Mission Divyastra: India successfully conducts 1st flight test of nuclear-capable Agni-5 missile with MIRV tech
New Delhi: In a major boost to its military might in the midst of the eastern Ladakh row, India on Monday tested Mission Divyastra — the first flight test of indigenously developed Agni-5 missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology.
Top government sources said the launch will ensure that a single missile can deploy multiple warheads at different locations. The project director of Agni 5 is a woman and the development that will alter India’s geopolitical position has significant women’s contribution.
“With the test of Mission Divyastra, India has joined the select group of nations who have MIRV (multiple independently targetable rented vehicles) capability. “This system is equipped with indigenous Avionics systems and high accuracy sensor packages, which ensured that the re-entry vehicles reached the target points within the desired accuracy. The capability is an enunciator of India’s growing technological prowess,” government sources said.
