First rail-based launch of Agni-1P MRBM! This significantly increases the number of potential launch points and makes pre-emptive destruction difficult.

The Indian Ministry of Defense announced the first test launch of the Indian medium-range Agni-Prime missile from a rail launcher. Agni-Prime is a two-stage, medium-range, surface-to-surface ballistic missile. The solid-fuel, two-stage Agni-Prime missile weighs 11 tons and has a warhead estimated to weigh up to 3,000 kg. The missile is 10.5 meters long and has a range of up to 2,000 km. This is the sixth launch of the missile; the first test launch of Agni-Prime took place in June 2021. Rail-based missile systems are in service with Russia, the United States, and China.
