India recently achieved a significant milestone in its missile program with the successful testing of Multiple Independently Targetable Reentry Vehicle (MIRV) technology on the Agni-V ballistic missile. This breakthrough has raised questions about the potential impact on India's nuclear doctrine. MIRV technology allows a single missile to carry and launch multiple warheads, reducing the number of missiles and launch facilities required for a given destruction level. While India maintains a no first use (NFU) nuclear policy, MIRV technology introduces a nuanced dimension that may increase the retaliatory nature of India's nuclear strategy. This development has implications for India's nuclear doctrine, the regional balance of power, and the command and control of India's nuclear assets. India's successful integration of MIRV capabilities into its missile program enhances its strategic flexibility and calls for strategic foresight, diplomatic acumen, and a commitment to maintaining a stable and secure global order.
