Prithvi-II ballistic missile successfully test-fired
On September 26, India successfully testfired its nuclear capable Prithvi-II ballistic missile, with a range of 350 km, as part of user trial by the armed forces from Chandipur off Orissa coast, about 15 km from Balasore.
“The indigenously developed surface-tosurface missile was flight tested at around 8.50 a.m. from a mobile launcher from the Integrated Test Range (ITR) launch complex-III,” ITR Director S.P. Dash said.
The trial, conducted as part of operational exercise, was “fully successful,” he said.
The test firing of the short-range ballistic missile, which has already been inducted into the armed forces, was a ‘user trial’, defence sources said.
The sleek missile is “handled by the specially raised strategic force command”,. The missile has a length of nine metres and is one metre in diameter. It is propelled by two engines run on liquid fuel.
Prithvi, the first ballistic missile developed under the country’s prestigious Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP), has the capability of carrying 500 kg of warhead.
The missile uses advanced inertial guidance system with manoeuvring trajectory.
