Agni-III test-fired successfully

Unlike Agni-I and Agni-II, the Agni-III missile has been designed and optimised to carry lighter 200 KT thermo nuclear pay-load weapons.

Something doesnt add up. If its lighter than why is the payload heavier (1.5 Tonnes for AIII vs 1 tonne AI & AII )? Unless the 1.5 tonnes is for future bus?





So the guidance is RLG based INS. They are distinguishing between this and strap-on guidance on earlier models.
