India on the Verge of Testing 9000 km Range 'Agni VI' ICBM, Full Induction Expected by 2027: American Scientists

India is reportedly on the brink of significantly bolstering its nuclear capabilities with the impending test and deployment of the Agni-VI intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), according to a report by the Federation of American Scientists.

This advanced missile system, expected to be operational by 2027, represents a major leap forward in India's strategic deterrence.

The Agni-VI is a solid-fueled, multi-stage missile designed to carry up to ten nuclear or thermonuclear warheads. Its Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) and Maneuverable Reentry Vehicle (MaRV) capabilities, coupled with decoy and chaff deployment, make it a formidable challenge to intercept. This enhanced accuracy and evasiveness significantly increase its strategic value.

Beyond its nuclear role, the Agni-VI, with a potential gross weight of 70 tonnes, can also launch military satellites into low Earth orbit. This Fractional Orbital Bombardment System (FOBS) capability provides India with additional strategic options and flexibility in its defence posture.

The development of the Agni-VI aligns with the recommendations of prominent strategic experts like Bharat Karnad, Brahma Chellaney, and Rakesh Krishnan Simha, who have long advocated for a robust ICBM force to enhance India's global strike capabilities.

While the DRDO Chief has previously denied the existence of the Agni-VI program, reports of its development persist both domestically and internationally. The upcoming full-range test, exceeding 9000km, is likely to draw considerable attention, particularly from Western media.

To mitigate potential diplomatic repercussions, it is speculated that India may officially declare a range of up to 9000km while conducting the test with a superheavy warhead. This strategy would effectively showcase the missile's capabilities without directly escalating tensions with other nuclear powers.

The Agni-VI's induction into India's strategic forces by 2027 will mark a significant milestone in the country's defence modernization efforts. It will not only strengthen India's nuclear deterrence but also enhance its position in the evolving global strategic landscape.
 
Great, let us get Agni6 operationalised even if we have to keep its true range of 12-16000kms with 10 mirv/marv under wraps…Also test the K5/6s…Jai Hind…Jai Bharat…
 
Agni-5 itself can now reach 7000 Km.

Agni-6 doesn't make sense with an increase of just 2000 Km to 9000 Km.
my guy, the range of a missile depends on the weight of the warhead. for Agni V with a super heavy warhead it can reach upto 5000 kms with mark 2 and lighter warheads it extends beyond 8000 kms. Similar logic will apply to Agni VI. IF you do not have anything useful to comment, at least do not comment nonsensically.

Take both missiles' range with maximum warhead lol XD
 
America is snake, we cannot trust him. They don't want us to have it because after India gets such power, they will have to hear us as well. Plus they will be little scared before talking rough to us. Why should not we deploy it?, when western world is in wars against every nation. They are not our friends....
 
A FOBS should have longer range as it can stay in orbit orbiting the globe.So actual range could be anywhere less than 14000 km if it keeps staying in orbit.
 
Great, excellent... feeling powerful already👍👍👍👍
As a culture lets first learn to not throw garbage around and drive with discipline before feeling proud for such things. Real impact for citizens and improving their lives is more important than bragging rights.
 
In short, India can strike anywhere on earth. FOBS is an important capability we are getting with A6. Please test it on Justin's house.
