Why India Still Uses 20-Year-Old Agni-3 Missile

Why India Still Uses 20-Year-Old Agni-3 Missile India retains the Agni-3 intermediate-range ballistic missile nearly 20 years after its first flight as it occupies a distinct niche in the national nuclear deterrence architecture. While newer systems like Agni-Prime feature canisterized launch capabilities the Agni-3 offers a superior payload capacity of 1.5 tons. This heavy-lift ability enables the delivery of high-yield thermonuclear warheads or extensive penetration aids that lighter modern missiles cannot accommodate. The system is not outdated but rather evolved. Continuous upgrades to its navigation avionics and on-board computers have maintained its Circular Error Probability within modern lethality standards. Furthermore replacing the entire fully operational Agni-3 inventory would be strategically redundant and financially inefficient. By modernizing these existing assets India ensures a cost-effective and layered second-strike capability that complements the longer-range Agni-5 without leaving gaps in regional coverage. #Agni3 #IndianDefense #DRDO #BallisticMissile #NuclearDeterrence #AgniMissile #IRBM #StrategicForcesCommand #IndianArmy #MissileTechnology #DefenseNews #AgniSeries #NationalSecurity #MilitaryModernization #India #RepublicWorld #RepublicTV #BreakingNews #RepublicNews #IndiaNews #LiveNews #RepublicExclusive #RepublicWorldLive #ArnabGoswami #RepublicDigital #NationFirst Watch More ➡️ Videos On:    / @republicdefence   Visit Now ➡️ Full Story On: https://www.republicworld.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Republic TV is India's no.1 English news channel since its launch.
