Agni-Prime tested again:
New Generation Ballistic Missile ‘Agni Prime’ was successfully flight-tested by Defence Research and
pib.gov.in
Apparently this was the last pre-induction trial. The Strategic Forces Command (SFC) was hands-on with this test.
So it seems the the MRBM-class deterrence delivery system intended toward Pakistan is set for a generational leap. The deterrence against Pakistan was till now being served by the old Agni-1 and Agni-2 MRBMs developed in the 80s and 90s respectively. They will be retired & replaced by something far better - being lighter, smaller, having more advanced penetration aids & of course a very high degree of maneuverability both inside & outside the atmosphere thanks to DACS + Fins.
Of course by the time it's inducted it'll probably receive a new designation...the 'Prime' label is always intended only for the Tech-Demo/testing phase.
Also, it seems SFC has determined that a MIRV bus is unnecessary for the deterrence equation toward Pakistan. So I wouldn't be surprised if the MIRVs will be limited to IRBMs & above.
Just MaRVs for Pakistan.
