## Answers

### Answer by Saumya Mishra

**India test-fired the nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) Agni-V on December 15, 2022 from Abdul Kalam Island in Odisha.**

- The Agni-V has a range of over **5,000 km**, which means that it can reach any part of China from India. It is also one of the few ICBMs in the world that can carry a multiple re-entry vehicle (MRV) warhead, which means that it can deliver multiple nuclear warheads to different targets with a single missile.
- The successful test-fire of the Agni-V is a significant achievement for India, as it demonstrates the country's growing missile capabilities. It also sends a strong message to China, which has been developing its own ICBM arsenal at a rapid pace.
- India has maintained a "**no first use**" policy on nuclear weapons, which means that it will only use nuclear weapons if it is attacked by another nuclear power. However, the development and deployment of the Agni-V missile gives India a credible nuclear deterrent against China.
