Agni-VI with multiple nuclear warheads, which can reach targets 6,000 km away, is all set to be developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). Only in April last, it carried out the maiden launch of Agni-V, which has a range of more than 5,000 km. So far, all the strategic missiles developed by the DRDO – Agni-I, II, III, IV and V, and the submarine-launched K-15 and its land-based version Shourya – can carry only single nuclear warhead. The DRDO’s tactical missiles and supersonic cruise missile BrahMos can carry one conventional warhead each.
