| At the top of India's list of the world's 10 most advanced weapons is the Agni-V intercontinental ballistic missile, with a range of over 5,000 km. Within 5 minutes of identifying a threat, the Agni-V system can fire in retaliation. Each missile can carry a 1.5-ton nuclear warhead. (Image: defencenews.com) |

| The RUSTOM-II medium-range combat UAV is developed based on the American Predator UAV series. It has a ceiling of 6,700 meters; an operational radius of 300 km; a maximum speed of 150 knots (278 km/h); a continuous flight time of 15 hours; and a maximum takeoff weight of 800 kg.

| The next weapon is Project 15B – India's most advanced domestically built destroyer, measuring 163 meters in length and weighing 7,300 tons. It carries 8 BrahMos supersonic anti-ship missiles, 32 Barak-8 medium-to-long-range anti-aircraft missiles, along with a multi-function radar warning system and twin launchers for torpedoes and anti-submarine rockets.

| The NAG missile and the NAMICA launch vehicle. Considered the world's only anti-tank missile with a completely fiberglass structure, the NAG weighs 42 kg, uses an infrared imaging system to locate targets, has a flight speed of 230 meters per second, and can hit targets at a distance of approximately 4-5 km.
