The
Strategic Forces Command (SFC) of the Army successfully test-fired
Agni-II ballistic missile at 10.25 a.m. on Sunday. It lifted off from a
mobile launcher on Wheeler Island, off the Odisha coast, and travelled
its entire range of 2,000 km before splashing into the targeted area in
the Bay of Bengal, with an accuracy of a few metres. It was a perfect
mission which saw no “holds” and the entire flight lasted more than 10
minutes.
Agni-II, which is capable of carrying nuclear warheads, is 20 meters long and weighs 17 tonnes. Its two stages are propelled by solid fuel. It can carry a payload weighing one tonne. The missile has been developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).
