On September 25, 2025, India achieved a major breakthrough in the defense sector. Today, Thursday, the DRDO successfully tested the rail-based Agni Prime Missile from the Chandipur test range in Odisha. This missile can easily target enemy targets up to 2,000 kilometers.
India gains a new strength!
India’s name joins this list after Russia, the United States, and North Korea, surprising even the enemy.
Rail-Based Missile System
On September 25, 2025, India achieved a major breakthrough in the defense sector. This has increased India’s strength.
Agni Prime Missile Launched from a Train
On September 25, 2025, India achieved a major breakthrough in the defense sector. Today, Thursday, the DRDO successfully tested the rail-based Agni Prime missile from the Chandipur test range in Odisha. This missile can easily target enemy targets up to 2,000 kilometers away.
Rail-Based Missile System
The Rail-Based Missile System’s unique feature is that it can be mounted on a train and launched. It looks exactly like a regular freight train, making it difficult for enemy forces to identify it.
India Defense Power
The Agni Prime missile has a fast-reaction missile. It can be fired even while moving. Multiple missiles can be stored on a single train, which has elevated India’s defense power to a new level. This is crucial from a security perspective.
Rail-Based Missile Launcher
With this new technology, India has joined the select group of countries that possess rail-based missile launchers. Previously, this capability was only held by countries like Russia, the United States, and North Korea, but now India has also joined this club.
India’s name follows these three countries.
Russia developed the RT-23 Molodets system during the Soviet era. The United States attached the Peacekeeper missile to a rail launcher. North Korea also conducted a similar test in 2021. Now, India has also achieved success in this area
Indian Missile Technology
Indian missile technology is continuously reaching new heights. China still relies heavily on truck-based missile systems and is working on rail-based technology, but India’s successful test could put it under pressure.
The DRDO test proves that India’s defense technology is becoming more modern. Now, India will be counted among the countries with rail-based missile systems. This will pose a challenge to its enemies in the future.
