Defense Updates has just uploaded this YT video concerning the Agni 5 and its successful first test-flight (This will no doubt be of concern for the PRC):

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday announced that India successfully carried out the maiden flight of Agni-5 missile with multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicle (MIRV) technology.

This will enable the missile to deliver multiple nuclear warheads against different targets spread across hundreds of miles.

The PM also revealed the code name for the historic test, Mission Divyastra (meaning: divine weapon)This has propelled India into an exclusive league of countries that have the capability to deploy MIRV missile systems, including the US, the UK, France, Russia, and China.

The PM posted on X,“Proud of our DRDO (Defence Research and Development Organization) scientists for Mission Divyastra, the first flight test of indigenously developed Agni-5 missile with Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology,”

In this video, Defense Updates analyzes why India’s MIRVed Agni-5 is a terrifying prospect for China?

Here's a Defense Update video from a few months ago concerning India's ABM programme:

India's Defence Research & Development Organization (DRDO) has progressed the development of its Phase II Ballistic Missile Defence (BMD) interceptor through a flight test conducted on 24 July.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) in New Delhi said the endo-atmospheric interceptor – also known as the AD-1 missile – was launched from the DRDO's integrated test range (ITR) in Chandipur, Odisha, on India's east coast.

According to the MoD, the new test featured the launching of a target missile from the DRDO's ITR or Integrated Test Range on Abdul Kalam Island, about 70 km or 44 miles south of Chandipur, at 1620 h local time. The Phase II interceptor was launched four minutes later.
