India successfully test-fired its indigenously developed nuclear capable Prithvi-II missile on Thursday, which has a strike range of 350 km, as part of a user trial by the army. The missile test was carried out from a mobile launcher from launch complex-3 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Chandipur near here at 1210 hrs.


“The trial data of the missile conducted by the Strategic Force Command (SFC) shows positive results,” said a defence source. The surface-to-surface Prithvi-II missile is capable of carrying 500 kg to 1,000 kg of warheads and is thrusted by liquid propulsion twine engines. It uses advanced inertial guidance system with manoeuvring trajectory to hit its target.

“The missile was randomly chosen from the production stock and the entire launch activities were carried out by the specially formed SFC and monitored by the scientists of Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) as part of training exercise,” a defence scientist said. “The missile trajectory was tracked by DRDO radars, electro-optical tracking systems and telemetry stations located along the coast of Odisha,” the source said.

The downrange teams on board a ship deployed near the designated impact point in the Bay of Bengal monitored the terminal events and splashdown, they said. Inducted into India’s armed forces in 2003, Prithvi II, the first missile to be developed by DRDO under India’s prestigious IGMDP (Integrated Guided Missile Development Program) is now a proven technology.


Such training launches clearly indicate India’s operational readiness to meet any eventuality and also establishes the reliability of this deterrent component of the country’s strategic arsenal, they said. The last user trial of Prithvi-II was successfully conducted on February 19, 2015 from the same test range in Odisha.
 
Liquid fueled old tech, i don't know why India is testing obsolete missiles.

great so when is the next trail launch of NASR Missile planned :coffee:

Nasr is quite high tech as compared to century old obsolete Tech, better you read red fuming nitric acid and their disadvantages. Needs hours to prepare a single launch. :close_tema:
 
Liquid fueled old tech, i don't know why India is testing obsolete missiles.
India is behind Pakistan in Missile Technology. This is the best the DRDO can give to the Indian Army. they don't have the super duper solid fuel missile tech, and all the missiles from Agni series, dhanush, nag, prithvi-3, Sagarika k-series, Akash, Astra are LUL and only Prithvi is ready and capable missile because Pakistan is the only threat india is facing and only country on the basis of which India prepare its military, and only country which makes India to make his Policies, and the Only country whom India have to impress.
 
Same as above i mentioned even Ghauri uses different fuel. We focusing on solid fueled missiles since no further development in Ghauri series.

Zebra is another form of Donkey both does't have brain.

The NEWER versions of Prithvi missiles use solid fuels
:o:
:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Agni series of missiles different based on solid fuel.

So, this is R&D development test?

We test fire Obsolete missiles to provoke our westerns neighbors, soon we will see a Ghznavi, Babur, Aurangzeb:cheesy: launching from Pakistan
