Political implications, visual impressions
Shrouded in secrecy for its political implications, the first visual impressions of India's most ambitious nuclear delivery system, the Agni-5 ballistic missile, are out. Officials with the Agni programme in Hyderabad confirmed the pictures were an accurate depiction of the in- development weapon.
On February 10, Agni programme director Dr Avinash Chander had told Headlines Today, "The Agni-5 looks similar to the Agni-3, except that it is longer as a result of an additional propulsion stage."
Still at least a year away from its first test-firing-an official estimate says February 2011- the Agni-5 has already acquired a formidable global reputation. In October last year, in its first ever reference to an Indian weapon programme, China's state-owned People's Daily newspaper pointed out that "India's Agni-5 missile is highly road-mobile, and effectively puts Harbin, China's northernmost city within striking range."
Could you please explain to me the emboldened parts?
Though I know "implication" means "that implies" and "visual" means "that we can with see our eyes".

Thank you.
So I guess the expression "Shrouded in secrecy for its political implications" means "The information about Agni 5 missile has been kept secret concerning that it might affect political relations between India and other countries who might feel India is inventing destructive missiles".
