India successfully tests nuclear-capable surface-to-surface Agni-I missile

[Ashoka The Great]

Bhubaneswar: India Wednesday carried out a successful test of its nuclear-capable surface-to-surface Agni-I missile from a military base in Odisha, an official said.

The intermediate-range ballistic missile, which can strike a target 700 km away, was tested from a facility on Wheeler Island near Dhamra in Bhadrak district, 170 km from here.

The test was carried out by the Strategic Forces Command of the Indian armed forces as part of a training exercise to ensure preparedness, director of the Integrated Test Range, M.V.K.V. Prasad, said.

"The mission was successful," he said.

Scientists from the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), which developed the missile, witnessed and supervised the test, Prasad added.

I do remember one of our neighbor's user test resulting in bits and pieces of rocket falling all over their villages

700 kms are not intermediate...

700 kms are not intermediate...

Right........Classic case of TOI reporting

Is there any plan to phase out Agni I, considering we have developed other missile that come under the same range?

I think this was the second instance (1st one tested on 13th july this year) where we tested new guidance systems developed with the help of Israel.

I am not aware of any other ballistic missile with the same range. As per my understanding, following are the different missile with different ranges:

Agni-I MRBM 700 – 1,250 km
Agni-II IRBM 2,000 – 3,000 km
Agni-III IRBM 3,500 – 5,000 km
Agni-IV IRBM 3,000 – 4,000 km
Agni-V ICBM 5,000 – 8,000 km

What other missile are you reffering to?
