Nuclear-capable Dhanush missile test-fired

Issue No. 8 | April 16-30, 2015

India recently successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable Dhanush ballistic missile with a strike range of 350 km from a naval ship off the Odisha coast. The surface-to-surface Dhanush, a naval variant of India’s indigenously developed Prithvi missile, was test-fired from a ship in the Bay of Bengal off Odisha coast by the Strategic Force Command (SFC) of the defence force.

The single-stage, liquid-propelled Dhanush having 350 km range has already been inducted into the armed forces and is one of the five missiles developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP), defence sources said.

The trial was conducted by the SFC of the defence force in cooperation with DRDO. Dhanush missile is capable of carrying conventional as well as nuclear payload of 500 kg and hit both land- and sea-based targets. The previous trial was successfully conducted on November 14 last year.
