Agni-V missile is India's first ever intercontinental range ballistic missile designed and developed by Defense Research And Development Organisation (DRDO).

Now Let's take a look at the specifications of Agni-V missile.

Specifications of Agni-V:

Class: Inter Continental Ballistic Missile (ICBM)

Length: 17 m

Diameter: 2.0-2.2 m

Range: 5,000-8,000 km

Launch Weight: 49,000-55,000 kg

 

Agni-V is developed in such a way that It can be carried by a road mobile truck which means missile is capable of moving anywhere in the country. It consists of three stage solid fueled missile.This range covers all china and parts of Europe. With this India is now part of ICBM Club where until now only five countries had this technology across the globe: United States, Russia, China, France and Britain.

Agni V is programmed to reach the peak of the trajectory and then turn back towards the earth, towards the target. By doing o it gains more speed because of the gravitational pull by the earth. Atmospheric air rubbing the skin of the missile during the re-entry phase raises the temperature to beyond 4000 degrees Celsius.

Agni-V is three stage, solid propellant, surface to surface, nuclear capable missile that can reach Beijing, can easily hit 70 percent of Europe. It has MIRV capabilities which means It can carry multiple warheads to engage with multiple targets.

The China too has ICBM technology which can hit targets upto 13000 kms has raised concerns over the test of Agni-V which is actually a good news for India. Chinese foreign ministry made noise over Agni-V calling It is affecting Strategic balance and stability in South Asia.

"Put down weapons on border for one day to protest against release of Padmavat", asks Karni Sena president

Image
You need to see what Rajput Karni Sena asked "Kshatriya Jawans" to do to boycott the release of Padmavat. Mahipal Singh Makrana, who is the president of Rajput Karni Sena called on "Kshatriya" jawans to put their arms on the border and not to eat mess food for one day to show their protest against the release of Padmavat. As soon as I read the news, it took no time to realise that to what extent can they go to ban a movie. They are seen openly threatening theatre houses who'd release the film anywhere in India even after the rule out of Supreme Court. Whether it is the distortion with the history or not is a different matter and debatable issue as well but to threaten the cinema houses in national televisions, provoking people and especially army jawans is the most disgusting thing they could ever do. I don't even understand the logic behind calling on "Kshatriya" jawans to put down their weapons on borders and not to eat mess food for one day. ...
