Which of the following missile systems did India test within a 24-hour window in July 2025, showcasing strategic deterrence capabilities?
Prithvi-II, Agni-I
In July 2025 India successfully test-fired two short-range ballistic missiles, Prithvi-II and Agni-I, within a single 24-hour window from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, Odisha. Both are nuclear-capable surface-to-surface missiles maintained by the Strategic Forces Command, and the back-to-back launches were meant to validate their operational readiness and reinforce India's strategic deterrence.
Prithvi-II is a single-stage, liquid-fuelled tactical missile with a range of about 350 km, while Agni-I is a short-range ballistic missile with a range of roughly 700-900 km.
Why the others are wrong: Agni-V (an intercontinental-range missile) and BrahMos (a supersonic cruise missile) were not the pair tested in this 24-hour window. Astra is an air-to-air missile and Shaurya is a separate system, so that combination does not match the event. iDEX (Innovations for Defence Excellence) is a defence-innovation initiative, not a missile system at all.
Hence, the answer is Prithvi-II, Agni-I.
