List of Deadliest Missiles Used By India
AGNI-I
The Agni-1 is a short-range, road/rail-mobile, solid propellant ballistic missile. Falling between short-range and medium-range missile it fills the gap between AGNI-2 and India’s Prithvi Missile.

AGNI-5
The Agni-5 is India’s developing ICBM program which consists of a three-stage solid-fueled missile potentially with MIRV warheads. Though the missile has only been out to 5000 km. Classifying it is an intermediate-range missile. News reports and officials refer to missiles as an ICMB suggesting an extended range.

Possessed by: INDIA Alternate name: PJ-10
Range:300-350 km Status: Operational
Warhead: Submunitions,He
DHANUSH
Dhanush Missile is a short-range , ship based ballistic missile probably with a liquid propellant base. That is the naval version of India’s Dhanush missile.
DHANUSH AT A GLANCE
Originated from: INDIA Class: Short range ballistic missile
Possessed by: INDIA Basing: Ship launched
Range:250-400 km Status: Operational
Warhead: Nuclear , HE , FAE or chemical.
NIRBHAY
The Nirbhay is India’s first indigenously produced cruise missile. The missile is similar in appearance to the US Tomahawk and the Russian SS-N-27 with it’s the cylindrical fuselage. So far it’s unclear whether the missile will be ground, sea, or air-launched but its test suggests at least a ground-launched version. Additionally, the DRDO is working on a road-mobile truck platform.

Originated from: INDIA Class: subsonic cruise missile
Possessed by: INDIA Payload: 450 kg
Range:800-1000 km Status: Operational
Warhead: 12kt nuclear warhead
PRITHVI-1
The Prithvi class of ballistic missile make up most of India’s arsenal of short-range ballistic missiles, useful for more tactical and battlefield uses. All of these missiles are road-mobile allowing them to be deployed with maneuvering forces.
PRITHVI-I AT A GLANCE
Originated from: INDIA Class: short range ballistic missile
Possessed by: INDIA Basing: ground-launched
Alternate Names: P-1,P-2,P-3 Status: Operational
SAGARIKA/SHAURYA
The k-15 Sagarika is an indian submarine launched ballistic missile (SLBM) with a range of approximately 700km.
Early testing of shaurya happened on land with many suggesting it was the land-based version of Sagarika after tests in 2008 and 2011. The missile underwent its first undersea launch in march 2014 with an expanded range of 300km.
SAGARIKA/SHAURYA AT A GLANCE
Originated from: INDIA Range: 700-750 km / 3000-3500 km (Shaurya)

Propulsion : Two-stage solid propellant Diameter: 0.8m
EXOCET
The EXOCET missile series of a french short-range anti-ship cruise missile. There Exocet variants that differ by their launch platform and levels of modernization. These are the MM40 MM40 block3 sea and ground-launched model and the SM39 submarine-launched variant.
EXOCET MISSILE AT A GLANCE
Originated from: France Payload: single warhead
Possessed by: Numerous Range: 40-180km
Warhead: 165kg HE fragmentation or semi-armor piercing
PRITHVI-2/3
The Prithvi class of ballistic missiles is more useful for tactical and battlefield uses. All of the missiles are road-mobile allowing them to be deployed along with maneuvering forces.

If I am not wrong then Brahmos is only manufactured in India and only used by India. Brahmos Aerospace manufactures them. One of my close friends works there as a researcher. And it’s based upon P800 onik. Russia neither uses nor manufactures Brahmos
I have written that Russia and India have jointly made this missile I have not written that it is used by Russia there is a difference.
Hey buddy, I wasn’t criticizing you, I was just adding a point. Brahmos aerospace is the company which offered highest of 17 lpa ctc package in NIT Durgapur mechanical last year. My close friend got that package. He is currently working in manufacturing plant which is only one of its kind.
Now I am going away to do my breakfast, once having my breakfast coming
again to read other news.
