Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday announced that India successfully carried out the maiden flight of Agni-5 missile with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) technology.
This will enable the missile to deliver multiple nuclear warheads against different targets spread across hundreds of miles.
The PM also revealed the code name for the historic test, Mission Divyastra (meaning: divine weapon)
This has propelled India into an exclusive league of countries that have the capability to deploy MIRV missile systems, including the US, the UK, France, Russia, and China.
The PM posted on X,
“Proud of our DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organization) scientists for Mission Divyastra, the first flight test of indigenously developed Agni-5 missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology,”
