New Delhi: India successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable surface-to-surface Agni-I ballistic missile on Wednesday that has a range of 700 km.
India’s Integrated Test Range (ITR) Director MVKV Prasad said, “It was a practice trial conducted by the Strategic Force Command of the Indian Army.”
The country’s defence scientists claim that because of its specialised navigation system, the missile can reach its target with high degree of accuracy.
The missile has been developed by advanced systems laboratory, the premier missile development laboratory of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in collaboration with Defence Research Development Laboratory and Research Centre Imarat and integrated by Bharat Dynamics Limited, Hyderabad.
Agni-I features:
Weighs 12 tonnes
