Divyastra Makes Its Debut | In Conversation With Former DRDO Chief Dr Avinash Chander |

On Monday, the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) achieved a milestone with the successful maiden flight test of the Agni-5 missile, featuring the indigenous Multiple Independently Targetable Re-Entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology. Named 'Mission Divyastra', the test was conducted from Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island (formerly known as Wheeler Island) in Odisha. With a reach extending to 5000 km, Agni-5 is India’s sole contender for the long-range Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) category. Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicles (MIRVs) are integral to its design. It features several re-entry vehicles, each capable of carrying 2–10 nuclear warheads. These warheads offer the flexibility to be designated for diverse targets spread across hundreds of kilometers or directed collectively towards a single location. Speaking about the significance of this test and the road ahead, Dr Avinash Chander, former DRDO head and distinguished missile scientist, said India now has a robust eco-system that has developed many indigenous capabilities because of continuing denial of technologies by advanced nations. He was speaking to Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale.
