India carried out a successful training launch of the Agni-1 ballistic missile from APJ Abdul Kalam island in Odisha state, the Defence Ministry said in a statement.This ballistic missile will validate all operational and technical parameters of the strategic weapon.The development of Agni-1 began in 1999, and the missile underwent its first successful test launch in 2003 after a failed attempt a year prior. Last year in December, India also tested its Agni-V nuclear-capable ballistic missile, which can strike targets at ranges up to 5,000 km.The purpose or need for such sea-based missiles is to neutralize a hostile ballistic missile threat.

Agni series missiles are intercontinental ballistic missiles developed by India ranging in several series (I to VI). Agni 1, the first series of missiles, weighs around 12,000 kg and has a range of 700 km.
India carried out a successful training launch of the Agni-1 ballistic missile from APJ Abdul Kalam island in Odisha state, the Defence Ministry said in a statement.
This ballistic missile will validate all operational and technical parameters of the strategic weapon.
“The missile is a proven system, capable of striking targets with a very high degree of precision. The user training launch successfully validated all operational and technical parameters of the missile,” the statement said.
The development of Agni-1 began in 1999, and the missile underwent its first successful test launch in 2003 after a failed attempt a year prior.
Last year in December, India also tested its Agni-V nuclear-capable ballistic missile, which can strike targets at ranges up to 5,000 km.
The purpose or need for such sea-based missiles is to
neutralize a hostile ballistic missile threat.
