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.
