The insightful articles, inspiring narrations and analytical perspectives presented by the Editorial Team, establish an alluring connect with the reader. My compliments and best wishes to SP Guide Publications.
"Over the past 60 years, the growth of SP Guide Publications has mirrored the rising stature of Indian Navy. Its well-researched and informative magazines on Defence and Aerospace sector have served to shape an educated opinion of our military personnel, policy makers and the public alike. I wish SP's Publication team continued success, fair winds and following seas in all future endeavour!"
Since, its inception in 1964, SP Guide Publications has consistently demonstrated commitment to high-quality journalism in the aerospace and defence sectors, earning a well-deserved reputation as Asia's largest media house in this domain. I wish SP Guide Publications continued success in its pursuit of excellence.
The Agni family of strategic ballistic missiles, barring the under trial Agni-V, will be tested in a rapid series of launches starting this month. The in-service Agni-I, Agni-II and Agni-III will be tested as part of an exercise by the Strategic Forces Command, while the Agni-IV, yet to join service, will undergo a development test by the Advanced Systems Laboratory (ASL) at the Integrated Test Range off Odisha's coast.
The next test of the Agni-V is likely next year, following its second successful test in September this year. With ranges of between 700-6,000 km, the Agni series missiles constitute the bedrock of India's land-based strategic deterrent. The DRDO is also lining up a series of other missile tests, including the Prahar and K-15, both successfully demonstrated in the last three years. Early next year, the DRDO will also be looking to re-test the Nirbhay cruise missile that failed its debut launch in March this year.
