Agni-IV is an intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO). It is a surface-to-surface missile with an operational range between 3,500 and 4,000 kilometers.
Akash is a medium-range surface-to-air missile (SAM) system with a range of 25-30 km, primarily for air defence.
Prithvi-II is a short-range ballistic missile (SRBM) with a range of around 350 km.
Trishul is a short-range surface-to-air missile with a range of about 9 km and is no longer in active service.
