Long, Hard Missile Goes Off Like Planned

The Indians are keeping an eye toward China with with the latest test-fire of their AGNI-3 missile.

The fourth flight of the Indian long range missile AGNI-3 with a range capability of 3,500 km was tested successfully by Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) last month. The missile was launched from the Wheeler Island, in the Bay of Bengal off the coast of Odisha. Overall, with a range of 3,500 km, Agni III is considered a potent weapon designed to balance a potential Chinese threat, rather than the Pakistani missiles. Compared to its Chinese peers - CSS-5 and DF-21, Agni III is considered more advanced.
