A weapon with high penetration capacity like the American GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) recently used against Iran, is being conceptualized in India.
Reports suggest India has initiated early development of a conventional variant of its Agni-V intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), likely equipped with a powerful 7.5-tonne warhead. This move represents a key step in India’s missile strategy—repurposing the nuclear-capable Agni-V platform for non-nuclear, high-impact missions.
The project signals India’s intent to enhance its strategic and tactical versatility, providing the capability to deliver massive conventional strikes over long distances.
It also reflects a broader shift toward precision-guided conventional deterrence, aimed at addressing emerging regional threats and maintaining strategic dominance without crossing the nuclear threshold.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why India’s conventional Agni-V variant is a deeply troubling development for Pakistan & China ?
