What does American Minuteman III, Russian RT-2UTTKh Topol-M or Chinese Dongfeng-41 Intercontinental ballistic missile have in common?? , they all have the ability to hit targets in excess of more than 10000 km and give there respected countries ability to hit any country in the World , India will be among few elite countries who will soon have this capability when Agni-VI will be ready .
Agni-VI when compared to other missiles in its class will match in dimensions and weight but still range mentioned is just 6000 km rather then 10-12000 km. Does Indian missile really lack range? Or have terrible engines with higher fuel consumption!!! .
In public and in media Indian missile ranges mentioned is always effective range rather than Maximum range like mentioned by other countries, for example BrahMos from its first launch carried 290km range tag and it took more than a decade for BrahMos chief to accept that 290km is not the maximum range has told in media but he never went onto mention the real range of the missile.
Similar mention of 5000 km range on Agni-V was quickly dismissed by Chinese experts and western experts after first successful test flight Agni-V has under quoted , and Chinese expert went on and claimed Agni-V should have range of 8000km. so what could be range of Agni VI then ?
As per media reports Agni VI will be sleeker than the Agni-V and will have capability of carrying at least 10 nuclear warheads which will be capable of targeting multiple targets at the same time. Agni VI will also be Indias first missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) capability, what is also interesting is that Agni-VI will weight almost 10 tonnes more than Agni-V but will have coverage of only 6000 km over Agni Vs Claimed range of 5000 km?
Agni-VI according to experts will have range of around 10000 to 12000 km which will give India world coverage and capability to hit any country. Under mentioning of missile range must be to keep western media and politicians from ringing alarm bells over Indian missiles development and to avoid political pressure to stop development of missiles, work on Agni-VI begun even when testing and development phase of Agni V is yet to be completed. Agni VI will also lay foundation for development of SLBM based on Agni VI which will be a Game changer for India.
