective approach to deal with it.

Furthermore, a yearlong series of ongoing protests by farmers against the Indian government has also stepped up. Against this backdrop, the Modi administration is eager to find a new external hotspot issue to divert domestic attention. This has been one of the Modi administration's old tricks, which China has got used to. India began testing the Agni series of missiles in with the first test for Agni 1, an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile, with a range of around 1, km.

It means that the missile can be launched from road and rail platforms, making it easier for it to be deployed and launched at a quicker pace.

The canisterisation, which is an encapsulated system in which the missile is stored and launched from, also gives the missile a longer shelf life, protecting it from the harsher climatic conditions.

While India is among the handful of nations with arguably ICBM capability, the next generation of the missile, Agni VI, under development, is expected to have a range of around 8, km. Regarding hypersonic missile technology tested by China recently , India is among a select few serious contenders working towards it, even though it is behind China, the US and Russia. However, senior defence establishment sources said that it is still an idea that is being considered. About 10 days ago, The Financial Times reported that China had in August tested a new hypersonic missile, which is nuclear capable, which circled the earth before moving towards its target, missing it by two dozen miles.

The vehicle is capable of carrying nuclear payloads, which gives the launching country the strategic capacity to attack almost any target across the world. The Financial Times reported that the test by China had caught the US intelligence agencies by surprise. These missiles, meant to carry nuclear payloads, have the capacity to carry several warheads. While an ICBM follows a parabolic trajectory, which mean it goes up and then comes down in a high arc—like when you throw up a ball, only much higher, further and faster—a hypersonic glide vehicle orbits the earth at a lower height, and is manoeuvrable.

The ability to change track or target, mid-trajectory, along with the speed, makes them tougher to track and defend against.
