India is upgrading its Agni and Akash missile systems to enhance their operational range. The move aims to strengthen the country's defence capabilities.
India has initiated upgrades to its Agni and Akash missile systems with the goal of increasing their strike range. The upgrades are part of ongoing efforts to modernise the armed forces' artillery.
The Agni series, comprising ballistic missiles, and the Akash surface-to-air missile system are key components of India's defence arsenal. Enhancing their range will allow deeper engagement of targets.
Defence officials said the upgraded systems will undergo testing before induction. The initiative reflects India's focus on self-reliance in defence technology.
