For reference, images of the Chinese DF-ZF Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (HGV) launched in 2018, are attached with the post.
The Agni 5 missile which was tested today was showing the same launch characteristics as seen in the DF-ZF HGV launch in 2018.
The missile was traveling at such a low level that it was spotted across the North Eastern states and also from Myanmar and Bangladesh which add relevance to this fact.
