# India To Test 5,500-km Agni-V Ballistic Missile On Sunday

[![](https://www.livefistdefence.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/AGNI-V-LAUNCH-28129-784847-MOTION.gif)](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RHA8SwZ19EQ/UewKenuKDMI/AAAAAAAAUpQ/IwV3-mu1GLk/s1600/AGNI-V+LAUNCH+%25281%2529-784847-MOTION.gif)

The second test of India's 5,500+ km range Agni-V ballistic missile is scheduled for Sunday, Sept 15 from Wheeler Island in the Bay of Bengal. This will be the second test of India's longest range strategic nuclear-capable weapon after its debut test on April 19 last year. Top sources tell me the Agni-V will be tested in a cannisterised configuration in December.
