Experts say that this missile is made for the long-term security of India. The Agni-5 missile can destroy almost any target in the entire Asian continent, including the northern part of China, a part of Europe.

According to the report of Times of India, the ballistic missile made by India weighs 50 tons. It is the latest missile in the Agni series capable of carrying nuclear warheads. This missile can travel up to 5000 km. On the other hand, the range of Agni-1 to Agni-4 missiles was between 700 km and 3500 km.

Meanwhile, Sino-Indian tensions have arisen over the entry of surveillance ships into the Bay of Bengal. According to Indian media reports, a Chinese vessel named ‘Xian Yang Hong-1’ was spotted less than 260 nautical miles off the coast of Visakhapatnam. It is believed that China is sending the ship to monitor the east coast of India. However, Beijing has not officially announced anything about this.

Recently, another Chinese surveillance ship named ‘Xian Yang Hong-3’ anchored at Malé port in Maldives. According to a group of experts, the ship is being sent to carry out ‘surveys’ ahead of China’s special submarine operation. However, India does not take well to the movement of Chinese surveillance ships near the missile base at APJ Abdul Kalam Island and the naval base at Visakhapatnam.

China has claimed that the vessel Xian Yang Hong-3, which is docked at the port of Maldives, will be engaged in deep-sea research in the Indian Ocean from January to the last week of May. Earlier they also spoke about the presence of such ships in Sri Lanka for sea research. But the reports of international military monitoring organizations say that these Chinese ships use the Sri Lankan port as a harbor to monitor the Indian Navy’s movements and missile tests.
