International News: Along with China and Pakistan, the Agni-5 missile is capable of attacking Japan, Southern Russia, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and the northwestern waters of Australia. The range of the missile is 5 thousand km. A warhead of up to 2 tonnes can be installed in it. The echo of India's Agni-5 missile launch is being heard from America to Britain. Its lethality and range have increased the tension of many countries. With its launch, this missile has endangered the borders of countries like China and Pakistan as well as Russia, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia. In case of war, this missile equipped with a nuclear warhead can attack these countries within minutes. According to the Indian Defense Ministry, the Agni-5 missile was launched in Chandipur, Odisha. The missile was launched in the Indian Ocean. India took all precautions for this.

Why is the Agni-5 missile special?

The Agni-5 missile launched by India will have a heavy warhead of about 7.5 to 8 tonnes. This missile can be used in two ways. First. Airburst means the missile will explode in the air and explode in a large area and will destroy the runway, airbase, and radar system. Second, it works like a bunker buster bomb. It can destroy targets up to 80 km inside the ground. It can be used to destroy the enemy's underground command center or places where nuclear weapons are stored.

The Agni-5 missile can attack by taking a 90-degree sharp turn. The weight of this missile is 50 tonnes. The range of the missile is around 5 thousand km. However, DRDO has not officially confirmed this.

Which countries can it attack?

Newsweek magazine has done an analysis of its range. According to it, all of China and Pakistan are within the range of the Agni-5 missile. Apart from this, this missile is capable of attacking Japan in the east, Southern Russia in the north, Iraq and Saudi Arabia in the west, and the northwest waters of Australia in the south. Overall, this missile can cause devastation in 5 more countries along with South Asia. In September 2024, the Federation of American Scientists said in a report on Indian nuclear weapons, "The Agni-5 is kept in a sealed canister on the launcher, which means that the warhead can be permanently attached to the missile."
