Displaying high accuracy, India's nuclear capable Prithvi-II ballistic missile, with a striking range of 350km, was on Monday successfully testfired as part of user trial by the armed forces from Chandipur. Describing the trial of the indigenously developed strategic missile as “fully successful”, ITR director SP Dash said: “It met all the mission objectives and was perfect like a text book launch.” The launch operations were carried out by the armed forces as part of user trial and regular training exercise and monitored by the scientists of Defence Research Development Organization (DRDO). Being handled by the specially raised strategic force command, the short-range sleek missile has a length of 9 metres and is one metre in diameter.
