Agni-4 ballistic missile successfully test-fired in Odisha:

The launch successfully validated all operational and technical parameters. It was conducted under the aegis of the Strategic Forces Command, a part of India's Nuclear Command Authority (NCA).

The range increased even further with Agni-4, which can hit as far as 4,000 kilometres. The 20-metre-long missile can carry a payload of 1,000 kg and can be fired from a road-mobile launcher.

During its test launch in 2012, Agni-4 covered more than 3,000 km in 20 minutes. It was the longest-range mission flown by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) at the time. The Agni-4 missile was earlier called Agni-2 Prime.

The Agni missiles are designed and developed by the DRDO. With Agni-5, India's indigenously developed missiles have come a long way.

Good for them. They need to counter Chinas growing nuclear missile arsenal.

Becauae with India siding with Russia, hope they not expecting US to come to their defense if China attacks, can't play both sides. You either with us or not. Clearly they have not been.

If they think Russia will do anything if China attacks them then they seriously need their brain examined. They also need to seriously rethink if we will help them after their actions and continued cooperation with Russia.
