India has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) restricting airspace over the Bay of Bengal from May 6 to 9, leading to speculation about a possible long-range missile test. This restriction encompasses a corridor of approximately 3,560 km from Abdul Kalam Island, a known strategic missile launch site off the Odisha coast. The timing coincides with remarks from Samir V Kamath, chairman of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), who indicated that India is prepared to test its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), the Agni-6, which is designed to have a range exceeding 10,000 km. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emphasized the significance of the Agni-6, claiming it will enhance India's security and position the country among the world's most powerful nations. The missile is expected to feature Multiple Independently Targetable Re-entry Vehicle (MIRV) technology, allowing it to carry multiple nuclear warheads and strike various targets independently. Additionally, India has recently tested a Long Range Anti-Ship Hypersonic Missile (LR-AShM) with a range of over 1,500 km and a maximum speed of Mach 10, showcasing advancements in its defense capabilities.
