Prithvi - II test fired

The Indian Army successfully test-fired medium range surface-to-surface ballistic missile Prithvi-II from a defence base in Balasore district.
The success came a couple of weeks after the Army successfully conducted its first user trial of 3,000 km nuke-capable Agni-III missile from the Wheeler Island. Strategic Forces Command (SFC) of the Army conducted the trial.
Mounted on a mobile Tatra transporter-erector launcher (MTL), the indigenously built ballistic missile was fired from the launching complex III (LC-III) in the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur-on-sea at about 9.10 am. “The test named as limited stock production (LSP) test was conducted by the user (Indian Army) with the logistic support from the DRDO scientists. The missile used for the test was one of the products picked randomly from the assembly line. The mission met all mission objectives successfully,” said a defence official.
