India has surprised everyone with its capability by successfully testing the Agni-5 missile amid rising tensions between New Delhi and Beijing. Why was China worried about India's Agni-5 missile? What is the big reason for the dragon's concern? What will be the effect of this missile on India's military capability? After all, why is this missile being called the fire arrow of India? What is its firepower? Along with this, you will also know what types of weapons are in the Chinese army. What is China's big plan? A comparative analysis of the missile capabilities of China and India.

 

China's major cause for concern

 

1- Actually, the Indian Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) Agni-5 is a cause of concern for China due to its firepower. Till now major cities of China were not covered by JD of Indian missiles. After the successful test of the Agni-5 missile, now it has reached major cities of China. It has a range of 5000 km. Especially it can burn major industrial cities of China to ashes. This missile is capable of dropping nuclear warheads. Its aim is accurate. It is very effective in hitting its target. On the other hand, China says that the firepower of Agni-5 is up to eight thousand kilometers. China says that the JD of this missile has 70 percent of the whole of Asia and Europe.

 

2- It is capable of hitting its target at a speed of 29,401 kmph. The Agni-5 missile can carry nuclear warheads up to 1500 kg. It can destroy any enemy city on sight. Its weight is about 50 thousand kg. The missile is 1.75 meters long. Its diameter is 2 meters. It is capable of carrying a 1.5-ton warhead. This missile is the deadliest surface-to-surface missile from India. It has been developed by DRDO and Bharat Dynamics Limited. India successfully test-fired it from APJ Abdul Kalam Island. DRDO is preparing to make different variants of Agni a great destroyer.

 

DRDO is also preparing 'Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV)'. The MIRV payload can carry four to six warheads in a single missile. They can be programmed to hit different targets. After this capability, India will reach the ranks of those few countries which have such capability. Its special feature is that the canister version of Agni-5 has been tested, which can be moved from one place to another very easily.

 

China's DF missile has power

 

1- Let us know what is the military capability of China in comparison to India. China has dangerous missiles in the DF series. China's DF-41 missile is capable of attacking any corner of the earth. Not only this, this missile can destroy many targets simultaneously. The dangerous DF-26 missile with China is extremely dangerous. Its firepower is unmistakable and precise. This missile is capable of carrying 1200 to 1800 kg of nuclear warheads. In China, it is known as a Guam killer. Guam is a US military base.

 

2- China's Dongfeng missile is extremely dangerous. It is capable of causing havoc not only in India but even in America. The Dongfeng missiles were manufactured by China with the help of the Soviet Union in the 1950s. The Dongfeng-1 and Dongfeng-2 missiles were the first to be built. Their range is 500 and 1250 km respectively. However, these missiles are no longer in military service. The DF-41 is the highest range (from 12 to 15 thousand km) missile in China's Dongfeng series. The DF-41 missile is capable of carrying 10 nuclear warheads simultaneously.

 

3- Significantly, to rule the world, China is continuously increasing its stock of killer missiles. Not only this, but China is also building many secret bases in its desert area to hide these missiles. China recently stunned the whole world by launching a hypersonic missile on Earth from space. According to the report of the US Defense Ministry, China has Dongfeng intercontinental missiles with a range of 12 to 15 thousand kilometers. In the year 2018, China had 75 to 100 missiles. These missiles of China are short-range, medium-range, and long-range.
