DRDO, in collaboration with Strategic Forces Command, successfully test-fired the Agni-Prime (Agni-P) missile from a rail-based mobile launcher, capable of striking targets up to 2,000 km. This first-of-its-kind launch enhances rapid deployability and low visibility. Equipped with advanced communication and safety systems, the missile met all mission objectives. Defence Minister Rajnath Singh congratulated the teams, noting India is now among the few nations with canisterized rail-launched missile capability, strengthening its strategic deterrence and rapid-response capabilities.
