Some chap was saying its actual range is 10k and carried 1 tonne warhead.
India has never tested a long range missile at its stated range. If this baby flew to "over 5000kms" as it's been said and confirmed by VK Saraswat, it means it has been a test for a longer range missile which has been tested at 5000km+. This baby should be an 8000km range. This kind of range is good for an SLBM that India will make out of the A5.

Someone seems unhappy


India being swept up by missile delusion

It seems India's path for boosting its military strength has not met too many obstacles. India is still poor and lags behind in infrastructure construction, but its society is highly supportive of developing nuclear power and the West chooses to overlook India's disregard of nuclear and missile control treaties. The West remains silent on the fact that India's military spending increased by 17 percent in 2012 and the country has again become the largest weapons importer in the world.

India should not overestimate its strength. Even if it has missiles that could reach most parts of China, that does not mean it will gain anything from being arrogant during disputes with China. India should be clear that China's nuclear power is stronger and more reliable. For the foreseeable future, India would stand no chance in an overall arms race with China.

India should also not overstate the value of its Western allies and the profits it could gain from participating in a containment of China. If it equates long range strategic missiles with deterrence of China, and stirs up further hostility, it could be sorely mistaken.

What's the mileage of this ?
Actually a very valid question. Similar sized Trident SLBM goes 12,000 kms. India has to work on propellant and propulsion systems to make this missile to that range. We cannot have a missile any bigger than this to go longer ranges. So with the same amount of fuel on board, it has to go to 12,000 kms.

they said,

"it was visually observed and made sure that missile hits its intended target."

when asked "why this is a china specific missile" he said " in 1992, china gifted missile building factories to bakistan. whenever we develop missile tech, china just up's technology given to bakistan and dragging it along to cross our path as proxy. with development of agni-5, china has to stop this and it cannot ignore or underestimate india anymore. plus, it brings all china's populated cities in our cross hairs.
