India has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) indicating a likely missile test in the Bay of Bengal, following the successful August 2025 test of the Agni-V intercontinental ballistic missile, which showcased India’s 5,000 km range capability and strengthened its deterrence posture. The upcoming test may involve medium-range or intermediate-range missiles from the Agni series, aligning with India’s strategic goals to enhance its missile arsenal managed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). This planned test reflects meticulous safety measures and ongoing modernization efforts, reinforcing India’s position as a key strategic player amid evolving regional dynamics. The test is expected to bolster operational readiness and further signify India’s commitment to robust indigenous defense innovation and deterrence capabilities on the global stage.
