The announcement came three months after India successfully
tested its Agni-IV missile, which was previously the longest range missile
possessed by the armed forces capable of travelling 3,500 kilometres.
“The trial of Agni-V is planned for March and its individual
technologies and sub-systems have been tested and everything is fine,” a
spokesman for the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) told
AFP.
“Agni-V is a highly accurate and state-of-art missile system
which can carry nuclear weapons,” the official said, declining to disclose the
size of the warhead it could carry.
Agni means fire in Sanskrit language.
