India ready to testfire 5,000 km range Agni-V within a year

With the Agni-III intermediate range ballistic missile recording three successful test flights in a row, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) scientists are now aiming for a larger goal – putting the 5,000 km Agni-V missile on the test-bed. DRDO top officials revealed this on Wednesday adding that the testfire would be conducted "within a year", enabling India to bring all the possible targets in China and Pakistan within its striking radius.
