	India's Integrated Guided Missile Program- Agni I -Part 1 Agni-III is the third in the Agni series of missiles. The Agni I has a range of 700-800 km. Agni I is PAKISTAN SPECIFIC and the Agni-II as a range of 2,000--2,500 km which is used to target western china and pakistan. They are claimed to be a part of the "credible deterrence" against China and Pakistan. The Agni-II can only reach some parts of western China.

With a small stage added, it becomes a 5,000-km system. Even though I do not use the same motors, with certain...
