India Saturday successfully test-fired its surface-to-surface ballistic missile Shourya from a test range in Orissa, eastern India, the Indo-Asian News Service reported.
The news service quoted Indian defence ministry sources as saying the 600-km-range supersonic missile was launched at 14:.30 p.m. from a canister in a ground launch mode at the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur in the coastal district of Balasore in Orissa.
“The launch of the missile was perfect like in text book and followed the path exactly to the pre-defined target in the Bay of Bengal,” S.P. Dash, director of the test range, was quoted as saying.”
The missile, which is meant to give the Indian Army a credible second-strike capability, was first tested from the same defence base on Nov. 12, 2008, according to the report.—NNI
