“India
on Thursday successfully testfired its home-made, nuclear-capable
Prithvi-II missile from a test range in the eastern state of Odisha,
sources said. 'The surface-to-surface missile, which has a strike
range of 350 km, was testfired from the Integrated Test Range in
Chandipur as part of an user trial by the Indian Army. The testfiring
at 9: 20 p.m. (local time) was successful,' the sources said.”
“The
missile, which was inducted in 2003 after being developed by the
Indian Defense Research and Development Organization, can carry
nuclear warheads up to 1,000 kg.”
“The
last testfiring of the missile was held in November 2014 and that was
also successful, proving that the indigenous missile is now a proven
technology, the sources said.”
