👉 Derby missiles are a series of medium-range ballistic missiles developed by India, primarily for strategic deterrence purposes. They are notable for their unique design, which includes a composite material casing that significantly reduces weight and increases durability. These missiles can carry both conventional and nuclear warheads, making them versatile for various military applications. The Derby family of missiles includes the Agni-I, Agni-II, Agni-III, and Agni-V series, with the Agni-V being the most advanced, capable of reaching targets over 5,000 kilometers away. Their deployment is part of India's broader nuclear deterrence strategy, aimed at ensuring national security and stability in the region.
