Agni-III is the third weapon in the Agni series of missiles developed by the Defiance Research Development Organization (DRDO) . Agni III based upon the powerful solid propellant in its both stages.

Agni-III was first testfired on July 9, 2006 from Wheeler Island off the coast of the eastern state ofIndia , Ordissa. After the unsuccessful launch, it was found by the DRDO scientists that the second stage of the rocket did not separated from the body and the missile had fallen well short of its pre determined target.

 

 

Agni-III was again tested after ratifying the technical glitch on April 12, 2007, and this time it was successfully hit the target , again from Wheeler Island close to odissa cost. On May 7, 2008 India again tested it successfully.

This was the third consecutive test it confirmed the Agni-III's's operational readiness while extending the reach of India's nuclear deterrent to most high-value targets of the nation's most likely adversaries.

Agni-III has capability to cover the range of 3,500 km and can have a warhead of 1.5 tonnes. It has been claimed that the missile's circular error probable (CEP) lies within of 40 meters only, this makes Agni-III most accurate and deadliest strategic ballistic missiles of its range class in the world.

The CEP of Agni-III IS of special significance for the Indian Scientists because a highly accurate ballistic missile increases the "kill efficiency" of the weapon; it also allows Indian weapons scientists to use smaller yield nuclear warheads (200 kiloton thermonuclear or boosted fission) while increasing the lethality of its strike.

This allows country to deploy a much powerful nuclear warhead using less fissile/fusion material (plutonium/lithium deuteride) than other nuclear material.

Older ballistic missiles deployed by other nuclear power countries needs larger yield (1-2 megaton) warheads to achieve the same level of lethality. It has also been reported that with smaller payloads, the Agni-III can hit strategic targets well beyond 3,500 km this makes this missile ultra dangerous for enemy.
