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.

Ramana: That sentence "[color="#800080"]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.[/color]" is unique and lifted from my Agni articles. That Hindu article was written in May 2008, and they all used my Agni web page as source (Including concept drawings) and capability path for Indian strategic program, when my reverse psy-op was taken at face value (with bait, hook and sinker). What I did not know then was the deception by BARC in covering up massive failure of TN device at Pok-II. What was to scare and also confuse Indian detractors was taken as article of faith by DDM and it was a convenient story line by GoI press/psy-ops departments to support, because at that time the option of TN testing to fix TN design was open. A case of home audience taken in by magic spell that was cast for foriegn audience that Richard Spear kind of NPA Ayothullahs sought.
