With the test fire of Agni-V missile, India entered an exclusive league of nations with a nuclear-capable weapon system. The test firing the Agni five missile was postponed after bad weather conditions yesterday. The test took place today from Wheeler Island in Odisha. The missile has a range of 5,000 kilometres, a marked improvement over India's current missiles which can hit potential enemy targets over a distance of just 3,500 kilometres. <br />DRDO plans to conduct more such tests of the missile over the next one year after studying and analyzing the parameters achieved in each subsequent trial. The Agni V is capable of carrying nuclear warheads and will be crucial for India's defence against China. If the trial is successful, it will club India into a select band of countries in the world to possess the technology for Inter-Continental Ballistic Missiles. <br /> <br />For more log onto- http://alpha.newsx.com
