5 പരീക്ഷണം വിജയം
India today ,15th September,2013 conducted
a second test flight of its indigenously developed nuclear- capable 'Agni-V'
long-range ballistic missile, which has a strike range of more than 5000 km,
from the Wheeler Island off Odisha coast.The three stage, solid
propellant missile was test-fired from a mobile launcher from the launch
complex-4 of theIntegrated Test Range (ITR) at about 8:50 AM, defence
sources said.The surface-to-surface missile, which can carry a nuclear
warhead of more than one tonne, witnessed an 'auto launch' and
detail
results of the trial will be known after thorough analyses of all data
retrieved from different radars and network systems, they said.
'The sleek missile, within a few seconds of its blast-off from the Island launch pad, roared majestically into a clearsunny sky leaving behind a trail of thin orange and white column of smoke and within seconds it pierced into sky,' saidan eye-witness to the launch.Today's launch, conducted in the presence of defence scientists and experts, was the second developmental trial ofthe long range missile while the first test was conducted on 19 April, 2012 which was a total success.The indigenously developed missile Agni-V is capable of striking a range of more than 5000 km. It is about 17 mete long and 2 metres wide with launch weight of around 50 tonnes. Unlike other missiles of indigenously built Agni series,the latest one 'AGNI-V' is the most advanced version having some new technologies incorporated with it in terms of
navigation and guidance, warhead and engine.Many new technologies developed indigenously were successfully tested in the first Agni-V trial. The redundant
navigation systems, very high accuracy Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System (RINS) and the most modern andaccurate Micro Navigation System (MINS) had ensured the missile reach the target point within few meters of accuracy.The high speed onboard computer and fault tolerant software along with robust and reliable bus guided the missile
flawlessly, said a defence official.In the Agni series, India at present has Agni-1 with 700 km range, Agni-2 with 2000 km range, Agni-3 and Agni-4 with
2500 km to more than 3500 range.After some more trials, Agni-V will be inducted into the services, the sources said.

ഇന്ത്യയുടെ ദീര്‍ഘദൂര ഭൂഖണ്ഡാന്തര ബാലിസ്റ്റിക്
മിസൈല്‍ അഗ്നി 5 വിജയകരമായി പരീക്ഷിച്ചു. ഒഡീഷയിലെ വീലര്‍ ദ്വീപില്‍നിന്നായിരുന്നു
പരീക്ഷണ വിക്ഷേപണം. വിക്ഷേപണം വിജയകരമായിരുന്നുവെന്ന് പ്രതിരോധ ഗവേഷണ കേന്ദ്രമായ
ഡിആര്‍ഡിഒ അറിയിച്ചു. ഇന്ത്യയുടെ മിസൈല്‍
ശേഖരത്തിലെ ഏറ്റവും പ്രഹരശേഷിയേറിയ മിസൈലായ അഗ്നി 5 ന്റെ ആക്രമണപരിധി 5000
കിലോമീറ്ററാണ്. അഗ്നി 5 ന്റെ നാല് പരീക്ഷണ വിക്ഷേപണങ്ങള്‍ക്കൂടി ഉടന്‍
നടക്കുമെന്ന് അധികൃതര്‍ പറഞ്ഞു. ഡിആര്‍ഡിഒ ശാസ്ത്രജ്ഞര്‍ പൂര്‍ണമായും തദ്ദേശീയമായി വികസിപ്പിച്ചെടുത്തതാണ് അഗ്നി 5
മിസൈല്‍ . ഒരു ടണ്ണിലേറെ ഭാരമുള്ള ആണവായുധം വഹിക്കാന്‍ ശേഷിയുള്ള മിസൈലിന് പതിനേഴ്
മീറ്റര്‍ നീളവും 50 ടണ്‍ ഭാരവുമുണ്ട്. യു.എസ് , റഷ്യ, ചൈന എന്നീ രാജ്യങ്ങള്‍ക്ക്
മാത്രമാണ് ഇതുവരെ ഭൂഖണ്ഡാന്തര മിസൈലുകള്‍ സ്വന്തമായുണ്ടായിരുന്നത്.
