                   India on Wednesday (21 February 2018) successfully conducted a night trial of its indigenously developed nuclear capable Prithvi-II missile with a strike range of 350 km, from a test range in Odisha.

                   The surface-to-surface missile was test-fired from a mobile launcher from launch complex-3 of the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur near here around 8.30 pm, as part of a user trial by the Army, defense sources said. 



                    The perfect test launch came after a successful trial of the Agni-5 missile on January 18, Agni-1 on February 6 and Agni II yesterday from the Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast. 

                    Prithvi II missile was also successfully test fired earlier on February 7 from the ITR at Chandipur.The state-of-the-art Prithvi-II missile is capable of carrying 500 to 1,000 kg of warheads and is thrust by liquid propulsion twin engines.

                    The sophisticated missile, which has a strike range of 350 km, uses advanced inertial guidance system with maneuvering trajectory to hit its target, they said.

                    The missile was randomly chosen from the production stock and the entire launch activities were carried out by the specially formed Strategic Force Command (SFC) of the Army, and monitored by the scientists of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as part of training exercise, the sources said.
