The test flight is unique for having the Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology, which ensures that the warhead can split into multiple re-entry vehicles to deliver a precise and targeted attack

A Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) payload enables ballistic missiles to carry multiple warheads, each capable of targeting different objectives. While primarily associated with intercontinental ballistic missiles, this concept extends to various missile types. Currently, MIRV systems are confirmed to be deployed by major nuclear powers like US, Russia.

India has joined the select group of nations with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle or MIRV technology with the first flight test of Mission Divyastra.

The announcement is a boost for the Indian defence forces who are facing challenges on the multiple fronts from the countries like Pakistan and China.

Technology integrated by Indian scientists delivers multiple warheads to different targets fired from same missile on the Agni-V platform.

New Delhi, Mar 11 (EFE).- India said Monday it successfully conducted the first test flight of an indigenously developed nuclear-capable long-range missile that can carry multiple warheads. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed the defense research institute, the Defense Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), for the achievement. “Proud of our DRDO scientists for Mission Divyastra, the …

India has successfully test-fired a domestically developed ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple nuclear warheads for the first time, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said yesterday.

India successfully test fired the new version of its long-range Agni-V nuclear missile, equipped with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology. The missile has indigenous avionics systems and high accuracy sensor packages. The MIRV capability increases the survivability of a nuclear missile. India has a no-first use policy for nuclear weapons.
