India has completed the first flight test of a home-grown missile with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) technology.

This was disclosed by India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. It is the latest development in India’s nuclear-capable Agni missile series, named after the Sanskrit word for “fire”, and part of a project launched in 1983.

The technology delivers multiple warheads to different targets fired from the same missile on the Agni-V platform, which has a range of 5,000 km, making it India’s sole contender for intercontinental ballistic missile long-range category.
