India has recently issued Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) declaring the closure of airspace for missile testing activities throughout December 2023. These NOTAMs have piqued interest due to the undisclosed nature of the missile systems being tested and the potential implications.

Here’s a breakdown of the announced tests:
NOTAM 1:
- Dates: December 12th – 15th, 2023
- Duration: 4 days
- Purpose: Undisclosed
NOTAM 2:
- Date: December 13th, 2023
- Duration: 1 day
- Designated area: 990 km radius
- Potential test: IRBM from the Agni missile family
NOTAM 3:
- Dates: December 21st – 29th, 2023
- Duration: 9 days
- Purpose: Undisclosed
While the specific types of missiles being tested in NOTAMs 1 and 3 remain unknown, the designated area of 990 km in NOTAM 2 suggests a potential test of an Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missile (IRBM) from the Agni missile family. Notably, the Agni family includes missiles with ranges exceeding 2,000 km, making them capable of reaching targets deep inside enemy territory.”
