The successful trial paves way induction into India’s strategic arsenal.
India on Tuesday successfully flight tested the indigenously developed 4000-km range nuclear capable intermediate ballistic missile (IRBM), Agni-IV, from the Wheeler Island off the Odisha coast.
“It is a successful launch meeting all mission objectives,” MVKV Prasad, director of Integrated Test Range (ITR) of Defence Research Development Organisation (DRDO) at Chandipur in Balasore district, about 200 km east of Bhubaneswar.
Conducted by the Strategic Command Force (SCF) of the Indian Army, it was the first user trial of the surface to surface missile following the success of three consecutive development trials. The trial of the 'China-centric' missile was aimed at gauging the performance of its sub-system and checking the readiness of the armed forces to launch the missile on their own.
