India plans to test-fire 3,000 km range 'Agni-2 Prime' by next month


NEW DELHI: India is planning to test fire by next month 'Agni-2 Prime', an advanced nuclear-capable ballistic missile with a strike range of around 3,000 km.

"We are planning to test fire an advanced nuclear capable Agni-2 Prime missile by next month," Defence Ministry officials said here.

The new missile will be an advancement over the existing Agni-2, which has a strike range of 2,000 km.

The 'Agni-2 Prime' has been developed by making some changes in the Agni 2 missile and will have the same size of boosters which are there in the existing missile but will have an extended range of 1,000 km, they said.

Powered by solid fuel propellants, the 'Prime' will also have a better navigational system and greater accuracy in comparison to the Agni-2 missile.

Newer technologies have also been incorporated in the missile to make it lighter and the weapon system has also been provided with greater thrust.

India has developed a number of variants of the Agni missile series under the Integrated Missile Development Programme ( IMDP) with different striking ranges since the 80s.

It is also planning to carry out the first test firing of the Agni-5 ballistic missile by the end of this year, the sources said.

Agni-5 will be able to strike targets in range of 5,000 km and will make India join the league of select nations with such capabilities.

I am waiting for K-4,5 (4,000-6,000 Km) Ballistic Missile sea based with 3-12 MiRV from 3-4 of the Nucleur Submarine BM Arihant. That will complete India's strong 2nd Strike capability.

In Next 3-5 years, We will have ABM to kill any BM launched from 500-5000 KM range and K-4,5 to turn any country in 5,000 Km range into stone age if attacks India.

i believe Shaurya was also supposed to be test fired for a second time this year..... the original Agni 2 is fine already proven technology that goes back to the 80's and 90's the SFC just tests them regularly for training purposes kind of like how Russia test fires its missiles every year the Agni 2P will probably replace some of the older Agni 2 variants in the SFC arsenal

the end part of this year will hold some important Indian missile tests especially the Agni V god willing they will all be successful not 1 missile has failed a test fire yet this year.
