    The introduction of ICBM’s in the regional can effect the security equation in the region. It is likely to further whip arms race in the region.Agni-V is a China-specific, but it can reach
    to Europe as well. But the fact remains that India desire to
    be a regional as well as the world power.So as the Range of Agni V the policy should be to sensitize the danger posed by Agni V system to states under
    its strike envelope.

  2. Since decades this nonsense DRDO N billions spent on Military, where is the progress? INDIANS! LEARN TO KEEP YOUR COUNTRY OUT OF MISERABLE CONDITIONS! Nobody is truly impressed with your sub-grade AGNI V. Showing off ballistic missiles test has not been fashionable since the cold war. You only are putting yourself up in line with the North Koreans and Iranians. Stop wasting your money and embarrassing yourselves!

    Agni-v is a threat globally its range up to 5000kms, can endanger stability in European Union countries, China, South Asia and Central Asian states. India with its fragile economy should restrict itself from such behaviors, as it will blot on India’s image. Iran condemns such advancements, as it will bring instability in the balance of power vis-à-vis China.
