Agni Prime missile: About

The Agni Prime, also known as “Agni-P,” is a two-stage canisterized missile from the Agni class that is nuclear-capable and has a maximum range of 2,000 kilometres.
The Agni Prime missile has updated guidance and propulsion technologies and weighs 50% less than the Agni 3 missile.
