Agni-3 missile was successfully tested at Abdul Kalam Wheeler Island in Odisha. It has been 11 years since this missile was inducted into the army. It is an intermediate-range ballistic missile. Which is capable of carrying nuclear weapons. However, it can also attack with conventional and thermobaric weapons. It has the same technology as MIRV, a technique for attacking multiple targets simultaneously.
The biggest feature of Agni-3 missile is its speed. But before that we talk about its range. The range of this missile is said to be 3 to 5 thousand kilometers. That is, by reducing or increasing the weight of the weapon, the range can be increased or decreased. A range of 3 to 5 thousand kilometers means a large part of China, entire Pakistan, entire Afghanistan, Horn of Africa, Arab countries, Indonesia, Myanmar and many other countries are under its control. That is, you can use this missile for your security all around.
The speed of Agni-3 missile is Mach 15. Means 18,522 kilometers per hour. This is a scary pace. That is, the speed of 5 to 6 kilometers per second. The missile flying at this speed does not give the enemy a chance to breathe or even blink an eye. The weight of this 17 meter long missile is 50 thousand kg. It is said that it costs 25 to 35 crores to make an Agni-3 missile. It is released from the 8x8 Transporter Erector Launcher.
The aerial distance of China's capital Beijing from Delhi is 3791 km. Agni-3 missile runs at a speed of 5-6 kilometers per second. Accordingly, the distance to Beijing will be covered in 12.63 minutes. The aerial distance of Pakistan's capital Islamabad is 679 km. Here, Agni-3 missile will create havoc in just two and a half minutes.
