Description
The Agni is a family of Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles (IRBM) developed by India in connection with its nuclear weapons program. Basically, the nuclear capable Agni is a two-stage ballistic missile fitted with an accurate inertial navigation system. Their maximum ranges vary from 2,500 through 5,000 kilometers depending on the payload weight. The first stage is based on a solid propellant rocket motor booster and the second stage may be a shortened version of the Prithvi ballistic missile fueled by liquid propellant. So far, India has developed three versions of the Agni missile each one featuring increased range over their direct predecessor.
