Agni Prime is a high-tech and strong missile which renders the nuclear protection of India tight. It is more accurate, fast, and light when compared to the previous missiles.
It is able to move freely along the roads and railways, and this makes it more difficult to be detected and prevented by the enemies.
This implies that India is able to react promptly in case of need. Agni Prime is made with high technology, which makes it evade any missile defense and strike a target more accurately. All in all, Agni Prime is a large stride in Indian security and it demonstrates that India is becoming more powerful in missile technology. It is causing India to be safer and better equipped in case of any threat.
