Agni-V (Sanskrit: अग्नि; lit. Fire) is a land based nuclear MIRV-capable intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) of India. The missile has a base range of 5,400 kilometres (3,400 mi), which can reportedly be extended to intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) ranges of more than 7,000 km (4,300 mi). It is a three-stage, road-mobile, canisterised and solid-fueled ballistic missile. It is one of the fastest missiles in the world, reaching speeds up to Mach 24 (29,400 km/h).
