The missile's range will allow the Indian military to target all of China from Agni-V bases, in central and southern India, further away from China. The missile is also likely to be similar to other missiles with a range of 10,000 km.
The missile was designed to be easy to transport by road, through the utilization of a canister-launch missile system, which is distinct from those of the earlier Agni missiles.
Agni-V would also carry MIRV (multiple independently targetable re-entry vehicles) payloads being concurrently developed. A single MIRV-equipped missile can deliver multiple warheads at different targets.
