India Successfully Tests Prithvi-II Short-Range Ballistic Missile
Prithvi-II
India today (15 June) successfully tested short-range ballistic missile Prithvi-II from the Integrated Test Range in Odisha's Chandipur.
"The missile is a proven system and is capable of striking targets with a very high degree of precision," the Ministry of Defence said, adding, "The user training launch successfully validated all operational and technical parameters of the missile."
The nine-metre-tall, single-stage liquid-fuelled Prithvi-II was first test-fired in 1996 and was inducted into the Indian armed forces in 2003. It was the first missile to be developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation under the Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
